 Background: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of fasting during Ramadan (as a dietary pattern) and regular aerobic exercise on LCN2, lipid profile and insulin resistance indexes in non-active obese men. Methods: This study was a semi-experimental research with a repeated measures design. In this study 18 obese men with a range of 40 to 50 years old and BMI over 30 kg p...

Introduction: Failure to control glucose levels for a long time leads to various complications, including neuropathy and decreased muscle mass. Our aim was to investigate the effect of controlling high blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity following aerobic exercise on changes in lean body mass and frequency of ground reaction forces during running in patients with diabetic neuro...

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare effects of three combined aerobic-resistance exercise training protocols with different intensities on metabolic control and Visfatin levels in men with type 2 diabetes. Methods: 43 male patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into 4 groups (three combined aerobic-resistance exercise training groups 1, 2, 3 and control). Training...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training with coriander seed extract on apoA-1, Lipid Profile and Insulin Resistance in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: 40 diabetic male Wistar rats with the average age of 12 weeks and weight 130 ± 10 g were randomly divided into four groups: control, extract, training and training-extract. Diab...

Introduction: Vaspin is a new adipokine which is a member of serine protease inhibitor family and might improve insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training (aerobic and resistance) on vaspin, and C-reactive protein levels in middle-aged sedentary obese men. Materials and Methods: 20 sedentary obese men (age: 50.7 ± 2.1 years, the percent of bo...

Background & Aim: The supplements and exercise training are used to diabetes control. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks high intensity interval training and caffeine intake on glycemic indices and insulin resistance in diabetic rats. Methods: In a quasi-experimental study, 50 Wistar diabetic male rats were randomly divided into five groups including control...

    Background & Aims : Eotaxin is an important chemokine in asthma prevalence and adiponectin, with anti-inflammatory properties, acts as an agent that can decrease the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks of interval endurance training on plasma eotaxin, adiponectin levels , insulin resistance, serum lipid profile, an...
