Background: A high-fat diet causes hyperinsulinemia and increases insulin resistance in the body. On the other hand, the oxidative stress caused by hyperglycemia can lead to the exacerbation of hyperglycemia and increase the complications of diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are one of the most important complications of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effect of garlic supplementation on oxidative stress markers (AST, ALT, LDH, and CPK) following progressive resistance exercise. Methods: This research was a double-blind clinical trial with repeated measures. After obtaining informed consent, 20 sedentary females participated in this study (age: 23.15±2.65 years, BMI: 22.93±1.25 kg.m2). They w...

Background and purpose: Activity-dependent expression of neurotrophins in skeletal muscle is not well established. In this research we aimed at studying the effect of one session resistance exercise on mRNA expression of NT4.5 and P75 proteins in slow and fast skeletal muscles of Wistar rats. Materials and methods: Sixteen male Wistar rats (10 wk of age) were housed at room temperature under a...

Background: Inflammation plays an important role in the incidence and development of metabolic disorders and exercises along with dietary restrictions for weight loss. It has beneficial effects on reducing inflammatory markers, especially in type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined exercise (resistance-aerobic) with and without diet restriction on weight...

Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of exercise training with resveratrol on PGC-1α and PDK4 gene expression in gastrocnemius muscle tissue of elderly type 2 diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: 42 male rats with type 2 diabetes, 250 to 300 g were divided into 6 groups; healthy-control, diabetic-control, diabetic+interval exercise, Diabetic+Supplement, Diabetic+interva...
