Introduction: Resistin, as a novel adipocytokine, is associated with type 2 diabetes. The present study aimed to determine the effect of circuit resistance exercise training on plasma resistin concentration and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic men. Methods: In this applied experimental study, 24 type 2 diabetic men were selected and randomly assigned into two exercise (n = 15, aged 46.4...

Background: Orexin neurons drive arousal and motivated behaviors in response to stress. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of pilates training on serum levels of orexin and insulin resistance in overweight children. Materials and Methods: 20 overweight children (10 - 13 years old) were selected from volunteers using purposive sampling, and randomly divided into t...

abstract i the purpose of this study was to launch a thorough investigation concerning the possibility of differing orientations to the writing proficiency construct by native and non-native english speaking teacher raters. it mainly revolved around the international english language testing system (ielts) that is widely administered and employed as a measure of general proficiency in englis...

Introduction Protein-D Surfactant (SPD) is a new factor associated with glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of resistance training on surfactant protein-D in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods In this experimental study، 48 adult male Wistar rats in the weight range of 2...

Background: It has been shown that C1q TNF-related protein 5 (CTRP5) is a novel adipokine and important molecule related to metabolism regulation. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of different training protocols on improving serum levels of CTRP5, fasting blood glucose, insulin, Insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Methods: Sixty men with T2DM (mean age [X̅±SD]=51.45±4.26 years)...

Background and Objectives: Obesity increaces inflammatory markers and causes insulin resistance, and   exercise training plays an effective role in improving these markers. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Pilates training on C-reactive protein (CRP), insulin resistance, and body composition in middle-aged obese women. Materials and Metho...

 Background: Visfatin is a newly characterized adipokines which is highly expressed in visceral adipose tissue and may play a role in insulin resistance. The aim of this study was assessing the effect of 12 weeks aerobic exercise on Visfatin level and insulin resistance in obese women. Methods: This study was a semi-experimental research. Twenty obese volunteer women (age 37±9.89 yr, bo...

Background: Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is directly associated with increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on FTO expression of subcutaneous fat tissue in T2DM rats. Methods: In this experimental study, twelve males Wistar rats (220±10 g) with T2...

Background and Objective: Orexin is an orexigenic peptide and is present in the form of A and B in the blood. Orexin neurons respond to a number of metabolic signals that indicate the body's energy status. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of six weeks of aerobic training on orexin level, insulin resistance and anthropometric indices in overweight women. Materials & Methods: In...
