This investigation assesses the influences of acuteL-Arginine supplementation on selected markers of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after one by one heavy eccentric exercise in healthy young females. Methods: Twelve healthy young females students of the University of Mohaghegh...

objective: elevated amino acid homocysteine (hcy) levels and insufficient physical activity are the risk factors in alzheimer disease (ad) development. the effect of intermittent aerobic training on memory retention test and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars) and superoxide dismutase (sod) levels in the dorsal hippocampus of rats which were stimulated with hcy is investigated. meth...

Introduction: One of the recommended exercises for breast cancer patients is Pilates, which, although is useful in some aspects, but its effect on the immune system is not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of Pilates exercises on immune factors in women with breast cancer. Methods: Participants of the study included 30 breast cancer patients aged 30–57 year...

inhibition of prostaglandin (pgs) production leads to decrease in orthodontic tooth movement (otm). it is not known whether inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 (cox-1) or cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) is the key mechanism for this effect. in this study, the effect of celecoxib, a highly-selective cox-2 inhibitor, was investigated on otm in rats.four groups of male rats (seven animals in each goup) were u...

background spinal anesthesia is an important and commonly used method for surgical anesthetic in operating rooms. however, even with identical drug dosage and administration mode, the extent of drug distribution in vivo is highly variable and difficult to control. preanesthetic administration of fluids immediately before spinal anesthesia (preload) is normal practice. the choice of fluid type m...
