Visfatin, an adipokine hormone produced primarily by visceral adipose tissue in mammals, has been implicated in the immune system, cellular aging, and glucose metabolism. Increased visceral adiposity and hyperglycemia have been correlated with elevated plasma visfatin levels in humans. The present study investigated visfatin cDNA and protein expression as well as plasma visfatin levels in chick...

Background: Irisin is a myokine suggested to exert anti-obesity benefits. On the other hand, paraxonase-1 (PON 1) one of most important free radical scavenging enzymes and among main protectors lipoproteins against oxidizing compounds. This study aimed evaluate effect 8 weeks concurrent training on serum levels irisin, PON 1, lipid profile, insulin resistance in men with metabolic syndrome. Met...

The evidence that regular physical exercise reduces the risk of developing cancer is well described. However, interaction between and not fully clarified yet. Several myokines released by skeletal muscle appear to have a direct anti-tumour function. There are few data on myokine secretion after in patients with advanced tumours. Pancreatic (PC) very aggressive usually fatal cancer. To investiga...

objective(s):although recent investigations have shown chronic inflammation and inflammation-associated diseases might be ameliorated by exercise; little is known about the relation between exercise training with anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines. materials and methods: this cross sectional study was conducted to compare interleukin-4 (il-4), il-6, il-10, il-12, il-13, interferon gamma (ifn-γ) le...
