Objective: The overweight-related health problems among adolescents are obvious. Resistance training is recognized as a safe and efficacious exercise modality to have health-promoting effects in overweight adolescents. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of circuit resistance training (CRT) in improving inflammatory status, insulin resistance and body composition in overweight male adolesce...

Copper is both an essential micronutrient and a toxic heavy metal for most living cells. The presence of high concentrations of cupric ions in the environment promotes the selection of microorganisms possessing genetic determinants for copper resistance. Several examples of chromosomal and plasmid copper-resistance systems in bacteria have been reported, and the mechanisms of resistance have st...

Anthelmintic resistance has emerged as an important problem in animal industries. Understanding resistance mechanisms, especially against macrocyclic lactones (MLs), is the first step in developing better diagnostic tools. Effects of several MLs including ivermectins and milbemycins were tested using two well established in vitro assays: the larval development assay (LDA) and the larval migrati...

Insulin resistance has been documented in type 1 diabetes and may contribute to the high risk for cardiovascular disease in this population and progression of nephropathy. We investigated associations of renal parameters, including urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE), serum creatinine and creatinine clearance, with surrogate measure of insulin sensitivity calculated using a formula derived fro...

We aimed to investigate carbapenem resistance, resistance mechanisms, risk factors and epidemiological features of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from related infections in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Carbapenemase activity was determined by MHT, MBL Etest and enzyme extraction methods. Presence of extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemaseencodi...
