One of the diagnostic criteria in order to differentiate between physiological and pathological left ventricular hypertrophy is the wall thickness reduction after at least 3-month detraining period, which is considered a marker of the athlete's heart. This report describes detraining-related regression of LV hypertrophy and improvement in myocardial deformation in a junior athlete likely to hav...

This study examined the effect of aerobic training on leg strength, power, and muscle mass in previously sedentary, healthy older men (70-80 yr). Training consisted of 30-45 min of cycle ergometry at 50-70% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), 3 times weekly for 16 wk, then 4 wk detraining, or assignment to a nontraining control group (n = 12 both groups). Training increased leg strength, leg p...

Despite the preventative and therapeutic effects of regular exercise, exhaustive exercise may be harmful to health. The present study aimed to determine the protective effect of endurance training and cinnamon bark extract (CBE) supplementation on oxidative responses induced by an exhaustive exercise schedule in rats. The rats were randomly divided into the following five groups of 6; control s...

introduction: previous studies have indicated that stress levels of glucocorticoid hormones induce impairment of long term memory retrieval, but the underlying mechanisms (genomic or non-genomic) are not clear. to clarify this issue, we investigated the involvement of brain corticosteroid receptors and protein synthesis in the glucocorticoid-induced impairment of memory retrieval. methods: 140 ...

background: overexpression of lectin-like low density lipoprotein (lox-1) receptor plays an important role in hyperglycemia-induced vascular complications such as atherosclerosis. based on the beneficial effects of exercise on preventing cardiovascular complications of diabetes, we aimed to examine the protective effects of aerobic exercise on expression of lox-1 receptor and production of free...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of detraining on motor unit potential area (SMUP), muscular function and physical performance, according to CNTF gene polymorphism. METHODS For this study, GG (normal homozygote, n = 8) group and GA + AA (mutation heterozygote and homozygote, n = 10) group were divided by CNTF gene polymorphism and both groups were performed detrain...

(+/-)-Phenylpropanolamine (PPA), a widely available anorectic and decongestant, was evaluated in several behavioral paradigms rhesus monkeys for central nervous system neurotoxicity rats. PPA (1-30 mg/kg intragastric) reduced food intake but not self-administered i.v. (0.3-10 mg/kg/injection) by experienced drug self-administration. (30-100 resulted amphetamine-like responding two of four train...
