The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of hypoxic exposure during prolonged endurance exercise sessions (79 min in total) on post-exercise hepcidin levels in trained male endurance athletes. Ten endurance athletes (mean ± standard deviation; height: 169.8 ± 7.1 cm, weight: 57.1 ± 5.0 kg) conducted two endurance exercise sessions under either a normobaric hypoxic conditi...

leptin is a hormone, which is secreted from fat tissue, has an important role to set cell metabolism and energy balance. the present study aims at the effect of twelve weeks high intensity interval training (hiit) on leptin level and obesity dependent factors among female students suffering overweight. in this semi-experimental study, twenty four students with bmi of 25-30 kg/m2 were selected p...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of long-term continuation of low-intensity exercise training on weight maintenance, substrate metabolism, and beta-adrenergic-mediated fat oxidation in weight-reduced obese men. Preceding this part of the study, subjects lost 15 +/- 6 kg of body weight by energy restriction with or without low-intensity exercise training. Twenty-nine su...

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the elderly is an epidemic that has major impact on global health. Thus this experimental study aimed to compare the response of microRNA-133a (miR-133a) in different tissues and of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in bone marrow tissue following resistance and endurance training in old rats with high-fat diet and streptozotocin (HFD/STZ)-induced ...

Athletes in sports demanding repeat maximal work outputs frequently train concurrently utilizing sequential bouts of intense endurance and resistance training sessions. On a daily basis, maximal work within subsequent bouts may be limited by muscle glycogen availability. Recently, the ingestion of a unique high molecular weight (HMW) carbohydrate was found to increase glycogen re-synthesis rate...
