Background: The role of Wnts as mediators of pancreatic development has been confirmed, and exercise training may affect this process. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance training and moderate-intensity training on plasma Wnt3a, Wnt4, and pancreatic beta-cell count in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Twenty-four rats were divi...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks resistance training (RT) on α -1A protein of pre-synaptic P-Q-type Calcium Channels in FHL and soleus muscles of rats. 16 male wistar rats provided from razi institute, randomly divided to 2 groups (Control-Sham; n=8 and Resistance Training; n= 8). Training group conducted 8 weeks (5 session/week) resistance program on spe...

Background and Objective: Chemerin and vaspin are adipose tissue-driven adipokines and appear to be associated with inflammation and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of aerobic interval training on chemerin, vaspin and insulin resistance index in overweight students. Materials and Methods: Twenty four male students voluntarily participated in t...

Introduction: Extreme sports are associated with immunological changes as well as changes in the indices of inflammation and muscle damage. So, the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of 6 weeks resistance training with and without vascular occlusion, on serum levels of CRP and LDH in active girls. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental one. 36 female  students of&nbsp...

Objective: Addiction to narcotic drugs is associated with cardiovascular diseases; and increased levels of biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and fibrinogen are independently correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of resistance training on C-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels in drug addicted men. Method: In...

Introduction: Vaspin is a new adipokine which is a member of serine protease inhibitor family and might improve insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training (aerobic and resistance) on vaspin, and C-reactive protein levels in middle-aged sedentary obese men. Materials and Methods: 20 sedentary obese men (age: 50.7 ± 2.1 years, the percent of bo...

Background: Omentin-1 is recognized as new Adipokine that mostly is excreted from visceral fatty tissue. Circulating levels of Omentin-1 are inversely associated with obesity. The aim of the present study on two training methods of endurance and resistance on Omentin-1 levels of plasma and factors related to obesity and overweight in obese girls, respectively. Methods: Thirty four obese and ...
