cromolyn sodium, a mast cell stabilizing agent, provides an immediate protective effect against the exercise-induced bronchoconstriction while being used before the exercise. however, cromolyn is ineffective in reversing asthmatic bronchospasm; it is used as a maintenance therapy and has a prophylactic role in chronic asthma.    the purpose of this study was to determine the extent of change in...

background: severe metabolic acidosis occurs during orthotopic liver transplantation (olt) particularly during the anhepatic phase. although nahco3 is considered as the current standard therapy, there are numerous adverse effects. the aim of this study was to determine whether the restricted use of normal saline during anesthesia could reduce the need for nahco3. methods: in this study we enrol...

OBJECTIVES Analgesic effects of oxytocin and it's the other physiological effects were well-known. The aim of present study was determination of nitric oxide role on analgesic effects of oxytocin in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS 216 male Albino mice were divided randomly into two experimental groups, tail flick and formalin test. Each experimental group consists of three main groups including: ...

background: different stressors induce learning and memory impairment and physical activity influence learning and memory enhancement. in this research, we investigated the effect of synchronized running activity with stress on acquisition and retention time of passive avoidance test. methods: male wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups as follows: control (co), sham (sh), exercise ...

Acute exercise increases vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA levels in skeletal muscle, with the greatest increase in VEGF mRNA. VEGF functions via binding to the VEGF receptors Flk-1 and Flt-1. Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, has been suggested to reduce the microvascu...

We aimed to investigate the influence of inverse moxibustion on the translocation of telomerase from cardiomyocyte mitochondria of growing mice following exercise. Sixty mice were divided into six groups (n = 10 each). For the control groups, mice were handled each day, but not subjected to moxibustion. For the inverse moxibustion groups, Guan yuan and Zusanli acupuncture points were moxibusted...

conclusions the trunk stabilization exercises are more effective than conventional back care exercises in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic lbp. results the results of the study demonstrated significant improvements in abdominal muscle endurance and reduction in vas and modq score of both groups (p = 0.001). the trunk stabilization exercise group showed greater gains in abdominal musc...

Introduction: Extensive human and animal research shows that exercise has beneficial effects on multiple clinical outcomes for patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS). This research was an attempt to address the effect of aerobic training with the consumption of probiotic on the myelination of nerve fibers in a cuprizone-induced demyelination mouse model of MS. Methods: Mice, which we...
