While regular exercise training is associated with numerous health benefits, a single bout of physical exercise has been shown to induce inflammatory process and cellular damage. However, natural supplementation may attenuate these in athletes. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the effect of BCAA supplementation on serum C reactive protein, creatine kinase (CK) after acute resist...

Introduction: Studies have shown that insufficient recovery between sessions causes immune suppression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated bouts resistance and endurance exercise on blood leukocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes count and plasma cortisol levels in athlete girls. Materials and methods: 9 athlete girls (ages, 20-25 years), participated i...

The effect of resistance exercise on blood lipids is not clear yet. The purpose of this study was to examine the cholesterol responses to a heavy resistance leg press exercise emphasizing on the eccentric movement 24 and 48 hours following exercise and to quantify the cardiorespiratory responses of the exercise bout in an attempt to clarify the exercise characteristics that may be responsible f...

visfatin is a newly discovered adipokine which increases along with obesity. it is not clear whether rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training which induces changes in adipose tissue and blood lipid might decrease the plasma visfatin level. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training on rest visfatin levels some metabolic risk factors in ob...

Creatine monohydrate supplementation in females is largely under-represented the literature, and their potentially differential hemodynamic responses are unknown. Methods: Twenty-eight resistance-trained women (25.5 ± 6.1 years, 59.7 6.3 kg, 163 5 cm) were randomly assigned to supplement creatine (CRE; g + dextrose) or placebo (PLA; 10 four times per day for 7 days a double-blind fashion. Each ...

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a common maternal disease that complicates 5 to 10% of pregnancies and remains as the major cause of maternal and neonatal mortality. Cost-effective interventions aimed at preventing the development of preeclampsia are urgently needed. However, the pathogenesis of PE is not well known. Multiple mechanisms such as oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and insu...
