The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance training with and without vitamin E on the expression of p53 and Phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN) tumor suppressor genes of prostate glands in male rats. For this purpose, 50 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned into 5 groups: (1) control group (CON, n = 10), (2) sham (S, n = 10), (3) endurance training (ET, n = 1...

The effects of endurance training on exercise capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients have been studied thoroughly, while resistance training has been rarely evaluated. This study investigated the effects of resistance training in comparison with endurance training in patients with moderate to severe COPD and peripheral muscle ...

Endurance and strength training are established as distinct exercise modalities, increasing either mitochondrial density or myofibrillar units. Recent research, however, suggests that mitochondrial biogenesis is stimulated by both training modalities. To test the training "specificity" hypothesis, mitochondrial respiration was studied in permeabilized muscle fibers from 25 sedentary adults afte...

The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of high intensity endurance training (ET) and resistance training (RT) alone and in combination on various military tasks. Thirty-five male soldiers were randomly assigned to one of four training groups: total body resistance training plus endurance training (RT + ET), upper body resistance training plus endurance training [UB + ET), RT ...

background the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance training accompanied by fasting on lipid profiles and body composition in men. material and methods twenty-six healthy male volunteer subjects participated in the study and were divided into fasting (f) and endurance training+ fasting (et+f) groups. et+f group exercised 3 times per week on treadmill during ramadan month...

Background & Aims: Endurance training has an important role in the prevention and adjuvant therapy of breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of endurance training on miR- 155 expression, signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) gene expression, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) protein in breast cancer tumor in mice. Methods: In this study, 16 female Ba...

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 ...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of endurance (et), resistance (rt) and concurrent training (ct) on plasma levels of visfatin, insulin, glucose and insulin resistance of non-athlete men with obesity. it was a semi-experimental study. thirty six men [age: 21.48 (0.25), and bf%: 27.39 (0.52)], voluntarily participated in this study after public announcement in univer...

BACKGROUND Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a member of the collectin family and is an important component of the pulmonary innate host defense. To find the relationship between exercise training and SP-D in diabetes, we examined the possible effects of a 10-week endurance exercise-training program on serum levels of SP-D, leptin, lipid profile and insulin resistance in obese women with type-2 di...
