purpose the inflammatory state of adipose tissue in obese subjects may be the most important factor linking increased adipose tissue mass to insulin resistance. chemerin is a newly discovered adipokine that plays an important role in macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue and may contribute to the development of inflammation and insulin resistance. we examined the effects of 12 weeks of ae...

some important compatibility that occur with exercise is increase of the capillary density or angiogenesis. vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) have mitogen role for endothelial cells and consider an important intermediary angiogenesis process. the purpose of this study was comparing the effect of two type of physical activity on response of serum vegf-a in non-athlete men. for this aim 1...

this study aimed to evaluate the effect of aerobic training with increased resistance of chest wall movement on ventilatory efficiency and pulmonary functions in untrained students. 18 untrained healthy male university students volunteered to participate in this study and were divided into two groups. they performed aerobic training with 70% – 80% of hrmax, three days a week for four weeks¬. ex...

Background: Skeletal muscle is a tissue that secretes myokines from muscle cells in response to training stimuli and muscle contractions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of 4-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on the expression of three genes: apelin, decorin, and musclin in the skeletal muscle fibers of Wistar rats. In addition, the study examined the changes in gen...

This paper fortifies and defends the so called Sufficiency Argument (SA) against Classical Invariantism. In Sect. 2, I explain the version of the SA formulated but then rejected by Brown (2008a). In Sect. 3, I show how cases described by Hawthorne (2004), Brown (2008b), and Lackey (forthcoming) threaten to undermine one or the other of the SA’s least secure premises. In Sect. 4, I buttress one ...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two types of rehabilitation techniques, including aerobic and strengthening exercises on patients with knee rheumatoid arthritis (ra). methods: 48 male patients with knee ra were randomly assigned into 3 groups, including aerobic exercises, strengthening exercise, and control. the two first groups completed their treatment ...

The second is that although Buridan and the other fourteenth-century logicians state these distinctions with a great deal of precision, they say almost nothing about the point of the distinctions. Why are these distinctions d...
