according to the few studies in active rest interval between the resistance exercises sets, it can’t be explicitly commented about the effect of it on performance in consecutive sets. purpose: the purpose of the current study was to compare different active and passive rest interval durations (3 and 4 minutes) on the numbers of repetition of bench press with 50 and 75 percent of 1rm in untraine...

thermophilic bacillus sp. gus1, isolated from  a soil  sample obtained from citrus garden, produced at least three proteases as detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) and zymogram analysis. the enzymes were stable in the alkaline ph range (8.0-12.0), with the optimum temperature and ph range of the proteases being 70ºc and 6.0-12.0, respectively. all th...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the response of plasma visfatin to resistance exercise intensity and its relationship with insulin resistance, growth hormone and il-6. after familiarization and determining their maximum strength (1-rm), 15 healthy young subjects (age: 26.2±4.1 yr, weight: 75.1±9.1 kg) performed three resistance exercise sessions at intensities of 30%, 55% and 80...

background and objectives: staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections in every region of the world. clindamycin is one of the alternative agents used to treat s. aureus infections and accurate identification of clindamycin resistance is important to prevent therapeutic failure. unfortunately, inducible clindamycin resistance is not detected by st...

background mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals. even a small amount of it is toxic for all living organisms. some of bacteria have developed special resistance mechanisms against mercury, in addition to resistant to different antibiotics. these bacteria usually acquire hg and antibiotic resistance genes via horizontal gene transfer in their habitat. objectives the aim of this study wa...

puccinia recondite (leaf rust) is an endemic disease in iran; this disease can affect the productivity and quality of wheat, that occurring in all wheat growing regions. genetic resistance to leaf rust of wheat is the most important strategy to control the diseases and 51 leaf rust resistance genes (lr gene) are reported in wheat to provide resistance to leaf rust. this study aims to identify p...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of resistance training for 10 weeks on muscle strength, lean body mass, serum myostatin, and insulin resistance in obese-overweight men. seventeen obsess-overweight men(age:=43.1±4.7 yr, body mass index = 29.1±2.17 kg/m2) participated in the study the subjects were randomly assigned to resistance training (n=9) and control (n=8) groups. resistan...
