BACKGROUND Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is precursor of sex steroid hormone. We demonstrated that acute DHEA injection to type 1 diabetes model rats induced improvement of hyperglycemia. However, the effect of the combination of DHEA administration and exercise training on insulin resistance is still unclear. This study was undertaken to determine whether 6-weeks of DHEA administration and/or ...

Background and Objectives: Apoptosis plays a key role in pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases due to loss of terminally differentiated cardiac myocytes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate effects of combined dietary restriction and aerobic training on indices of myocardial apoptosis in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this study, 32 three-month-old male rats wer...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of omega-3 supplementation with 4 weeks of plyometric training on serum changes of brain derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) and oxidative stress and their relationship in active men. 28 physical education male students (age 23.21±1.98 year, height 174.25±5.34 cm, weight 66.83±7.49 kg, bmi 20.03±2.25 kg/m2) were randomly divided into four group...

Our laboratory has demonstrated (Steen MS, Foianini KR, Youngblood EB, Kinnick TR, Jacob S, and Henriksen EJ, J Appl Physiol 86: 2044-2051, 1999) that exercise training and treatment with the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor trandolapril interact to improve insulin action in insulin-resistant obese Zucker rats. The present study was undertaken to determine whether a similar interac...

introduction: effects of exercise on different body systems, especially cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems are evidenced. there is a dynamic homeostatic balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis in normal circulation. effect of exercise and training on this homeostatic balance has been studied extensively but there are a few studies with regards to analysis of the effects of training...

purpose post exercise proteinuria and increased urinary gamma-glutamyl transferase (ggt) levels can be indicative of exercise-induced renal damage. the aim of this investigation is to study the effect of one session of intensive training on renal damage markers and compare their values to those 6 hours after training. methods in this cross-sectional study with pre- and post-test design, 10 elit...

BACKGROUND Aerobic exercise and cognitive training have been effective in improving cognitive functions; however, whether the combination of these two can further enhance cognition and clinical outcomes in stroke survivors with cognitive decline remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the treatment effects of a sequential combination of aerobic exercise and cognitive training on cognitiv...
