Background and purpose: Aging is an important phenomenon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training and supplementation of green tea on plasma apelin levels and insulin resistance in elderly women with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods: In this quasi experimental research with pre–post-test design, 44 subjects were randomly selected from elderly w...

Background & Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 12-weeks of endurance and resistance training on ANP, Endothelin-1, Apelin and blood pressure in hypertensive middle-aged men. Materials & Methods: Twenty eight middle-aged men (age= 39.3±2.4 years and BMI= 28.6±1.7 kg/m2) with hypertensive volunteered to participate in this study and were randomly d...

Background and Objectives: Adipokines as lipid-secreted proteins play an important role in controlling the metabolism of the body. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of ERRα (Estrogen-related receptor alpha) inhibition on the serum levels of Chemerin, Nesfatin-1 ,and Apelin after 4 weeks of endurance training in male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: In this ex...

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 8 weeks endurance training and L-NAME on Apelin in myocardial tissue and glucose in elderly male’s rats. Methods: For this purpose, 24 vistar elderly rats with average 20 months old purchased from Razi Institute and transferred to Research Center were randomly divided into four groups: 1. control, 2. training, 3.training and...

Background and Objective: Nowadays, it has been recognized that Apelin and Omentin as the hormones secreted by adipose tissue, can be effective in regulating metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to determine the impact of 12 weeks of resistance training exercises on the Apelin, Omentin-1 levels and insulin resistance in overweight elderly women suffering from type 2 diabetes. Materi...

Background: Apelin is a novel adipokine that is closely related with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of progressive resistance training on plasma concentrations of plasma apelin and insulin resistance in middle-aged men with type 2 diabetes. Methods: twenty seven types 2 diabetic men selected as subjects and were rand...
