Either calorie restriction [CR; consuming 60-65% of ad libitum (AL) intake] or acute exercise can independently improve insulin sensitivity in old age, but their combined effects on muscle insulin signaling and glucose uptake have previously been unknown. Accordingly, we assessed the independent and combined effects of CR (beginning at 14 wk old) and acute exercise (3-4 h postexercise) on insul...

Aims: Obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease. Today, changing childhood lifestyle may affect on cardiovascular diseases factors. The goal of this research was to determine the evaluation of changes in lipid profiles, insulin resistance and serum FGF21 following three types of exercise training in sedentary obese children. Materials and Methods: Sixty obese boys 8-12 years old with z...

BACKGROUND Regular aerobic exercise is essential for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and may be particularly beneficial for those treated with thiazolidinediones, since it may prevent associated weight gain. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combined exercise and rosiglitazone treatment on body composition and glucose metabolism in obese diabetes-prone animals...

Background & Aims: Immune system abnormalities such as inflammation, increased autoimmunity and the skewed expression of soluble mediators, including cytokines have been observed in autistic patients. The present study aimed to compare the effects of vitamin D supplementation and/or aquatic exercise training on the serum level of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-1RA, and stereotyp...

objective: environmental pollution is of major concern today and lead is considered to be one of the most important environmental pollutants. long-term contact with lead causes harmful effects to humans. this study seeks to determine the effects of curcuma longa (turmeric extract) consumption and exercise training on glutathione peroxidase and protein carbonyl in kidney and spleen tissues from ...

Background: Balance in stroke patients because of damage to muscles and control centers of the body are disrupted. Aim: To determine the effect of combined isometric and isotonic exercises on brain stroke patients’ static balance. Method: In this clinical trial, 30 male patients with brain stroke were randomly allocated to one of experimental or control groups. An 8-week combined isometric and ...

Objective: The use of non-enzymatic antioxidants in food supplements and proper exercise can have a positive effect on decreasing oxidative stress by free radical hunting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training and L-carnitine supplementation on some of the oxidative stress factors in the liver of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental s...
