the present study aimed to investigate the possible effects of focused highlighted error feedback on grammatical accuracy of writing among iranian intermediate efl learners. after selecting 52 homogenous participants from among 70 university students attending azad university of rasht and randomly dividing them into two intact groups of 26 students, the researcher exposed the participants of th...

this study investigated the impact of explicit instruction of morphemic analysis and synthesis on the vocabulary development of the students. the participants were 90 junior high school students divided into two experimental groups and one control group. morphological awareness techniques (analysis/synthesis) and conventional techniques were used to teach vocabulary in the experimental groups a...

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the simultaneous effect of resistance training and stem cell injection on the levels of some indicators of skeletal muscle apoptosis in STZ-induced diabetic male rats. Methods: In this study, 30 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups. Rats in the diabetic group and the diabetic group + stem cell injection had a total of 17 sessions...

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of twelve weeks of combined exercise training on CTRP3, TNF-α, IL6 and insulin resistance in women with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients were divided into three groups, i.e. The control group (38.20±3.11 years), the aerobic-resistance combined exercise group(37.63±3.69 year) and the resistanc...

Aim: Aging is associated with some changes in the structure and function of the liver. Increased collagen deposition as well as decreased mitochondrial function are among these changes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exercise and vitamin C intake on PGC-1α, MFn1 and collagen deposition in elderly rats. Material and Methods: The present study was an experimental ...

Background and Aim: Aging process is associated with increased free radicals and cellular damage. However, resistance training may cause balance of the oxidative and antioxidant system in the elderly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of progressive resistance training (PRT) on malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme ...

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of resistance training with and without the use of aqueous extracts of barberry and saffron on serum levels of RBP4, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance in obese mice. Methods: In this study, 80 mice with a mean weight of 41± 2 g were exposed to high fat diet for 10 weeks. Then, they were randomly assigned to 8 ...
