Introduction: Renal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) caused kidney injury gender dependently. High fat diet (HFD) contributes the development of renal dysfunction. L-arginine (L-arg) and regular exercise are recognized to be protective in I/R and lipotoxicity. We compared the role of aerobic exercise and L-arg supplementation against renal I/R in male and female rats fed with HFD. Methods: 54 adult ...

The mechanisms whereby regular exercise reduces chronic inflammation remain unclear. We investigated whether regular aerobic exercise alters basal levels of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-4 in two randomized trials of physical activity. The Alberta Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (ALPHA, n = 320) and the Breast Cancer and Exercise Trial in Alberta (BETA, n = 400) were two-cente...

Cognitive performances are tightly associated with the maximal aerobic exercise capacity, both of which decline with age. The benefits on mental health of regular exercise, which slows the age-dependent decline in maximal aerobic exercise capacity, have been established for centuries. In addition, the maintenance of an optimal cerebrovascular endothelial function through regular exercise, part ...

BACKGROUND Exposure to Air pollution PM10 results in lung inflammation increased risk of lung cancer. Regular aerobic exercise improves the inflammatory status in different lung diseases. However, the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on the pulmonary response to PM10 have not been investigated. OBJECTIVES The present study evaluated the effect of aerobic exercise on the lung inflammatory...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Regular physical activity and exercise have become important components of cystic fibrosis care. This review summarizes the recent evidence in favour of regular exercise in cystic fibrosis that has accumulated over the past years. RECENT FINDINGS Several recently published small randomized-controlled trials and observational studies have added to our knowledge on positive ef...

Aims: Hemodialysis affects the patient's life in the long run so most hemodialysis patients have an inactive lifestyle. The poverty of movement is associated with a high risk of poor quality of life, hospitalization, and mortality among dialysis patients.  Regular exercise is recommended to correct mobility deficiency in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine ...
