Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracyclines antibiotic and is one of the most effective antitumor drugs. However, using this drug is associated with poisoning of healthy tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in hematological parameters of male rats exposed to doxorubicin after eight weeks of high-intensity interval training and crocin consumption. Materials a...

objective: elevated amino acid homocysteine (hcy) levels and insufficient physical activity are the risk factors in alzheimer disease (ad) development. the effect of intermittent aerobic training on memory retention test and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars) and superoxide dismutase (sod) levels in the dorsal hippocampus of rats which were stimulated with hcy is investigated. meth...

abstract       background and objectives: diabetes induced oxidative stress plays an important role in pathological damage to the heart and liver by increased production of extracellular matrix. it is thought that the use of medicinal plants, particularly portulaca oleracea. l and regular exercise are effective. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of portulaca oleracea. l consumpt...

Introduction: Hunger and reduction in regular energy intake can lead to a number of problems based on their intensity. For instance, low energy level can cause blood cell production to decline or it may pose a higher risk of anemia. It can also weaken the immune system and platelet aggregation or negatively affect clot formation. This study aimed to have a closer look at fasting and regular phy...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are known to play an important role in the repair of damaged blood vessels. We used an endothelial progenitor cell colony-forming assay (EPC-CFA) to determine whether EPC numbers could be increased in healthy individuals through regular exercise training. The number of functional EPCs obtained from human peripheral blood-derived AC133 stem cells was measured ...

Background. The recreational use of urban spaces has increased significantly in recent years, due to a trend towards healthier lifestyles in which regular exercise plays a leading role. Examples include walking, running or biking, activities for which large urban green parks provide excellent conditions. These parks, located within the city, are intended for public use and include landscape fea...

animal studies have reported very useful properties including weight loss and improved body composition for conjugated linoleic acid (cla). however, there is limited information about the combined effect of resistance training and cla supplementation. therefore, the effect of cla supplementation and resistance training on body composition, serum leptin and muscle strength in non-athlete men was...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance, resistance and concurrent training on plasma leptin levels of male students. for this purpose, 48 male university students (mean age 21.45 years) participated in this study. subjects were randomly assigned to three exercise groups: endurance group (n=12), resistance group (n=12) and concurrent group (n=12) and a control group (n=...
