the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan as immune stimulator on some hematological parameters and stress resistance in rainbow trout. nine hundred rainbow trout (with initial body weight of 25 ± 0.1 g) were obtained from a local farm and acclimated to the laboratory conditions for one week. after that fish were randomly divided into four groups in three replicates. each gro...

abiotic stress such as cold and drought has adverse effects on plants growth and development. abiotic stress resistance is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. this goal can be achieved through transcription factor gene transfer to plants. recent studies show many successes in improving abiotic stress resistance by use of transcription factor gene transfer. the objective of the re...

abstract background and objective: it has been shown that oxidative stress increases in diabetes and it has an important role in its development and subsequent complications. thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute resistance exercise on oxidative stress in skeletal muscle and cardiac tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: twenty male ...

background: non-ulcer dyspepsia (nud) is one of the common gastrointestinal disorders considered as a psychosomatic disorder. the effectiveness of psychological intervention in improving symptoms of this disease remains unclear. the objective of this study was to assess the effects of add-on stress management training on symptoms of nud. materials andmethods: in a randomized clinical trial, 28 ...

resistance exercise is associated with increased oxidative stress. however, it is not completely obvious how resistance training intensity can affect the rest levels of oxidative stress indexes. therefore, the aim of the present research was to study the effect of moderate resistance (mr) and high resistance (hr) training on oxidative stress. 20 males (age: 20.6±0.7 yr, height: 1.74±0.06 m, wei...

conclusions our new metabolic conditioning supplement, whether given pre- or postoperatively, led to better perioperative glycemic control and decreased postsurgical wound infections in non-diabetic patients. objectives the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a new conditioning supplement on perioperative metabolic stress and clinical outcomes in non-diabetic patients. patient...

background: diabetes mellitus (dm) is closely associated with reduction of antioxidant defense system. in the present study, we investigated the antioxidant effect of quercetin supplementation on the glycemic control, lipid profile and oxidative stress indices in patients with type 2diabetes. methods: forty seven patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 30-60 years old, were randomly assigned to sup...

this paper highlights the effect of silt content on cone tip resistance in loose silty sand. in this study, twenty-seven cone penetration tests are performed in saturated silty sand samples with several different silt contents ranging from 10 to 50 percent. the samples are consolidated at three overburden stresses including 100, 200 and 300 kpa. it is shown that, as the silt content increases, ...
