Fatigue severity scales (FSS), fatigue VAS, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), hospital score (HADS), Beck inventory (BDI)-II, Short form 12 (SF-12), BDNF both groups were assessed at five-time points: one week before (T1), middle (T2), last days (T3), after (T4) two weeks (T5).
 Results: We found no significant differences across time points between FG NFG all variables (p>0.05). There is a correlation VAS with levels (r > r table), SF-12 PCS (r>r table) BDNF, MCS table). intensity, QoL, BDI-II, calories, < table).
 Conclusions: has positive effects mood. does not have exercise, calories consumed. can replace BDNF.
