RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 204 type 2 DM patients attending an out-patient diabetic clinic underwent abdominal sonography. Ninty of 12...

Effects of combined therapy with resveratrol, continuous and interval exercises on apoptosis and lipid profiles in the liver of rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver disorders. In this study, effect of resveratrol supplementation alone or in combination with interval and continuous exercises was considered on hepatic cells apoptosis and serum lipid profiles in rats with NAFLD.
