Abstract:

Introduction: Impairment in the endothelial function starts with aging; however, it can be reduced or prevented by regular exercise. This study aimed to investigate the response and compatibility of endothelial progenitor cells and to evaluate the gene expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) after eight weeks of resistance training in the elderly. Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 24 elderly men were randomly divided into equal experimental and control groups. Blood samples were collected in four stages, that is, before and after one session of resistance training (chest press, calf press, squats, leg curls, leg extensions, and underhand cable pushdowns) and before and after eight weeks of resistance training (bicep, tricep, quadricep, calf, chest, shoulder, and abdomen exercises). The samples were examined for the expression of HIF-1 and VEGF genes, and a flow cytometric analysis of endothelial progenitor cells from the mononuclear cell population of blood tissue was carried out. A mixed-design repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used in SPSS (P<0.05) to investigate the differences between the groups. Results: The number of endothelial progenitor cells in the pretest and the first posttest increased in the experimental group, compared to the control group. Also, the gene expression of HIF-1 in the experimental group increased compared to the control group in the first posttest, pretest, and second posttest. As well as, the expression of VEGF gene increased in the experimental group in comparison with the control group in the first posttest, pretest, and second posttest. Conclusion: The present findings suggested that resistance training could be effective in the repair and regeneration of arteries after injuries, especially in the elderly.

Effect of 8-week resistance training on HIF-1α gene expression and Endothelial Progenitor Cells recall of blood after one session of resistance activity in elderly men

Abstract Background and Objectives Dysfunction of endothelial cells is associated with the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Adult endothelial progenitor cells are derived from hematopoietic stem cells capable of forming new blood vessels through a process of angiogenesis. This study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on HIF-1α gene expression and rec...

The Effect of Combining Resistance Training and Endothelial Progenitor Cell Injection on the Expression of Angiogenic Factors In Diabetic Male Rats Induced By Stz

Background: Angiogenesis disorders are known mechanisms of diabetes. With the aim of reducing angiogenesis disorders, resistance training and its combination with endothelial progenitor cell injection are new strategies. Therefore, the present study was performed to determine the effect of resistance training with endothelial progenitor cell injection on the expression of angiogenic factors in ...

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...
