[ 1 ] - The Effect of 6 Week Resistance Training Program on Foxo1 Expression in Liver Cells and Glucose and Insulin Levels in Type 2 Diabetic Rats

  Background & objectives: Foxo1 is a transcription factor in insulin signaling in the liver. The function of Foxo1 is important in the ability of insulin to regulate hepatic glucose production and glucose homeostasis. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of resistance training program on Foxo1 expression in liver cells as well as glucose and insulin serum levels in male Wistar rat...

[ 2 ] - Effect of Eight Weeks of High Intensity Interval Training on Insulin Resistance and IRS1 Gene Expression in Gastrocnemius Muscle of Obese Wistar Rats

Background and objectives: The role of genetic components in expression of proteins involved in signaling pathways of fat and carbohydrate metabolism has been well-demonstrated. The aim of this study was to determine effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance levels as well as IRS1 expression in gastrocnemius muscle of obese Wistar rats.
