Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is considered as a risk factor for many chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The syndrome is caused by such factors as poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition, while higher muscle strength levels are associated with a lower metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the response of ...

Background: Increasing blood glucose levels is associated with a reduction in the antioxidant defense of the body. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of aerobic resistance exercises with and without ginger on some of the oxidative and antioxidant indices in type 2 diabetic women. Methods: Twenty-two type 2 diabetic women with a mean age of 49.47±4.36 years, BMI 31.3&plu...

Abstract Background: Reduction of bone density is some risk factors of falling, injury, or even death in elderly people. The purpose of the present study is investigating the effect of 12 weeks resistance training in water on bone density of elderly women. Methods: Thus 24 old women were selected after medical screening and randomly divided into two groups experimental (12 people, age 65&plusmn...

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the irreversible cell death caused by ischemia in parts of myocardium. Atrial and Brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) are known as strong markers of myocardial infarction. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of six weeks low intensity interval training on ANP and BNP genes expression in rats following myocardial infarction. Materials and m...

Background and Objectives: Serum level of C peptide is considered as one of the indicators of diabetes treatment process. In this study, simultaneous effect of aerobic exercise and Matricaria chamomilla L. flower (MFE) extract, was investigated on the serum level of C peptide in male diabetic rats.   Methods: In this experimental study, 24 male Wistar rats (weight range, 200±20g), were randoml...

Background: Apelin increases insulin insensitivity but its correlation with exercise training has less been taken in to consideration. The aim of this paper was to evaluation the effect of combined (resistance, endurance) and endurance training on plasma Apelin and in insulin sensitivity. Methods: Forty -five volunteered students of eligible (BMI: 25-30,Health and inactive) were randomly div...
