despite the preventative and therapeutic effects of regular exercise, exhaustive exercise may be harmful to health. the present study aimed to determine the protective effect of endurance training and cinnamon bark extract (cbe) supplementation on oxidative responses induced by an exhaustive exercise schedule in rats. the rats were randomly divided into the following five groups of 6; control s...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present randomized controlled trial was to compare the outcome of 2 active treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a consequence of war and torture: narrative exposure therapy (NET) and stress inoculation training (SIT). METHODS Twenty-eight PTSD patients who had experienced war and torture, most of them asylum seekers, received 10 treatment sessions o...

Background: Psychiatric Nurses tolerate high levels of occupational stress. So stress management programs should be developed to prevent those effects on nurses. Aim: to determine the effect of SIP on nurses’ perceived stress in psychiatric wards. Method: In this randomized clinical trial 60 nurses and healthcare workers, working in Ebne-Sina Psychiatric Hospital were enrolled. They were random...

introduction: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exercise training and l-arginine supplementation on oxidative stress and systolic ventricular function in rats with myocardial infarction (mi). methods: four weeks after the surgically-induced mi, 40 male wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following 4 groups (n=10): mi-sedentary control (sed) mi-exercise (ex) mi-sed...

Salt and osmotic stress seriously restrict the growth, development, productivity of horticultural crops in greenhouse. The papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) participate multi-stress responses plants. We previously demonstrated that salt affect protease 15 pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) (CaCP15); however, role CaCP15 is unknown. Here, function regulating resistance was explored. Pepper plants ...

Climate change prediction indicates an increased likelihood of precipitation variability and droughts in the Mediterranean region. Previous studies demonstrated that microbial symbionts combined with supplementary irrigation could mitigate climate effects boost chickpea production low-fertility soils. The aim study was to assess inoculation a consortium plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGP...

In this study effect of irrigation managements including irrigation after 100 and 200 mm pan evaporation as normal and deficit irrigation respectively was investigated in Roselle plants. Effects of humic acid (including 0 and 4 kg ha-1) and mycorrhizal inoculants (including Glomus versiforme (GV) and Rhizophagus irregularis (RI)) were also studied on growth, yield and mycorrhizal symbiosis inde...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate (DSE) were simultaneously colonized in the root cells of maize. Single AMF DSE symbiosis have been proven to improve drought tolerance However, effects both coexisting maize roots under stress are not yet known. In this study, pot experiments seedlings conducted through four inoculation treatments (single Rhizophagus irregularis, single Exophi...

background: incidence of asthma in adolescents leads to variations in family status, roles and interaction with peers for them, which could be a source of stress and psychological tensions in them. therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of orem’s self-care model on perceived stress in adolescents with asthma. methods: in this semi-experimental study conducted from ...
