Radioadaptive survival responses after relatively low doses of radiation were investigated in C57BL/6 mice. The 8-week-old mice received whole-body mid-lethal challenging irradiation (5.9 Gy) at various intervals after conditioning whole-body irradiation with 50-400 mGy. Thereafter, survival of the mice was observed for 30 days. The mice receiving 400 mGy at 6 h before the challenging dose had ...

Ibuprofen is an effective, cheap, and frequently used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The present study investigated the doseand time-dependent effects of ibuprofen on hepatic, renal, and hematological functions in rats. Groups of rats (n=6) were given ibuprofen (20, 40 mgkg -1 day -1 ) for 7, 14 or 28 days; or vehicle (control), orally. Blood samples were obtained, and hematological indi...

Objective: To determine the retention of flexibility 25 days after 5 days of three 30second stretches. Design: A 2 x 4 repeated-measures factorial. Treatment and time were independent variables. The dependent variable was flexibility as measured by a sit-and-reach box. Measurements: 33 college students were tested before and after stretching for 5 consecutive days and without stretching on days...

chronic inflammation is an integral part of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure was found to be associated with endothelial dysfunction. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of endurance training and galbanum supplement on parameters related to vascular function includes endothelial selectin(e-selectin) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ace-i) as inflammatory fa...

heart produces and secretes a hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide. the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance and sprint training on anp of non-athlete men. 36 non-athlete healthy men were randomly divided into three groups (12 subjects each group): resistance (mean age ± sd: 33.1±2.9 years), sprint (mean age ± sd:  32.1±2.5 years) and control (mea...

introduction : supplementation with minerals like calcium has been shown to be effective in preventing bone loss and increasing bone density. thus, it can be assumed that if calcium supplementation is paired with bisphosphonates, greater benefit can be achieved. in this context, we decided to perform this animal study on ovariectomized rats to assess whether bisphosphonate supplemented with cal...

Res. 19(1):27–32. 2005.—This study compares the effects of 3 common stretching techniques on the length of the hamstring muscle group during a 4-week training program. Subjects were 19 young adults betw...

n present study, the effects of curcumin supplementation on oxidative stress and antioxidant defense system in heart tissue adult rats were investigated. Sixteen (8-weeks-old) selected divided into two groups. The first group is experimental these (n=8) gavaged with curcumin, dissolved corn oil, at a dose 300 mg/kg per day for 28 days. second control group, this given equal amount oil to elimin...
