Age-related reductions in basal limb blood flow and vascular conductance are associated with the metabolic syndrome, functional impairments, and osteoporosis. We tested the hypothesis that a strength training program would increase basal femoral blood flow in aging adults. Twenty-six sedentary but healthy middle-aged and older subjects were randomly assigned to either a whole body strength trai...

history & aims:new studies show that vaspin,chemerin and visfatin are correlated with overweight and obesity, but the effects of training, aren’t clearly recognized. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of endurance and combined exercise training on these plasma adipokines, gh and lipid profile among overweight females. for this propose, 45 female student volunteers were selected (wh...

the present study intended to compare two types of aerobic training on serum levels of resistin and insulin resistance in type-2 diabetic women. 24 middle-aged type-2 diabetic women (mean age 41.8±3.45 yr, weight 76.8±3.61 kg, bmi 31.1±1.02 kg/m2, body fat percentage 41.6±1.38 and whr 0.94±0.05) were purposively selected and then randomly assigned to three groups: highly-intensity interval trai...

The adrenal glomerulosa cell and the renal vasculature respond to similar arterial angiotensin II (A II) levels. We have assessed the effect of decreased sodium intake on their responses to A II in man. Studies were performed in 42 normal subjects in balance on a daily intake of 100 meq potassium and either 200 or 10 meq sodium/day. Renal blood flow was measured with (133)Xe and arterial A II, ...

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a low-intensity resistance training program combined with partial blow flow restriction (BFR training) in a cohort of patients with polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM). METHODS In total, 13 patients with PM and DM completed a 12-week twice a week low-intensity (that is, 30% one-repetition-maximum (1RM)) resistance exercise...
