Introdution: According to importance of complimentary therapies. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a four-week aerobic physical activities in water on the extent of clinical improvement and amount of Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, TNF-α, Interleukin 10, IL-10 on serum levels and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the brain tissue of the animal model of of multiple sclerosis ...

  Background and Objectives: β-tubulin protein is the protein that has a key role in plasticity and neurogenesis in the mature neurons. On the other hand, endurance training is effective in neuron life and lifespan. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of 20 days swimming training on class III β-tubulin and the number of ganglion cells in DRG of Wistar male rats. Materials and Me...

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

in this research we have studied the effect of some transition-metals (cu, ag and au) substitutions on two-electron reduction potential of flavins by application of dft method. all geometries have been optimized at blyp level of theory and “6-31+g** + lanl2dz” mixed basis set. the frequency job at the same method and basis sets has been performed to obtain gibbs free energy of compounds. it h...

Background: Obesity is associated with increased risk of many diseases. Methylation is an important factor in obesity, indicating epigenetic changes. However, there is lack of data about PGC-1α methylation and regular exercise. Purpose of this study was to determine effects of 6-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on PGC-1α methylation in gastrocnemius muscle of obese male rats. Metho...

Aims: One of the causes of infertility in men is the azoospermia disease, which is attributed to the lack of sperm in each sperm. The primary function of spermatogenesis is the maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation of spermatogonial cells. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the changes in Promyelocytic Leukemia Zinc Finger (PLZF) and spermatid Transition Nuclear Protein (TNP...

there are two major theories of measurement in psychometrics: classical test theory (ctt) and item-response theory (irt). despite its widespread and long use, ctt has a number of shortcomings, which make it problematic to be used for practical and theoretical purposes. irt tries to solve these shortcomings, and provide better and more dependable answers. one of the applications of irt is the as...

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Introduction: Primary stress can impair the nervous structure including the hippocampus and behavioral functions such as memory; therefore, paying attention to neutralizing the destructive effects of stress on the body has been one of the debatable topics among researchers. Considering the role of physical activity in reducing stress in previous studies, this study aimed to investigate the effe...
