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...

This study tested whether ischemic exercise training (Tr(IS+EX)) would increase endurance of ischemic (Ex(IS)) and ramp exercise (Ex(RA)) knee-extension tests more than exercise training (Tr(EX)) alone. Ten healthy subjects performed pre- and posttraining tests with each leg. For Ex(RA), after subjects warmed up, a weight was added each minute until they were exhausted. Ex(IS) was similar, but ...

Organic matter is essential in improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils. Thus, organic widely considered a crucial indicator environmental quality biodiversity. In this study, effect gyttja addition as soil conditioner on some physical soils formed volcanic serpentine parent materials was investigated. The layout incubation study randomized plots with 3 replications l...

solution potassium (so-k) and exchangeable k (ex-k) extracted by nh4oac are the major sources of potassium used by plants, but initially non-exchangeable k (nex-k) can also contribute significantly to plant uptake. perennial ryegrass (lolium perenne, cv. roper) was successively planted in ten surface soil samples with different clay mineralogical composition belonging to five soil types to dete...

We examined the effect of exercise training (Ex) without (Ex 0%) or with a 3% workload (Ex 3%) on different cardiac and renal parameters in renovascular hypertensive (2K1C) male Fisher rats weighing 150-200 g. Ex was performed for 5 weeks, 1 h/day, 5 days/week. Ex 0% or Ex 3% induced similar attenuation of baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP, 119 ± 5 mmHg in 2K1C Ex 0%, N = 6, and 118 ± 5 mmHg...

BACKGROUND We assessed the renal protective effects of treatment with moderate exercise (EX), with EX plus olmesartan (OLS), with EX plus azelnidipine (AZN), and with the three together in a rat model of chronic renal failure (CRF). METHODS Male 5/6-nephrectomized Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats were divided into six groups according to the following treatments for: (i) no EX (C); (ii) moderate EX wi...
