Objective: Many diabetic patients are susceptible to cardiovascular diseases which are known as one of the most important causes of mortality among diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eight weeks of resistance training on VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and CRP in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 24 male Sprague- Dawley diabetic rats were ...

background: urtica dioica has been used as antihypertensive, antihyperlipidemic and antidiabetic herbal medicine. the purpose of this study was to study the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of urtica dioica on fructose-induced insulin resistance rats. methods: forty male wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups including control, fructose, extract 50, extract 100 and extract 200. the ...

some recent studies have revealed the relationship among excess ferritin, coronary heart disease, and insulin resistance. to assess the association between serum ferritin concentration and impaired fasting glucose, this study was designed. a total of 187 people including 91 impaired fasting glucose (ifg) subjects and 96 normal glucose subjects who had been recognized in a large epidemiological ...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of two kinds of resistance training and one period of detraining on serum levels of myostatin, cortisol, testosterone and muscle strength of non-athlete men. for this purpose, 34 non-athlete men (age 33.35+2.8 yr) were divided into three groups: experimental a (4 sessions of training per week), experimental b (3 sessions of training per week) an...

diabetes is a metabolic disorder specified by hyperglycemia following a defect in insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of high-intensity interval training (hiit) on serum adiponectin levels and insulin resistance of women with type 2 diabetes. for this purpose, 35 overweight women with type 2 diabetes (age range 45-60 years, bmi 25-30 kg...

Anaerobically grown Neisseria gonorrhoeae has previously been shown to have elevated serum resistance in the absence of exogenous CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid or detectable sialylation. We hypothesized that the anaerobically induced gonococcal outer membrane protein AniA might have a role in this phenomenon, as it is the only known gonococcal protein that is absent under aerobic conditions. An N...

When NCTC clone 929 (strain L) cells were grown either continuously or at intervals in toxic human serum, they became resistant to the toxic substance or substances. The resistance developed to toxic human serum was passed from one cell generation to another; i.e., it was heritable. The resistance to toxic human serum, developed in strain L cells, was associated with a decrease in their ability...

A microtitre method was developed to screen Escherichia coli from 48 patients with ulcerative colitis and 25 controls for serum resistance. Bactericidal resistance was indicated by a change in colour of indicator due to acid production by viable organisms and quantitated by a change in absorbance. The method clearly differentiated between organisms confirmed as resistant or sensitive by convent...
