Objective: ABCG8 plays a crucial role in the reverse transfer of cholesterol from macrophages to the liver. The herbal compliments and regular physical improve the lipid profile and metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eight weeks aerobic exercise and green tea on the ABCG8 gene expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and the atherogenic ratio ...

Recent research involving human and animals has shown that aerobic exercise of moderate intensity produces the greatest benefit on brain health and behavior. In this study we investigated the effects on cognitive function and anxiety-related behavior in rats at different ages of aerobic exercise, performed regularly throughout life. We designed an aerobic training program with the treadmill run...

There are 3 distinct yet closely integrated processes that operate together to satisfy the energy requirements of muscle. The anaerobic energy system is divided into alactic and lactic components, referring to the processes involved in the splitting of the stored phosphagens, ATP and phosphocreatine (PCr), and the nonaerobic breakdown of carbohydrate to lactic acid through glycolysis. The aerob...

Failure to demonstrate that memory improvement is due either to aerobic exercise or increased hippocampal volume We read with interest the article in PNAS, " Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory " by Erickson et al. (1). It is a noteworthy finding that over a 1-y period anterior hippocampal volume increased by 2% in the aerobic exercise group, whereas it decreased...

The impact of music and its psychological and physiological changes during exercise is issue that has always been focused on sport science experts. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of musical exercise on aerobic capacity and quality of life in elderly men. This study was conducted on 45 elderly men. The participants were randomly allocated into three groups: aerobic musical exer...

Physical exercise enhances prefrontal cortex activity and improves working memory performance in healthy older adults, but it is not clear whether this remains the case in post-stroke patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the acute effect of physical exercise on prefrontal cortex activity in post-stroke patients using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). We studied 11 post-str...
