BACKGROUND We have shown that intravenous adenosine in normal subjects does not cause bronchospasm, but causes dyspnea, most likely by an effect on vagal C fibers in the lungs [Burki et al. J Appl Physiol 2005; 98:180-5]. Since airways inflammation and bronchial hyperreactivity are features of asthma, it is possible that intravenous adenosine may be associated with an increased intensity of dys...

introduction: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrinological pathologies in women during their reproductive years with ovulatory dysfunction, abdominal obesity, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. the aim of the present research was to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (tac), total oxidant status (tos), free testosterone, ovarian morphology and estrous cy...

objective(s) several studies have reported improved response of exercised hearts to myocardial infarction (mi). this study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of treadmill exercise and diosgenin on cardiac marker enzymes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars), total antioxidant status (tas), lipids, and electrocardiographic (ecg) patterns in isoproterenol (iso)-induced myocardia...

objective(s): the purpose of this study was to investigate effects of short-term aerobic exercise on energy intake, appetite and energy-regulating hormones in free-living men and women.   materials and methods: sixteen (eight men, eight women) sedentary young normal weight subjects participated in two experimental conditions with two days apart: five days control with no exercise, and five days...

conclusions regular consumption of various fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and beans, sprouts and seeds is an effective and safe way to meet all antioxidant requirements in physically active persons and athletes. results it seems that the best recommendations regarding antioxidants and exercise are having a balanced diet rich in natural antioxidants and phytochemicals. eviden...

increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before fdg injection is a known phenomenon. we present fdg pet/ct findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla his scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. there was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing...

Objective: To study the antianaphylactic, antihistaminic and mast cell stabilization activity of Bresol (HK-07) in experimental animals. Materials and Methods: Experimental studies of Bresol (HK-07) were evaluated using Wistar rats and Duncan Hartley guinea pigs. The antianaphylactic activity of Bresol (HK-07) was investigated in rats using active anaphylaxis model. The effect of Bresol (HK-07)...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of weight loss on adipokines, asthma-related symptoms, exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) and lung function, and to evaluate the role of leptin and adiponectin levels on lung function after treatment in obese adolescents. METHODS 84 postpubertal obese adolescents were enrolled and distributed in quartiles according to weight loss (low (<2.5 kg), low to moderat...

The regional distribution of a bolus of gas inhaled at residual volume (RV) is attributed to regional airway closure and is responsible for the phase IV of the single-breath washout during the following deflation. As bronchospasm increases the range of airway opening pressures through the lung, the regional distribution of the bolus could change with effects on the shape of the single-breath wa...
