this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...

Background: The purpose of this study is to the comparison of the effect of 12 weeks of sprint training and concurrent aerobic and strength training on high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and insulin resistance in women with diabetes mellitus (T2DM) Methods: 52 overweight female type 2 diabetic patients (age; 4...

Background: Inflammation plays an essential role in the insulin resistance process, and chemokines, such as chemerin, seem to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and caloric restriction on chemerin levels and insulin resistance index in women with type 2 diabetes. Methods: In a quasi-experimental st...

Background: Visfatin is an adipokine secreted from visceral adipose tissue and involved in glucose homeostasis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight-week resistance training on plasma visfatin levels and its relation to insulin resistance in insulin-resistant male rats. Methods: In this experimental study twenty-four Wistar male rats­ (220±20 gr) were acclimati...

Introduction: Changes in plasma adipicin and inflammatory parameters in type 2 diabetes are due to obesity and directly related to the condition of diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of High intensity interval training (HIIT) on the ratio of adiponectin to leptin and C-reactive protein (CRP) in type 2 diabetic rats.   Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, ...

Background and Objectives: Diabetic patients are highly susceptible to cardiovascular involvement. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of six weeks of moderate-intensity endurance training on serum levels of Klotho and expression of the fibroblast-23 growth factor (FGF23) gene in the hearts of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 21 ...

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is considered as a risk factor for many chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The syndrome is caused by such factors as poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition, while higher muscle strength levels are associated with a lower metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the response of ...

 Background & Objective:  Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of combined training (aerobic-resistance) on serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins 3 (IGFBP-3) in men with prostate cancer.  Materials & Methods:  20 eligible men with prostate cancer with an average age...
