although it is well established that women are more likely to sustain certain connective tissue injuries than men during physical activities, this difference between males and females is not clear. gelatinases degrade components of tendon tissue. thus, in this research, the effects of gender on serum gelatinases (mmp-2 and mmp-9) at rest and in response to acute endurance exercise were investig...

background: heavy exercise cause muscle damage associated with production of inflammatory agents. the purpose of present study was to determine the effect of acute and 14-day coenzyme q10 supplementation on inflammatory, blood lactate and muscle damage in male middle-distance runners.   methods : eighteen male middle-distance runners in a randomized and quasi experimental study were allocated i...

introduction: obesity and visceral fat accumulation after menopause are associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. we investigated the interactive effect of aerobic-resistance training and estrogen replacement therapy on visceral fat, omentin-1 and homa-ir in ovariectomized rats. materials and methods: fifty female wistar rats were ovariectomized (ovx) and divided into 5 gr...

It has been suggested that obese individuals have a blunted growth hormone (GH) response to spontaneous and stimulated GH secretion. The present study was designed to examine the effects of a high-volume, whole body acute resistance exercise (RE) protocol on immunoreactive GH (iGH), bioactive GH (bGH), and GH-binding protein (GHBP) in sedentary lean and obese men. Nine obese (mean ± SD: 20.8 ± ...

Lacey, K. A., Hewison, A., and Parlin, J. M. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48,508. Exercise as a screening test for growth hormone deficiency in children. The serum growth hormone response to exercise has been evaluated in 98 children with short stature. In 65 children growth hormone deficiency was excluded by a single postexercise level of more than 20 mIU/ml. The test is simple an...

Quantum-dot cellular automata, is an extremely small size and a powerless nanotechnology. It is the possible alternative to current CMOS technology. Reversible QCA logic is the most important issue at present time to reduce power losses. This paper presents a novel reversible logic gate called the F-Gate. It is simplest in design and a powerful technique to implement reversible logic. A systema...

To examine the effects of elk velvet antler supplementation (EVA) combined with training on resting and exercise-stimulated hormonal response, male (n = 25) and female (n = 21) rowers ingested either EVA (560 mg/d) or placebo (PL) during 10 wk of training. VO(2max), 2000 m rowing time, leg and bench press strength were determined before and after 5 and 10 wk of training. Serum hormone levels we...
