The aim of the research was to establish differences between the HR values and maximal blood lactate concentration assessed during the performance of a step aerobics programme at three different heights of step bench. The sample consisted of 12 female aerobics instructors, aged between 20 and 28. The subjects executed a pre-defined choreography uninterruptedly for 30 minutes on a step bench, wh...

in vitro lymphocyte responses of high responder (hr) and low responder (lr) guinea pigs from pe-ripheral blood lymphocytes (pbl) to parasite antigens soluble protein third stage larvae (spl3) and soluble protein adult stage ( spa), non-parasite antigen ovalbumin (ova) were examined. there was substantial differences between hr and lr guinea pigs in the rate of acquisition of responsiveness to t...

The aim of this studywas toinvestigate the effect ofrunning classification (sprint, middle, and long distance)and two distances on blood lactate (BLa), heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) Borg scale ratings in collegiate athletes. On different days, runners (n = 15) ran 400m and 1600m at a five min mile pace, followed by a two min 6mph jog, and a two min 3mph walk as part of...

Cellular energy substrates and metabolites, electrolytes, oxygenation, and acid-base balance, in arterial and coronary sinus blood of seven adult patients who died after valvular replacements, were studied and compared with these measurements from five patients having aortic replacement who survived. Six of the patients were in New York Heart Association class IV. All but one died within 24 hr ...

the relationship between blood physiological attributes and carcass characteristics wasstudied in 40 randomly selected 8-month-old ram lambs of ghezel and mehraban (20 rams per breed)sheep. one day before slaughter, blood samples were obtained after a 24 hr fast. serum samples wereassayed for glucose, cholesterol, serum urea nitrogen (sun), total protein, albumin, triglycerides,creatinine, and ...

The objective of this study was to identify the initial value of blood lactate that best correlates with 28-day mortality in resuscitated septic shock patients. This was a retrospective cohort study including 443 patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with severe sepsis or septic shock from the emergency department. A receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to obtain ...

Salbutamol has potential for use as a repartioning agent in swine. The aims of this experiment were to determine effects of salbutamol on behavior and physiology of finishing pigs. The study used 192 pigs (88.8 +/- 0.9 kg of BW) housed in groups of 6 in 32 pens and assigned to 1 of 4 treatments: 1) control-0 mg/kg of salbutamol, 2) 2R--control diet with 2 mg/kg of the pure R-enantiomer of salbu...

Analyses of nucleotides and glycolytic intermediates were performed on perchlorate extracts of blood and quick-frozen brain from rats nephrectomized 48 hr previously, and from rats infused for 6 hr with adenosine or AMP. Blood nucleotides of acutely uremic rats were normal. Uremic brain showed an increase of creatine phosphate (CP), ATP, and glucose with a corresponding decrease in creatine, AD...

This study verifies the acute dose response effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) by light emitting diodes (LEDs) on hemodynamic and metabolic responses in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thirteen participants T2DM (age 52 ± 7 years) received PBM a light-emitting diode array (50 GaAIAs LEDs, 850 20 nm, 75 mW per diode) rectus oblique abdomen, quadriceps femoris, triceps surae, ha...
