objective: elevated amino acid homocysteine (hcy) levels and insufficient physical activity are the risk factors in alzheimer disease (ad) development. the effect of intermittent aerobic training on memory retention test and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars) and superoxide dismutase (sod) levels in the dorsal hippocampus of rats which were stimulated with hcy is investigated. meth...

background and aims: post exercise proteinuria and increased urinary gamma-glutamyl transferase (ggt) levels can be indicative of exercise-induced renal damage. the aim of this investigation was to study the effect of one session of intensive training on renal tubular injury markers and compare their values to those 6 hours after training, for evaluating tubular damage after intensive training....
