Objective: The recent study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic aerobic activity on the plasma levels of orexin A, leptin, glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance in males with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects randomly assigned into control and experimental groups, involving 10 people in each group. Exercise protocol consisted of eight session aerobic exercise...

The action of droperidol on cardiac vagal efferents was studied in anaesthetized dogs. Droperidol in cumulative doses (0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg kg-1 i.v.) inhibited cardiac vagal discharge, shifted pressure-response curves to lower activities, increased heart rate, and decreased arterial pressure slightly. The effects on vagal discharge and heart rate reached their maxima at 0.25 mg kg-1 as a fur...

This study evaluated the accuracy of heart rate calibrated from a maximum exercise test for predicting energy expenditure during five activities of daily living (ADL) in participants with spinal cord injury (SCI). Thirteen individuals with SCI underwent maximum exercise testing, followed by portable heart rate and metabolic testing during five ADL. A regression equation was developed from heart...

background: to establish a balance between work (physical exercise) and human, the aerobic capacity (vo2max) could be used as a measure. assessing heart rate in association to physiological symptoms is the most commonly used tools for the assessment of fatigue during physical exercise. this study aimed to investigate the association between the aerobic capacity and the heart rate of workers fro...

introduction: the bed nucleus stria terminalis (bst) is a part of the limbic system. it was recently shown that chemical stimulation of the bst by l-glutamate elicited cardiovascular depressive responses. in the present study, we have investigated the possible cardiovascular role of the gabaergic receptors in bst by microinjection of its agonist and antagonists. methods: experiments were perfor...
