purpose lipocalin-2 (lcn2), a newer adipocyte-secreted acute phase protein, was recently reported to be correlated with potential effects on obesity and inflammation. the reaction of this protein to progressive exercise has not been evaluated yet. this study was designed to compare the serum lcn2 and high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels after participating in an acute bout of tre...

We found that resistance and endurance exercise modalities lead to different endothelial function responses after a single bout of exercise. Endothelial increased an acute exercise, whereas it decreased Four weeks chronic training did not affect the response.

objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gender on plasma myostatin at rest and in response to acute resistance exercise in elderly men and women. methods & materials: 12 healthy older men (age=69±1.23 and bmi=23±0.3 kg/m2) and 12 healthy older women (age=68±2.14 and bmi=23±0.4 kg/m2) volunteered for participation in this study. 72hours after the determination of musc...

PURPOSE Aerobic exercise is recommended as a way to prevent hypertension. However, about 25% of individuals receive minimal antihypertensive benefits associated with chronic exercise training. Thus, we attempt to identify those "nonresponders" to chronic exercise on the basis of their blood pressure (BP) responses to acute exercise (single session). Our primary objective was to correlate the ma...

This study aimed to clarify the effects of acute exercise and cardiovascular fitness on cognitive function using the Stroop test and event-related desynchronization (ERD) in an aged population. Old adults (63.10 ± 2.89 years) were first assigned to either a high-fitness or a low-fitness group, and they were then subjected to an acute exercise treatment and a reading control treatment in a count...

Acute exercise is known to activate the immune system and thus could lead to increased human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication. We sought to determine whether a single acute bout of exercise, similar to what people experience when starting an intensive exercise program, has a detrimental effect on plasma HIV RNA levels. Twenty-five patients with HIV infection performed one 15-min bout of...

the purpose of this study was to examine serum selenium (se), lipoproteins and testosterone responses to a single session of circuit resistance exercise. fourteen male college students volunteered in the present study. blood samples were taken at 30minutes before, immediately after 25 and 60minutes of single session of circuit resistance exercise (10 exercise, 20s for each exercise, and at 60%1...

the aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of two resistance exercise protocols with slow and fast movements on some anabolic and catabolic hormones. hence, in a randomized crossover design, 10 young men (age: 23.3±1.76 yr) were divided into 3 groups: control (con), resistance exercise with slow movement (sm), and resistance exercise with fast movement (fm). subjects performed 6...
