introduction: fasting during ramadan is a religious obligation for healthy adult muslims. this study aimed to investigate the effects of ramadan fasting and physical activity on blood hematological and biochemical parameters in male and female subjects. methods: in this study, 50 healthy subjects were randomly assigned to four groups: male control fasting (mcf) group (n=13), male training fasti...

purpose to find out the effect of training on selected physiological and biochemical variables of indian soccer players of different age groups. methods a total of 120 soccer players volunteered for the study, were divided (n = 30) into 4 groups: (i) under 16 years (u16), (ii) under 19 years (u19), (iii) under 23 years (u23), (iv) senior (sr). the training sessions were divided into 2 phases (a...

the aim of the study was to explore the mechanisms underlying the association of birth weight with later body mass index (bmi) from the biochemical markers related to metabolism and the apa i polymorphism in igf-ii gene.a total of 300 children were selected randomly from the macrosomia birth cohort in wuxi, china. the height and weight were measured and blood samples were collected. plasma conc...

Temperature profoundly influences physiological responses in animals, primarily due to the effects on biochemical reaction rates. Since physiological responses are often exemplified by their rate dependency (e.g., rate of blood flow, rate of metabolism, rate of heat production, and rate of ion pumping), the study of temperature adaptations has a long history in comparative and evolutionary phys...

The effects of orally administered Cassia sieberiana stem bark aqueous extract on serum biochemical parameters and histopathology of the liver of rats has been investigated. The result of the biochemical analysis showed that the extract caused significant (P<0.05) increase in AST, ALT, ALP, at 400 and 800 mg/kg body weight by Day 14 and 21 of the experimentation period. Significant (P<0.05) dec...
