the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an acute bout of exhaustive resistance exercise on the expression of myogenesis modulators (myostatin (mstn) and myod) in male trained and untrained wistar rats’ fast and slow muscles. thirty rats were assigned to three groups: control (n=6), untrained (n=12) and trained (n=12). resistance exercise (weight lifting up a vertical ladder) was...

rust diseases continue to cause significant losses to wheat production around the world. among them, yellow rust caused by puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is an important disease that threatens wheat production in most cool environments. host resistance, especially race- nonspecific resistance, is the most economical way to manage wheat stripe rust disease. in this study, the effectiveness ...

recently, the role of myostatin (mstn) in controlling insulin resistance (ir( has been known. the aim of this study was to determine acute and delayed response of mstn and ir to circuit resistance exercise. for this purpose, 12 healthy men volunteered and participated in 2 sessions of the resistance exercise and control with one-week interval. after a session to instruct how to perform resistan...

background: parkinson's disease as a progressive disorder of the nervous system leads to the disability of postural control system. objectives: in the present study the effects of pilates exercises on functional balance in patients with parkinson's was investigated. materials and methods: this control trial included 30 patients with idiopathic parkinson's disease who were selecte...

Advanced systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a rare myeloid neoplasm characterized by uncontrolled accumulation of neoplastic mast cells (MCs) in various organs with consecutive impairment of organ function, drug resistance, and a poor prognosis. Advanced SM may present as smoldering or slowly progressing neoplasm but may also present as rapidly progressing aggressive SM or even as MC leukemia. Appro...

Ingestion of whey hydrolysate, casein, or soy protein isolate: effects on mixed muscle protein synthesis at rest and following resistance exercise in young men. J Appl Physiol 107: 987–992, 2009. First published July 9, 2009; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00076.2009.— This study was designed to compare the acute response of mixed muscle pro...

When a fraction of the light reflected by an external cavity re-enters the laser cavity, both the amplitude and the frequency of the lasing field can be modulated. This phenomenon is called the self-mixing effect (SME). A self-mixing laser diode (SM-LD) is a sensor using the SME. Usually, such LDs operate below the stability boundary where no relaxation oscillation happens. The boundary is dete...

BACKGROUND Slow-motion training, an exercise marked by extremely slow movements, yields a training effect like that of a highly intense training, even when the applied load is small. This study evaluated the effects of low-intensity bodyweight training with slow movement on motor function in frail, elderly patients. METHODS Ninety-seven elderly men and women aged 65 years or older, whose leve...
