Regular moderate exercise has been suggested to exert anti-inflammatory effects and improve immune effector functions, resulting in reduced disease incidence and viral infection susceptibility. Whether regular exercise also affects bacterial infection susceptibility is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether regular voluntary exercise wheel running prior to a pulmonary infecti...

reelin is an extracellular matrix neuroprotein which plays important roles during development and maturation of cerebellum. in the postnatal cerebellum, reelin is synthesized by cerebellar granule cells and secreted to extracellular matrix. this secreted protein modulates adult synaptic function, neurotransmitter release and regulates plasticity. exercise has beneficial effects on central nervo...

there are many reasons for decrease of the functional activity of the brain like aging of the neurons, bacterial diseases and neuro inflammations. nowadays, the effects of exercise on physical and mental health have been proven but its effects on motor functions as well as neuro inflammation is an issue that has recently been studding. neuro inflammation is a mechanism that can be caused by bac...

Objective(s): The protective effect of regular running on sleep deprivation (SD)-induced cognitive impairment has been revealed. In this study, we focused on the effects of regular exercise, sleep deprivation and both of them together on the microRNA-1b (miR-1b) expression and their relation to the behavioral parameters and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expr...

introduction: increased levels of certain markers like fibrinogen and homocysteine are independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. considering the numerous favorable effects of healthful nutrition and physical activity on reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, in this study we intend to take into account fasting and physical activity during the month of ramadan an...

Exercise is an often overlooked but highly valuable non pharmacological treatment for patients with chronic stable angina. Regular exercise is associated with several cardioprotective effects, including improving endothelial function and reducing systemic inflammation. In addition, regular exercise leads to better control of major coronary risk factors. On a symptomatic level, exercise training...

This paper investigates whether engaging in regular exercise leads to higher earnings in the labor market. While there has been a recent surge of interest by economists on the issue of obesity, relatively little attention has been given to the economic effects of regular physical activity apart from its impact on body composition. I find that engaging in regular exercise yields a six to ten per...

BACKGROUND Regular exercise is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular risk, but the precise mechanisms responsible are unknown. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between regular exercise, aortic stiffness, and wave reflections, and to determine whether this relationship differs by age. METHODS Younger (<30 years) and older (>50 years) individuals, who were ei...

introduction: exercise training increases skeletal muscle capillary density, but the molecular mechanisms of this process are not yet clear. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of acute long- term submaximal exercise on serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) as the main angiogenic factor, and matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 ( mmp-2 and mmp-9), as the degrading ...

The authors evaluated the effect of regular exercise during the first 36 months after cancer diagnosis on quality of life (QOL) in a population-based cohort study of 1,829 Chinese women diagnosed with breast cancer. The women were identified between 2002 and 2004 and were invited to participate in the study about 6 months after cancer diagnosis. Exercise was assessed approximately 6, 18, and 36...
