The effect of elevated level of SO2+NO2 on some physiological and biochemical parameters of Glycine max were examined. Twelve days olds Soybean (Glycine max) seedling were exposed to two different (2% and 3%) levels of SO2+NO2 mixture. Fumigants were applied for 30 minutes per day, 3 days per week for 3 weeks duration. Aeration with enriched SO2+NO2 air resulted in higher phenolic content as co...

introduction: obesity and visceral fat accumulation after menopause are associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. we investigated the interactive effect of aerobic-resistance training and estrogen replacement therapy on visceral fat, omentin-1 and homa-ir in ovariectomized rats. materials and methods: fifty female wistar rats were ovariectomized (ovx) and divided into 5 gr...

BACKGROUND In adults, a minimum of 3-5 days of accelerometer monitoring is usually considered appropriate to obtain reliable estimates of physical activity (PA). However, a longer period of measurement might be needed to obtain reliable estimates of sedentary behavior (SED). The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of objectively assessed SED and PA in adults. METHODS Eighty-sev...

This paper presents a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm for solving a labor scheduling problem with several realistic days-off scheduling constraints and a cost structure that depends on the work sequence for each employee. The days-off scheduling constraints include the following: (1) each employee is assigned no more than three workdays per week, (2) each employee is assigned at least two co...

the most important physiological role of apelin as a novel adipokine is co- relation with insulin hormone. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks combined training on plasma apelin and insulin resistance index in overweight females. therefore, 40 non athlete and over weight female students (bmi, 25-30), were selected and divided randomly in two experimental and control...

liquid paraffin has been suggested as a good laxative comparing to lactulose as a treatment option in pediatric constipation. this study was performed to compare liquid paraffin with lactulose in pediatric constipation. a total of 247 patients (127 males and 120 females) aged 2-12 years (mean 4.1 ± 2.7 years) with chronic functional constipation were included in an 8 week, randomized, controlle...

Purpose: Determine if three weeks of HIT (high-intensity interval training) improves fasting insulin sensitivity in healthy males. Methods: Participants were recreationally active ( ≥ 10 hours per week) men between 18 and 35 years of age (Ht: 180 ± 1.44 cm; Wt: 85 ± 2.95 kg; BMI: 26.1 ± 0.59 kg/m2; body fat: 19.7 ± 1.76%). HIT training occurred 3 days weekly for 3 weeks, at intensities equivale...

In patients on maintenance dialysis, hyperphosphatemia is a risk factor for mortality and hospitalization. Tenapanor an investigational, first-in-class, phosphate absorption inhibitor, providing novel, non-binder approach to treating hyperphosphatemia. The PHREEDOM study was long-term Phase 3 trial evaluating the safety efficacy of tenapanor treat in dialysis (hemo- or peritoneal dialysis). Thi...
