Background & Aims: There is no agreement on the protective effect of exercise on neurodegeneration processes, and the mechanisms responsible for exercise benefits in Parkinson disease (PD) yet. In this study we investigated the protective effect of 4 weeks of treadmill running with low intensity on the IGF-1, dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase levels in the striatum of parkinsonian rats ind...

The true MR signal intensity extracted from noisy MR magnitude images is biased with the Rician noise caused by noise rectification in the magnitude calculation for low intensity pixels. This noise is more problematic when a quantitative analysis is performed based on the magnitude images with low SNR(<3.0). In such cases, the received signal for both the real and imaginary components will fluc...

Rose-scented geranium (Pelargonium graveolens Lchr('39')Heritier) is an important ornamental plant that is cultivated worldwide due to its valuable medicinal properties. The present research was conducted to evaluate the effect of light intensity and UV radiation on the morphological and physiological characteristics of rose-scented geranium in 2020. The experiment was performed as split plots ...

Background: Exercise is one of the methods affecting cardiovascular adaptation, but its cellular and molecular pathways and mechanisms are unknown. T-Box Transcription Factor 5 (TBX5) gene seems to be one of the factors involved in regulating cardiac hypertrophy. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an 8-week exercise program with different intensities on the expre...

Background: Adipulin is a hormone secretd by fat cells that acts as a metabolic regulator with anti-inflammatory properties and is reduced through obesity, diabetes and inflammation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of high and moderate intensity aerobic exercise on serum adipolin levels and some indicators of metabolic syndrome in obese women. Methods: In this quasi-...
