Metabolic rates of aquatic organisms are estimated from measurements of oxygen consumption rates ( ) through swimming and resting respirometry. These distinct approaches are increasingly used in ecophysiology and conservation physiology studies; however, few studies have tested whether they yield comparable results. We examined whether two fundamental measures, standard metabolic rate (SMR) and...

Background. SIRT3 is one of the members of the Sirtuin deacetylase protein family which is linked to the longevity of human being and is used as an important therapeutic and diagnostic marker in illness and aging. Objectives. The aim of this study was studying the effect of continuous swimming training on some biomarkers of longevity in slowtwitch (SOL) and fast-twitch (EDL) muscles of adult m...

Background and objectives: Epidemiological studies have shown that high dose of ethanol can lead to apoptosis. On the other hand, the consumption of medicinal plants such as turmeric in the diet and performing physical activities are considered as factors to control apoptosis. Therefore, this article aims to mainly evaluate the anti-apoptotic effects of swimming and curcumin interactively durin...

this study investigates the effects of melatonin on the sperm quality and testis weight after the combination of swimming exercise and nandrolone decanoate (deca). two groups of male wistar rats were treated for eight weeks as follows; group a consist of co (control), sham, n (deca), s (swimming) and ns (deca plus swimming); and group b: sham m (sham melatonin), m (melatonin), mn (melatonin plu...

To compare the sensitivity of sprint and critical (Ucrit) swimming speeds to the condition of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and to identify the best anatomic, behavioural and biochemical correlates of these types of swimming, we established two groups of cod that were fed or starved for 12 weeks. We evaluated sprint swimming and Ucrit performance as well as the speed at which repeated burst-coast...

objective:diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder that is one of the important factors in the etiology of injuries oxidant know the purpose the aim of the present study, was the effect of swimming training with arbutin on total oxidant status (tos) and total antioxidant status(tas) the kidney tissue of alloxan-induced diabetic rats.methods: for this purpose, 42 male wistar rats with an...

this study was conducted to evaluate the role of swimming on mechanic of lung in healthy individual and patients with asthma. a total 76 girls who took part in the course of regular swimming session three day per week for eight weeks enrolled in this study. all of them completed isaac written questionnaire and individual who was suspected of asthma or other atopic diseases was referred to aller...

Eggs released by broadcast-spawning marine invertebrates are often negatively buoyant. Blastulae and gastrulae of these species are commonly motile, with passive stability that leads to upward swimming in still water. The earliest occurrence of swimming in developing embryos of diverse invertebrates may therefore permit vertical migration in nature. I used turbulent and laminar shear flows to i...
