diabetes is a metabolic disorder specified by hyperglycemia following a defect in insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of high-intensity interval training (hiit) on serum adiponectin levels and insulin resistance of women with type 2 diabetes. for this purpose, 35 overweight women with type 2 diabetes (age range 45-60 years, bmi 25-30 kg...

in this research, moisture sorptions of sayer date were determined at 20, 30, 40 and 60°c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost 90. several mathematical models, namely gab, bet, iglesias & chirif and halsey were employed to fit the experimental data through non-linear regression. results indicate that equilibrium moisture content increa...

interleukin-12 (il-12) is a key cytokine involved in regulating the balance between th1 and th2 cells by promoting th1 response. a reduced capacity to produce this cytokine could lead to aberrant th2 development. on the same aspect significant impact of il-12 on invariant natural killer t (inkt) cells was reported. therefore, we examined the serum levels of il-12 and the absolute number of peri...

extended abstract 1. introduction the diversity of impersonal constructions and the different approaches used in studying them have caused different and sometimes contradictory positions about their classification and the explanation of grammatical and semantic roles of their components. this article reveals the necessity of studying them with a new approach which pursues a common basis coverin...

in order to possibility of improving physiological traits, yield and yield components of safflower (carthamus tinctorius cv. sina) by anti-transpiration application in rainfed condition, a research was carried out in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcdb) with three replications in miyaneh region (east azarbaijan province - iran) in 2011. the treatments antitranspirant rate ...

in rainfed areas of iran, cereal yields are low, variable and mainly as a result of inadequate and erratic seasonal rainfall and associated management factor, such as late sowing date (or late crop germination). in order to investigate the effects of single irrigation and nitrogen on bread wheat (triticum aestivum l. var. sabalan) a field experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a ran...
