Background: Children with seizure disorder are often treated with sodium valproate (SV) on long-term basis. SV acts mainly through gamma amino butyric acid pathways, reducing the excitatory neurotransmission and modifying the monoamine concentration. Altered monoamine concentration by SV is expected to cause movement disorder and cognitive dysfunction, considered reversible after the withdrawal...

The purpose of this study was to compare session rating of perceived exertion for different resistance training techniques in the squat exercise. These techniques included traditional resistance training, super slow, and maximal power training. Fourteen college-age women (Mean ± SD; age = 22 ± 3 years; height = 1.68 ± 0. 07 m) completed three experimental trials in a randomized crossover design...

parathyroid hormone (pth) is the major factor of calcium homeostasis. this hormone increases calcium uptake in intestines through stimulation of the active formation of vitamin d and eventually increases bone density. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one session of resistance and endurance activity on pth and alp in untrained young girls (mean age 21.9±1.23 yrs, height 161...

All phospholipids in the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells are subject to a slow passive transbilayer movement. In addition, aminophospholipids are recognized by the so-called aminophospholipid translocase, and are rapidly moved from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. Though these principal pathways of transbilayer movement of ph...

background resistance exercise is recommended as a useful therapeutic tool for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (t2d); however, the frequency of studies is inadequate to establish the precise mechanisms of any association between them. objectives in this study, we aimed to assess the effect of three months of resistance training on tcf7l2 expression in pancreatic tissues, serum insulin and gluc...

Osteoporosis (low bone strength) and sarcopenia (low muscle mass, strength and/or impaired function) often co-exist (hence the term 'sarco-osteoporosis') and have similar health consequences with regard to disability, falls, frailty and fractures. Exercise and adequate nutrition, particularly with regard to vitamin D, calcium and protein, are key lifestyle approaches that can simultaneously opt...

A review was conducted of prospective studies (1997-2014) examining the efficacy of exercise as a workplace intervention to control neck/shoulder pain, symptoms, and disability. The review identified 38 relevant studies - 20 were classified with positive effects, 13 with null effects, and 5 as inconclusive. Of the positive studies, 12 were consistent with Level I evidence, 3 with Level II evide...

introduction: studies have shown that insufficient recovery between sessions causes immune suppression. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated bouts resistance and endurance exercise on blood leukocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes count and plasma cortisol levels in athlete girls. materials and methods: 9 athlete girls (ages, 20-25 years), participated in the s...
