background smoking is an established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. objectives here we aimed to assess the effect of 3-month aerobic training on c-reactive protein (crp) level and total antioxidant capacity (tac) in male smokers. results aerobic training resulted in a significantly increased tac (p < 0.001), but crp remained unchanged (p = 0.96). conclusions des...

BACKGROUND Severe early life stress (ELS) is associated with negative outcomes. It is not clear, however, what impact moderate ELS has. A growing stress inoculation literature suggests that moderate (vs. low or high) ELS is associated with diminished behavioral and physiological anxiety responses. At the same time, studies of trait anxiety suggest that moderate (vs. low) ELS is associated with ...

to evaluate the effect of bio-fertilizers on physiological traits in soybean under water deficit condition, agreenhouse experiment was conducted in 2011, at faculty of agriculture, tarbiat modares university,using a factorial design based on rcbd with three replications. the experimental treatments weredifferent irrigation regimes including non-stress (40% water depletion), moderate stress (60%...

In the treatment guidelines developed by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, exposure therapy was named as the best therapy for PTSD. Exposure therapy has consistently been shown to be more effective than no treatment controls. It also has been shown superior to supportive counseling for PTSD symptoms. Studies have revealed that It has been shown to be at least equally effec...

Cold stress is an ‎important limiting factor for cereal production. Barley is a host species for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with a high genetic diversity in response to cold stress. In order to explore the mechanisms for the ameliorative effect of AMF under cold stress, an experiment was undertaken using completely randomized block design with three factors including temperature treatme...

Stable stress-responsive models have been established in murine (Moloney) virus sarcomas, which lend themselves to further study of intervening immunological mechanisms. Maximum tumor size was increased in sex-segregated male BALB/c mice at 6 and 9 months of age and in females subjected to 3 days of electric shock stress following virus inoculation. Reduction in maximum tumor size was found in ...

in order to evaluate the effect of piriformospora indica fungi inoculation on antioxidant systems and photosynthetic pigments of stevia under salt stress, an experiment was conducted in a factorial based completely randomized design with four replications under in vitro culture conditions. factors include salinity at six levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mm of nacl) and inoculation of mycorr...
