the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks moderate intensity aerobic exercise on leptin and c-reactive protein serum levels in obese men. the study was conducted in urmia- iran in 2015. twenty-four obese men with an aged range 40-50 yrs. were enrolled into the study. subjects were randomized to one of 2 groups exercise (n=12) and control groups (n=12). the exercise group p...

Objective: Appetite regulation has a great impact on energy homeostasis. This study aimed to compare the response agouti-related protein (AGRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) to a single high intensity interval training (HIIT) in obese and underweight men. Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental research conducted on 40 obese and underweight men who were divided into four groups including expe...

introduction: obesity is common in patients with cardiovascular disease (cvd) and the vast majority of patients entering into cardiac rehabilitation program (crp) are obese. regarding the gender differences, the risk of developing coronary heart disease (chd) is recognized to be different between obese men and women. so, the purpose of this study was to explore the effect of crp in functional c...

Background The obesity pandemic has grown to concerning proportions in recent years, not only in the Western World, but in developing countries as well. The corresponding decrease in male fertility and fecundity may be explained in parallel to obesity. Obesity in men is associated with infertility in numerous studies. MaterialsAndMethods In this review article, electronic searches were undertak...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is produced in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. The circulating levels of IL-18 increases in obesity and some metabolic and cardiorespiratory diseases. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between circulating levels of IL-18 and leptin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protei...

Background: Recent population-based studies suggest an elevated risk for subfertility among couples in which the male partner is obese and an increased likelihood of abnormal semen parameters among heavier men. Male factor infertility is associated with a higher incidence of obesity in the male partner. The aim of this review article is to study the effect of body mass index (BMI) on semen qual...

purpose lipocalin-2 (lcn2), a newer adipocyte-secreted acute phase protein, was recently reported to be correlated with potential effects on obesity and inflammation. the reaction of this protein to progressive exercise has not been evaluated yet. this study was designed to compare the serum lcn2 and high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels after participating in an acute bout of tre...
