Objectives: In order to treat a rat model of rotator cuff rupture, this work concentrated on the expression of TNMD and RUNX2, followed by rotator cuff repair and secretome-hMSCs.

Methods: A total of thirty 10-weeks-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into five groups randomly, RC on week 0, lesion treated with a rotator cuff repair and saline (RC + NaCl group, n = 6) for 2 and 8 weeks, and lesion treated with a rotator cuff repair and secretome-hMSCs (RC + secretome-hMSC group, n = 6) for 2 and 8 weeks. The supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle-tendon units were obtained for histological and biomechanical investigation at 0, 2 and 8 weeks following injury.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) exposure on the expression of hypoxia-induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) messenger RNA (mRNA), vascular endothelial growth factor-a (VEGF-a) mRNA, and angiogenesis after tooth extraction in rats.

Materials And Methods:  On 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats were performed the removal of the maxillary left first molar, and then they were randomly divided into 9 groups, namely: 4 groups that were exposed to IHH for 30 minutes every day in the Hypobaric Chamber at an altitude of 18,000 feet, with 1 time hypobaric hypoxia (HH), 3 times HH, 5 times HH, and 7 times HH; 4 normoxia groups that were terminated on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after tooth extraction; and the 1 control group. Real-time polymerase chain reaction measured the molecular changes in the socket tissue after tooth extraction in rats to evaluate the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and VEGF mRNA.

Background: Endorphin is a biological change in molecular physiology that is commonly connected with anxiety. An increase in the level of anxiety is caused by both an increase and a decrease in the number of endorphins that are present in the brain; however, up until this point, it has never been reported that there is a relationship between the level of anxiety and the influence of interval training.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of training interval on endorphin level and anxiety degrees of secaba student soldiers with moderate degrees of anxiety.

Background: Physical exercise is a process of increasing contraction of skeletal muscles involving several organ systems to increase energy formation and it is one of the pillars for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (TDM2). T2DM affects the expression of the TGF-β gene.

Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of moderate intensity continuous training and slow interval training in expression of TGF-β gene in wistar rats T2DM model.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC) fruit ethanol extract on brain weight and p16INK4a levels in aging model rats, highlighting its potential as an anti-aging agent. !* -
  • 24 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups, including control and treatment groups, and subjected to D-galactose to induce aging over 8 weeks, with doses of andaliman extract given in two treatment groups. !* -
  • Results indicated a trend toward increased brain weight in the treatment groups compared to the aging control group, and significant reductions in p16INK4a expression, suggesting that andaliman extract may help mitigate aging effects

Aim: To analyse the differential expression of the gene between moderate continuous and severe continuous training in the T2DM rat model.

Methods: This was an experimental study. Healthy male Wistar was used in this study, which divided into sedentary, moderate continuous training, and severe continuous training.

Oxidative stress from exercise can contribute to damaging cells, increasing heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and suppressing the immune system in the body. This research aimed to determine the antioxidant potential of red-fleshed pitaya extract on HSP70 and cortisol expression in rats which were subjected to strenuous exercise. The subjects of this research were 32 Sprague Dawley male rats, aged 3 months, with an average weight of 200 g.

The sarcopenic phenotype is characterized by a reduction of muscle mass, a shift in fiber-type distribution, and reduced satellite cell regeneration. Sarcopenia is still a major challenge to healthy aging. Traditional Indonesian societies in Sulawesi island have been using nutmeg for maintaining health condition during aging.
