Investigation of the effect of training on serotonin, melatonin and hematologic parameters in adolescent basketball players.

Objectives: Exercise can improve both health and mood. Some beneficial effects of exercise are attributed to endocrine status. This study aims to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of basketball training on melatonin, serotonin, and hematologic parameters in basketball players.

Effects of regular exercise on inflammatory biomarkers and lipid parameters in soccer players.

Since chronic dyslipidemia and inflammation play a major role in the etiopathogenesis of atherosclerotic plaque, we investigated the effects of a 7-week exercise on the serum lipid profile, plasma atherogenic index (PAI), and inflammatory biomarkers interleukin (IL), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 in male soccer players. Methods: The participants in this study were 22 healthy male soccer players aged 19-25 years. IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-a, MCP-1, and lipid profile were recorded before and after the program.

Associations of apelin, leptin, irisin, ghrelin, insulin, glucose levels, and lipid parameters with physical activity during eight weeks of regular exercise training.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of 8 weeks of basketball training on apelin, leptin, irisin, ghrelin, insulin, glucose, and blood lipids among basketball players.

Methods: The exercise groups were given 2 h of basketball training for 5 d a week and for 8 weeks. The control group was randomly selected among the adolescents who did not regularly exercise.

Effects of different loading exercises on apelin levels and physical and hematologic parameters of swimmers.

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different exercise loads (short, medium and long swimming distances) on apelin levels and some physical and hematologic parameters of male professional swimmers. Materials and methods Apelin levels, hematologic parameters, whole blood values and physical measurements, including body mass index (BMI), aerobic power values and anaerobic power values, were also obtained. Results It was determined that the thrombocyte, erythrocyte and leukocyte values from the hematologic parameters increased after exercise (p < 0.

Effects of different exercise loads on the thyroid hormone levels and serum lipid profile in swimmers.

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different exercise loads (short, medium and long swimming distances) on the thyroid hormone (THs) levels and serum lipid profiles of male professional swimmers. Materials and methods The participants in this study were 20 healthy male professional swimmers aged 18-22 years, who all competed at an elite level. The THs levels [thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)] and serum lipid profile were also obtained.
