Impact of high intensity interval and moderate continuous training on plasma ratios of ProBNP/BNP and NT-pro-BNP/BNP after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

ProBNP/BNP, and NT-pro-BNP/BNP ratios are significant indices for predicting complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. However, the effect of aerobic training types on these biomarkers has not been fully understood. So, the current study aimed to determine the impact of aerobic interval and continuous training programs on plasma ratios of ProBNP/BNP and NT-pro-BNP/BNP after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.

Aerobic Training with Naringin Supplementation Improved Spatial Cognition via HS Signaling Pathway in Alzheimer's Disease Model Rats.

Objectives: This study examined the effects of one-month naringin administration and exercise training on cognitive impairment and HS signaling pathway in an Amyloid β (Aβ)-injected rat.

Methods: Rats were divided into four groups: control group; rats underwent Aβ microinjection surgery, exercise group; rats underwent Aβ microinjection surgery and trained by treadmill for four weeks, naringin group; rats underwent Aβ microinjection surgery, and rats orally administrated 80 mg.kg naringin for four weeks, naringin+exercise group; rats underwent Aβ microinjection surgery and were trained by treadmill for four weeks, and also, rats orally administrated 80 mg.

Regulation of PI3K and Hand2 gene on physiological hypertrophy of heart following high-intensity interval, and endurance training.

Background: Physical training signals cardiac hypertrophy through PI3K as an upstream and Hand2 gene as a downstream agent. The present study aimed to find the role of PI3K and Hand2 gene in myocardial hypertrophy following interval and endurance training (ET).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four adult Wistar male rats (210-250 g) randomly divided into control, sham, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and ET group.

Prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity in preschool children of Tehran, Iran.

Background: It is reported that prevalence of overweight and obesity have increased in all age groups, but little is known about prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to survey the prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity in 3-6 year-old Tehranian children in 2009-2010.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on a total of 756 (378 boys and 378 girls) preschool children aged 3-6.
