Effect of the of Zeolite Containing Silver-Zinc Nanoparticles on the Push out Bond Strength of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in Simulated Furcation Perforation.

Statement Of The Problem: Recently, zeolite has been regarded to improve the properties of dental materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of incorporating zeolite/silver/zinc (Ze/Ag/Zn) composite at 2 wt% to MTA powder on the push-out bond strength in simulated furcation perforations.

Materials And Method: Furcal perforations, measuring 1.

Do ACE and CKMM gene variations have potent effects on physical performance in inactive male adolescents?

We studied to ascertain whether the ACE and/or CKMM genotypes independently influence the baseline level of some sport performances in 613 inactive male adolescents (mean ± SD age: 13.24 ± 0.28 years).

Association between the PPARa and PPARGCA gene variations and physical performance in non-trained male adolescents.

The purpose of the research was to examine if some genetic variations are associated with some endurance, power and speed performances (multi-stage 20-m shuttle run, standing broad jump, 20 m sprint test and Abalakov jump) in a group of 586 non-trained male adolescents (mean ± SD age: 13.20 ± 0.25 years).

The response of circulating omentin-1 concentration to 16-week exercise training in male children with obesity.

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of the 16-week exercise training program on serum omentin-1 in relation to change in insulin resistance in obese male children.

Methods: Thirty-two obese male children, aged 9-12 years, were randomly assigned into Exercise Group (ExG; n = 16) and Control Group (CG; n = 16). ExG participated in a 16-week exercise training program which combined various forms of aerobic activities and resistance training.

Beneficial Effects of Endurance Exercise with Rosmarinus officinalis Labiatae Leaves Extract on Blood Antioxidant Enzyme Activities and Lipid Peroxidation in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of endurance exercise training accompanying Rosmarinus officinalis Labiatae (rosemary) leaves extract on lipid peroxidation and antioxidative systems in the blood of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

Method: To this end, 50 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: the sedentary control, sedentary diabetic, trained diabetic, diabetic plus rosemary extract treatment and trained diabetic plus rosemary extract treatment groups. Animals in the trained groups were exercised on a treadmill 4 days a week for 8 weeks.

Mannose-binding lectin 2 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infection among endurance athletes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2)-exon-1 gene polymorphisms on upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) incidence among endurance athletes. To this end, 100 healthy elite male athletes participating in the study were classified as either healthy or prone to frequent URTI. Blood samples, DNA isolation, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and conventional PCR-RFLP were performed.

The effect of aerobic training on CXL5, tumor necrosis factor α and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in sedentary obese women.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week training program on serum CXC ligand 5, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and insulin resistance index in obese sedentary women. To this end, twenty-four obese sedentary women were evaluated before and after a 12-week exercise program including a brief warm-up, followed by ~45 min per session of aerobic exercise at an intensity of 60-75% of age-predicted maximum heart rate (~300 kcal/day), followed by a brief cool down, five times per week. After the exercise program, body weight, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, percentage body fat mass, fasting glucose and insulin of participants were decreased.

The effect of Zingiber officinale R. rhizomes (ginger) on plasma pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in well-trained male endurance runners.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ginger on the concentrations of plasma interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in welltrained male endurance runners. To this end, twenty-eight high-level endurance runners were randomly assigned to two groups (control and experimental). They performed the same weekly training volume for 12 weeks.
