Assessment of estimated and measured resting metabolic rates in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the estimated and measured resting metabolic rates of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in an outpatient clinical setting.

Material And Methods: Participants were categorized into three groups that included type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and individuals without diabetes. Bland-Altman analysis was used to identify the equation that most accurately predicted the measured resting metabolic rates.

Diet-supported aerobic exercise reduces blood endothelin-1 and nitric oxide levels in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance.

Background: Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) forms an intermediate stage in the natural history of diabetes mellitus. Insulin-resistant states might be associated with dysfunction of the vascular endothelium.

Objectives: To determine the effects of chronic exercise and a low-calorie diet on plasma nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in patients with IGT and to elucidate the relationship between the oxidant stress markers and NO/ET-1 levels of blood before and after exercise.

The effects of regular aerobic exercise on renal functions in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.

Diabetic nephropathy is a feared complication of diabetes since it can lead to end-stage renal failure and also it is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. The important clinical problems caused by diabetic nephropathy are proteinuria and decreased renal function. Exercise is a cornerstone of diabetes management, along with diet and medication.

Right and left ventricular adaptation to training determined by conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging in young endurance athletes.

Objective: Some findings of left ventricular (LV) functions in athletes are controversial. On the other hand, studies concerning the right ventricle (RV) are limited. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of endurance training on LV and RV systolic and diastolic function.

Effects of physical exercise on quality of life, exercise capacity and pulmonary function in children with asthma.

Objective: To investigate the effects of regular submaximal exercise on quality of life, exercise capacity and pulmonary function in asthmatic children.

Patients And Methods: Sixty-two children with mild-moderate asthma (mean age 10.4 (SD 2.

The effects of aerobic exercise on skeletal muscle metabolism, morphology and in situ endurance in diabetic rats.

The effects of aerobic exercise training on skeletal muscle endurance capacity were examined in diabetic rats in situ. Moderate diabetes was induced by iv injection of streptozotocin and an exercise training program on a treadmill was carried out for 8 weeks. The animals randomly assigned to one of the four experimental groups: control-sedentary (CS), control-exercise (CE), diabetic-sedentary (DS) or diabetic-exercise (DE).
