The Impact of Exercise and Protein Intake on Inflammaging: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Context: Sarcopenia and cachexia lead to muscle wasting and increased health risks in older adults. Both sarcopenia and cachexia are associated with inflammaging, a chronic low-grade inflammatory state linked to aging. Strategies to preserve muscle mass and function are crucial for maintaining independence and quality of life among the elderly.

Anabolic myokine responses and muscular performance following 8 weeks of autoregulated compared to linear resistance exercise in recreationally active males.

Background: To date, no studies, to our knowledge, have compared the efficacy of autoregulated periodized and linear resistance exercises on anabolic myokines and muscular performance among recreationally active individuals. This study aimed to compare the effects of an 8-week autoregulated periodized resistance exercise (APRE) program with a linear resistance exercise (LRE) program on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), follistatin (FST), myostatin (MST), body composition, muscular strength, and power in recreationally active males.

Methods: Thirty males were randomly assigned to either the APRE group (n = 15) or the LRE group (n = 15).

Effect of Aerobic Exercise Alone or in Conjunction With Diet on Liver Function, Insulin Resistance and Lipids in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Background: Physical exercises are the first step of therapy for people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Objective: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy of aerobic exercise training with or without diet to ameliorate liver function, insulin resistance, and lipids in adults.

Data Sources: We searched relevant databases up to 10 June 2021 for conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials lasting 4 or more weeks that investigated the effects of aerobic exercise alone or accompanied by diet on change in liver enzymes, intrahepatic fat (IHF), insulin resistance, and lipids.

The effects of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) in conjunction with concurrent training on body composition, glycaemic status, and inflammatory markers in obese men with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomized double-blind clinical trial.

Aims: Chronic inflammation is one of the major challenges in the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our primary aim was to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) supplementation and concurrent training in obese men with T2DM.

The Assessment of Some Metabolic Markers by Combination of Ursolic Acid Supplementation and Resistance Training in Young Older Obese Women.

Background: In this study, we explored the impacts of moderate-to-high intensity resistance circuit training (MHRCT) and Ursolic acid (UA) supplementation to improve these pathological changes in young older obese women (women between the ages of 50 and 70).

Methods: The study included twenty-five young older women (age > 50 years and ≤70 years) with stage I-II obesity (BMI ≥ 30 and <40 kg/m2), who received eight weeks placebo with MHRCT, and MHRCT with UA supplementation. UA or placebo orally was ingested as a capsule three times per day for eight weeks.

Auto-regulatory progressive training compared to linear programming on muscular strength, endurance, and body composition in recreationally active males.

We compared eight weeks of auto-regulatory progressive resistance exercise (APRE) to linear programming resistance exercise (LPRE) on changes in muscular strength and endurance, anaerobic power, and body composition in recreationally active males. Twenty-four recreationally active males (age: 24 ± 3 y; body mass: 78.3 ± 10.

The effect of two concurrent exercise modalities on serum concentrations of FGF21, irisin, follistatin, and myostatin in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This study investigated the effect of concurrent training (CT) sequences on fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), irisin, myostatin (MSTN), and follistatin (FST) among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Fifty-one diabetic men were randomly selected and assigned to concurrent aerobic-resistance (A-R) training and concurrent resistance-aerobic (R-A) training, and non-exercise control (CON) groups. The training protocols consisted of three sessions per week for 12 weeks.

The effect of aerobic, resistance, and combined training on PPAR-α, SIRT1 gene expression, and insulin resistance in high-fat diet-induced NAFLD male rats.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is known as the most important cause of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), which is accompanied by a decline in gene expression of hepatic's peroxisomes Proliferator-Activated Receptors-alpha (PPAR-α) and Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1). This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of aerobic, resistance, and combined training on hepatic PPAR-α and SIRT1 expression, IR, serum Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in rats of NAFLD induced by high-fat diet (HFD).

Methods: A total of 37 male NAFLD rats induced 12 weeks of HFD were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, aerobic, resistance, and combined training.

The Impact of High-Intensity Interval Training Versus Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training on Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Ankle-Brachial Index in Middle-Aged Women.

Objective: Obesity has been linked to cardiovascular risk factors characterized by endothelial dysfunction and arterial wall thickening. Regular exercise training is recognized as a powerful tool to improve endothelial function and cardiovascular risk profile, but it is unknown which of high-intensity interval training or moderate-intensity continuous training is the best exercise.

Materials And Methods: A total of 33 inactive and overweight women aged 40-50 years old and body mass index >27 kg/m were randomized to high-intensity interval training, moderate-intensity continuous training, or control.

The effects of interval aerobic training on mesenchymal biomarker gene expression, the rate of tumor volume, and cachexia in mice with breast cancer.

Objectives: It seems that regular exercise can have inhibitory effects on the progression of breast cancer. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the influences of interval aerobic training on mesenchymal biomarker gene expression, muscle cachexia, and tumor volume changes in mice with breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two female Balb/c mice were allocated to four groups: Exercise Tumor Exercise, Rest Tumor Rest (Control), Rest Tumor Exercise, and Exercise Tumor Rest.

The effect of eight weeks resistance and aerobic training on myostatin and follistatin expression in cardiac muscle of rats.

The clinical studies have shown that the myostatin gene expression and its serum density occur more frequently in heart patients than in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of 8-week resistance and aerobic exercise on the myostatin and follistatin gene expression of myocardium muscle of healthy male Wistar rats. In this experimental study, 20 five-week-old adult Wistar rats (250 ± 26.
