Comparative study of radioprotective effects of endurance training in irradiation-induced nephropathy of rat model.

Objectives: Considering the antioxidant properties of endurance training, this study aimed to investigate the effects of endurance training on serum levels of oxidative stress and structural changes in the kidney tissue of rats exposed to X-ray irradiation.

Methods: In this experimental study, 24 rats weighing 220±20 g were randomly divided into four groups (healthy control, healthy with moderate-intensity continuous training, X-ray control, and X-ray with moderate-intensity continuous training). The two groups of rats were irradiated with 4 Gy X-rays.

The effect of resistance training on serum levels of sex hormones and sperm quality in male rats under X-ray radiation.

Objectives: The present study aims to investigate the effects of resistance training on sex hormones and sperm parameters in male rats under X-ray.

Methods: In this experimental study, 24 Sprague Dawley rats (200-250 g) were randomly assigned into four groups: healthy control, irradiated control, healthy training and irradiated training. Irradiation was induced at a dose of 4 Gy on the whole body.
