Effect of acute exercise on executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of acute aerobic exercise on executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Forty children with ADHD were randomly assigned into exercise or control groups. Participants in the exercise group performed a moderate intensity aerobic exercise for 30 min, whereas the control group watched a running/exercise-related video.

Transcriptional regulation of human eosinophil RNases by an evolutionary- conserved sequence motif in primate genome.

Background: Human eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (edn) and eosinophil cationic protein (ecp) are members of a subfamily of primate ribonuclease (rnase) genes. Although they are generated by gene duplication event, distinct edn and ecp expression profile in various tissues have been reported.

Results: In this study, we obtained the upstream promoter sequences of several representative primate eosinophil rnases.
