Angiogenesis disorders are known mechanisms of diabetes. With the aim of reducing angiogenesis disorders, resistance training and its combination with endothelial progenitor cell injection are new strategies. Therefore, the present study was performed to determine the effect of resistance training with endothelial progenitor cell injection on the expression of angiogenic factors in the skeletal muscle of diabetic rats.

In this study, 30 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: healthy, control (D) diabetic, trained diabetic (DR), endothelial progenitor cell (DI) diabetic, trained endothelial progenitor cell (DRI) diabetic) Were divided. Ang1 and Tie2 protein expression changes were measured by Western blotting. Data were analyzed using two-factor analysis of variance with SPSS software version 19 at a significance level of 5% α≤.

In this study, 6 weeks of resistance training led to a significant increase in Ang1 and Tie2 proteins. But injection of endothelial progenitor cells was significant only on the amount of Tie2 protein. The interactive effect of resistance training and endothelial progenitor cell injection was significant only on the amount of Tie 2 protein. In other words, the combination of resistance training and endothelial progenitor cell injection was superior to Tie2 protein expression than training or injection alone.

It can be said that resistance training improves angiogenesis in diabetics. Combining resistance training with endothelial progenitor cell injections could possibly stimulate angiogenesis in skeletal muscle and be a new strategy in the treatment of diabetic disorders.

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes, and cardiovascular risk remains high even in patients with type 1 diabetes with good metabolic control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of six weeks of aerobic exercise on inflammation and damage indicators of heart tissue in type 1 diabetic male rats.

In this experimental study, 19 male Wistar rats (mean weight 200-250 g) were randomly divided into four groups: aerobic training, sham, control and healthy. In this study, induction of type 1 diabetes was performed by injecting a single dose of streptozotocin dissolved in sodium citrate buffer intraperitoneally. Aerobic exercise program was performed with intensity of 50-60% VO2max, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. After anesthesia, an autopsy was performed and left ventricle of the heart was removed. Levels of Tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC-1α) and Creatine kinase (CK) in rat heart tissue were measured by Western blotting. Data were analyzed by One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test at the P<0.05.

  The results showed that six weeks of aerobic training led to significant decrease in TNF-α and CK and significant increase in PGC-1α of the heart tissue in type 1 diabetic rats (P<0.001).

  According to the results, it seems that aerobic training can help improve the inflammation and damage indicators of heart in type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes is the most common glandular disease in the world. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three types of endurance, resistance and combination training on inflammation and insulin resistance in visceral adipose tissue of type 2 diabetic rats.

For this purpose, among eight-week-old male Wistar rats, 48 ​​rats were selected and randomly divided into 6 groups (diabetic endurance training, diabetic resistance training, diabetic combination training, healthy combined training, healthy control and diabetic control). The rats became diabetic by injecting 95 mg of nicotinamide and after 15 minutes of STZ injection at the rate of 55 mg/kg body weight. 4 days after injection, rats with serum glucose above 300 mg/dL were considered diabetic. Then, the endurance training group trained for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week with moderate intensity (50-60% of maximum oxygen consumption). The initial load to start resistance training was 50% of the rat's body weight. Each session added 15% of body weight to the weights. The combined exercise group also performed resistance and endurance exercises in a row. 48 hours after the last session, the rats were anesthetized and visceral adipose tissue was removed to examine the variables.

The results showed that there was a significant difference between the effect of six weeks of endurance, resistance and combined exercise on inflammation and insulin resistance in the visceral adipose tissue of male diabetic mice.

The results confirm the effect of three training methods on the mechanisms involved in diabetes.

Artificial intelligence analysis based on the gene list obtained from the DisGeNET database identified the important genes involved in the heart damage process. Data enrichment highlighted the apoptosis signaling pathway as a vital pathway in cardiovascular risk. Hence, we estimated the binding affinity of chemical and plant bioactive molecules for cytochrome-c protein. Here, we performed to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of resistance training (RT) with Tribulus Terrestris (TT) consumption on the mechanism of apoptosis in the heart tissue of rats exposed to stanozolol.

Thirty-five male rats were divided into seven groups: (1) Control, (2) Stanozolol (ST), (3) ST + 100 mg / kg TT, (4) ST + 50 mg / kg TT, (5) ST + RT (SRT), (6) S + RT + 100 mg / kg T (SRTT100), and (7) ST + RT + 50 mg / kg T (SRTT50). Differential gene expression was measured by q-RT-PCR. In bioinformatics analysis, the apoptosis signaling pathway was defined as a critical process in heart damage. In addition, adverse effects of Tribulus Terrestris and stanozolol on heart tissue were detected through the apoptotic pathway by molecular docking.

Resistance training along with 100 mg/kg reduced CRP and cytochrome-c Moreover, 100 mg/kg TT as a more favorable effect than 50 mg/kg TT

we showed the beneficial effects of Tribulus Terrestris, the plant’s bioactive compound that can reduce cardiovascular risks by impairing the formation of apoptosome assemblages and inflammation.

BDNF protein is the important neurotrophin that is involved in cognitive function. Diabetes can lead to impaired function and is a neurocognitive disorder's factor in hippocampus. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of concurrent training on BDNF levels in the brain hippocampus and cognitive function of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

40 of Sprague-Dawn rats were randomly divided into four groups: healthy inactive, non-healthy concurrent exercise, diabetic group without exercise, and diabetic concurrent exercise. Rats in the training groups performed concurrent training for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, subjects' memory was assessed using a cognitive function test in a water maze. BDNF levels in the hippocampus were measured by Western blotting. One-way analysis of variance and LSD post hoc test were used to analyze the data.

The present study showed that eight weeks of concurrent exercise resulted in a significant reduction in fasting blood sugar in the healthy exercise group compared to the diabetic group. A significant decrease in BDNF levels of the cerebral hippocampus was also observed in the diabetic exercise group compared to the diabetic group. In addition, the level of memory function in healthy exercise and diabetic exercise groups was significantly higher than healthy control and patient control.

Concurrent exercise reduces BDNF hippocampus and increased cognitive function in the exercise group compared to the control group. As a result, it can be said that this type of exercise is very effective in improving the complications of type 2 diabetes.

Adipulin is a hormone secretd by fat cells that acts as a metabolic regulator with anti-inflammatory properties and is reduced through obesity, diabetes and inflammation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of high and moderate intensity aerobic exercise on serum adipolin levels and some indicators of metabolic syndrome in obese women.

In this quasi-experimental study, 36 people were randomly divided into three groups of 12 people (2 experimental groups and one control group). Aerobic exercise group with an intensity of 85-95% of maximum heart rate performed intermittent walking and running on the treadmill for 33 minutes per session and exercise group with an intensity of 50-70% of maximum heart rate walked continuously for 41 minutes. (Training duration for 2 groups was 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week, The control group was not active during this period). One-way analysis of variance statistical and Bonferroni post hoc tests were used at the significant level (P> 0.05).

High intensity aerobic exercise significantly increased serum adipolin levels (P= 0.001) and decreased total cholesterol (P= 0.020), triglyceride (P= 0.021) and insulin resistance (P= 0.001). The results also showed no significant differences in the levels of high-density lipoprotein (P= 0.615), low-density lipoprotein (P= 0.604), and blood pressure (P= 0.269) in the three groups. Medium-intensity aerobic exercise had no effect on serum adipoline levels (P= 0.192), only glucose, (P= 0.025), triglycerides (P= 0.010), systolic blood pressure (P= 0.028) and insulin (P= 0.043) decreased and the levels of cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein did not change significantly.

In the end, it can be said that it seems that individuals can use high-intensity aerobic exercise to increase the amount of adipolin as an indicator of improving insulin sensitivity and also improving the indicators of metabolic syndrome.
