The present study evaluated the effects of endurance and resistance training on Plasma levels of chemerin and Factors related to obesity in overweight and obese females. Methods: In this study 34 overweight and obese females with an average of age (22.29±2.49 years), body mass index (BMI) (30.19±2.79 kg/m2), weight (77.23±10 kg) participated voluntarily and were randomly assigned into two experimental groups (n=12) and one control group (n=10). Endurance and resistance training groups trained for 8 weeks (4 days a week), respectively with intensity of 65 to 80% maximum heart rate (HRmax) and 65 to 80% one repetition maximum (1RM). In two steps of pre-test and post-test, after 12 hours of fasting, the blood samples were collected in the same conditions and ELIZA method was used to assess Plasma levels of Chemerin. Kolmogorov-Smirnove test was used to evaluate the normal distribution of data, the variation within groups using paired t-test and variation between groups analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD were used in significant level (P<0.05). Results: Plasma Chemerin decreased significantly after 8 weeks of training in endurance group (P<0.05), but there was no significant change in resistance group (P>0.05). Also In the experimental groups, factors related to obesity (weight, fat mass, WHR and BMI) were significantly decreased while the maximum oxygen consumption were significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions: Both endurance and resistance training, improved Factors related to Obesity and maximum oxygen consumption, but endurance training with a significant reduction in plasma chemerin, has a more effective role in health and reducing inflammation in overweight and obese females.

In this study, the effects of maternal stress was examined on the seizure threshold and hippocampal structure of their offspring during pregnancy. Methods: In this study, thirty pregnant mice were divided into two groups. 1) No stress group and 2) Stress group that received one hour immobilization stress from 1 to 14 day of pregnancy. The seizure threshold test was performed in offspring by injection of Pantilen tetrazol (PTZ). To study of the hippocampus development, the mouse offspring were divided into three groups: The control group no received immobilization stress on pregnant rat and their offspring also no received PTZ. The Sham group no received immobilization stress on pregnant rat but their offspring received PTZ. and experimental group that pregnant rat received immobilization stress and their offspring received PTZ. At the end of the experiences, all offsprings were killed by chloroform and their hippocampus fixed in and processed and 5µm sections were prepared and stained by the H&E method. The pyramidal and granular layers thickness in the Hippocampus were measured using Motic software and the number of cells in these layers and the number of blood vessels in the molecular and polymorphic layers were counted. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and T test. Results: The results showed a significant increase in seizure threshold in offspring whose mothers were under stress, compared with offspring whose mothers were not under stress. Average thickness of hippocampal pyramidal and granular in the experimental group than in the control group showed a significant increase (p<0.001). in addition, mean thickness of pyramidal and granular layers of hippocampus significantly increased in the experimental group compared to control group. The number of cells in hippocampal and granular layers significantly decreased in the experimental group when compared with control and sham groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: Prenatal stress can cause an increase in seizure threshold and also impair offspring's development and their hippocampal structure. hippocampus pregnancy PTZ stress seizure threshold 2015 7 01 333 345 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-38-en.pdf

The aim of this study was to examine possible changes in the sensory threshold of pain in offspring born to mothers with metabolic alkalosis in comparison with those born to healthy mothers. methods: in this experimental study, 50 mature female Westar rats each weighing 180±20gr were randomly divided into five groups: the control left untreated, the sham received calcium carbonate solution for 30 days before and up to the end of pregnancy, and three experimental groups including: minimum (I), medium (II) and maximum (III) dose alkalosis. Sodium bicarbonate was dissolved in drinking water to produce alkalosis in experimental groups. These groups with minimum, medium and maximum alkalosis received 0. 2M Sodium bicarbonate for 10, 20 and 30 days before and up to the end of pregnancy respectively. Following birth of the offspring, the treatment was stopped, and rats used tap water to the end of the experiment. Offspring were kept to adulthood, and then, males and females were separated. The study of sensory threshold of pain was carried out on male offspring by formalin test procedure. Pain scores were recorded in acute and chronic stages and were compared among different groups. Data was statistically analyzed by SPSS software, and Tukey and Anova test. Findings: the results indicated a significant increase in the pain scores during acute(0-5min) and chronic stages(16-60min) of formalin test in male rat offspring born to mothers with metabolic alkalosis compared to control and sham groups (P 0.05) Conclusion: Metabolic alkalosis is one of the most important diseases that affect the nervous system and naturally, increases neuronal excitability. Thus, with such impacts, alkalosis could reduce the sensory threshold of pain in offspring born to mothers with metabolic alkalosis, thereby increases pain in them. In this way, it is possible to reduce the sensory threshold of pain in children by controlling metabolic alkalosis in pregnant mothers. sensory thresholds of pain pain score metabolic alkalosis rat 2015 7 01 346 356 http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-73-en.pdf
