Aims: During recent years, consumption of nutritional supplements has become popular in the athletes to enhance muscle power, function, and hypertrophy. Since the chemical supplements cause side-effects, many experts focus on the traditional medications. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of short-term circular resistance exercises with Crocus sativus Supplementation on the insulin and estradiol levels. Materials & Methods: In the semi-experimental study, 44 untrained healthy men were selected from the students of Mazandaran University using census method in 2013. The samples were divided into four groups including “waterexercise”, “petal sweat-exercise”, “style-exercise”, and “stigma-exercise”. 2week resistance exercises consisted of 12 stations (30 seconds with 40% of a maximum repetition per station; 5 sessions a week). 500mg Crocus sativus were daily consumed two times in the morning immediately after the exercises. Blood sampling was done before and 48 hours after the last session. Data was analyzed by SPSS 20 software using one-way ANOVA, Bonferroni post-hoc, and dependent T tests. Findings: There was a significant increase in the estradiol level in stigmaexercise group than water-exercise group (p=0.007). There were significant increases in the plasma estradiol concentration in each stigma-exercise and style-exercise groups after the exercises (p 0.05). Conclusion: Circular resistance exercises with Crocus sativus supplementation lead to no change in insulin concentration. Nevertheless, consumption of the stigma of Crocus sativus flower can empower the effects of the resistance exercises and enhance estradiol.

Aims Cardio-vascular diseases are of the most important health and treatment problems in the recent industrialized societies. The conducted studies show that noise and vibrations, as types of pollution, are risk factors for the cardio-vascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of short-term and long-term facing with noise pollution on some heart biochemical and electrophysiological parameters in the rats. Materials & Methods In the experimental study, 60 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two experimental groups including short-term (one-day facing) and long-term (30-day facing). And each one included one control group and three experimental groups (4-, 8-, and 12-hour noise facing). At last, different electrophysiological parameters of heart function were investigated via recorded electrocardiograms. The levels of creatine phosphokinase and troponin I enzymes were measured, to investigate myocardial injury. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21 software using One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc tests. Findings Short-term (4-hour) facing with noise pollution only led to a reduction in PR interval (p<0.05). Long term (8- and 12-hour) facing with noise pollution considerably reduced PR, QT, and QTc wave intervals, while increased QRS complex voltage (p<0.05). Short-tem (4hour) and long-term (8 to 12-hour) facing led to an increase in the heart rate (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the serum level of creatine phosphokinase and troponin I enzymes between different groups. Conclusion Through changes in the hemodynamic factors, continuous facing with noise pollution can increase heart rate and function in the rats. A B S T R A C T A R T I C L E I N F O

Aims Any increase in the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) implies improper glucose control in the diabetic persons. Based on the evidences, a reduction in HbA1c prevents the long-term side-effects of diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-week aerobic alternate exercises on HbA1c and insulin resistance index in women with type II diabetes. Materials & Methods In this semi-experimental study, 30 women with type II diabetes referred to the diabetes clinic of Ahwaz Golestan Hospital were studied in 2012 The subjects were selected via available sampling, and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=15 per group). The aerobic program consisted of 8-week pedaling on an ergometer bicycle with an intensity of 68 to 80% of maximum power (3days per week). Fasting blood sampling was done before and after the exercise sessions in all the subjects. Data was analyzed by SPSS 17 software using dependent T and covariance analysis test. Findings Following 8-week aerobic alternate exercises, there was no significant reduction in HbA1c and fasting glucose in experimental group (p>0.05). Nevertheless, there were significant reductions in serum insulin and insulin resistance (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between fasting glucose and HbA1c amounts in experimental and control groups. Nevertheless, there were significant differences between serum insulin and insulin resistance in both groups (p<0.05). Conclusion 8-week aerobic alternate exercises with an increasing intensity affect serum insulin level and insulin resistance index in the women with type II diabetes. Nevertheless, the exercises do not considerably affect fasting blood glucose and HbA1c amount. A B S T R A C T A R T I C L E I N F O
