Exercise training improves relaxation response and SOD-1 expression in aortic and mesenteric rings from high caloric diet-fed rats
(BMC Physiology, 2008-07-14) [Artigo]
Background. Obesity has been associated with a variety of disease such as type II diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis. Evidences have shown that exercise training promotes beneficial effects on ...
Maximal lactate steady state in rats submitted to swimming exercise
(Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - A Molecular and Integrative Physiology, 2001-08-21) [Artigo]
The higher concentration during exercise at which lactate entry in blood equals its removal is known as 'maximal lactate steady state' (MLSS) and is considered an important indicator of endurance exercise capacity. The aim ...
Exercise programs improve mobility and balance in people with Parkinson's disease
(Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2009-12-01) [Artigo]
Compromised balance and loss of mobility are among the major consequences of Parkinson's disease (PD). The literature documents numerous effective interventions for improving balance and mobility. The purpose of this study ...
Influence of physical preconditioning on the responsiveness of rat pulmonary artery after pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion
(Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - A Molecular and Integrative Physiology, 2007-07-01) [Artigo]
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of physical preconditioning in the responsiveness of rat pulmonary rings submitted to lung ischemia/reperfusion (IR). Wistar rats were divided into three groups: Sedentary ...
Insulin secretion in monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rats submitted to aerobic exercise training
(Physiological Chemistry and Physics and Medical NMR, 2003-12-01) [Artigo]
The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise training on glucose tolerance and insulin secretion of obese male Wistar rats (monosodium glutamate [MSG] administration, 4mg/g-body weight, each ...
Evaluation of a protein deficient diet in rats through blood oxidative stress biomarkers
(Research Communications in Molecular Pathology and Pharmacology, 2003-12-01) [Artigo]
Protein malnutrition leads to functional impairment in several organs, which is not fully restored with nutritional recovery. Little is known about the role of oxidative stress in the genesis of these alterations. This ...
Utilization of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the acute phase of ankle immobilization at 90°: Study in rats
(Journal of Chinese Clinical Medicine, 2009-06-25) [Artigo]
Objective: To evaluate the skeletal muscle glycogen content and plasmatic concentration of interleukin -6 (IL-6), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in rats submitted to ...
Comparação entre o desempenho motor de hommes e mulheres em séries múltiplas de exercícios com pesos
(Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Esporte, 2005-09-01) [Artigo]
The magnitude of men and women's neuromuscular, metabolic, and morphologic responses seems to be quite different even when both are submitted to exercise protocols using similar weight exercises protocols. However, differences ...
Electromyographic fatigue threshold of the biceps brachii: The effect of endurance time
(Electromyography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 2007-01-01) [Artigo]
Muscle fatigue can be a limiting factor to determine index as the electromyographic fatigue threshold (EMGFT) due the alterations in motivation and disconfots. This way, the purpose of this study was to identify the right ...
Effect of an acute β-adrenergic blockade on exercise intensity corresponding to the lactate minimum
(Sports Medicine, Training and Rehabilitation, 2000-12-01) [Artigo]
β-Adrenoreceptor blockade is reported to impair endurance, power output and work capacity in healthy subjects and patients with hypertension. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect in eighth athletic males ...
