Effect of eight weeks of rope training along with portulaca oleracea supplementation on serum levels of ox-LDL, Apo-A1, and Apo-B in overweight girls
Bahloul Ghorbanian, Hajar Mamaghani,
Volume 45, Issue 1 (3-2021)
Abstract

Background: New findings suggest that levels of Apo-A1 and Apo-B in the blood are more likely to predict the risk of coronary heart disease compared with other conventional lipid indicators. On the other hand, low-density lipoprotein oxidation, called ox-LDL, is known to be the most important process in initiating and accelerating the accumulation and deposition of fat in the arteries. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of eight weeks of rope training along with Portulaca oleracea supplementation on ox-LDL, Apo-A1, and Apo-B levels in overweight and obese girls.
Materials and Methods: In the current experimental study, 40 individuals (20-25 yr) volunteered and were randomly assigned into placebo, complement, exercise, and exercise + complement roups. Exercise protocol of rope training was conductcted for 8 weeks, 4 days per week, 45 minutes per day. Participants of exercise + complement and supplemented groups received 1200 mg of Portulaca oleracea supplement per day for eight weeks. Blood samples were taken to evaluate ox-LDL, Apo-B, Apo-A1 serum levels before and after exercise. Data were analyzed running T-test and ANOVA in SPSS, version 20 (p <0.05).
Results: The results showed that in all the three intervention groups, Apo-A1 levels increased significantly (exercise group: p=0.001; supplement group: p = 0.000; supplement + exercise group: p=0.002), and the values of Apo-B (exercise group: p = 0.002; supplement  group: p = 0.001; supplement + exercise group: p = 0.012) and ox-LDL (exercise group: p = 0.009; supplement  group: P = 0.026; supplement + exercise group: P = 0.049) in all three intervention groups decreased significantly.
Conclusions: It seems that the use of non-medical strategies such as aerobic training in the form of rope training and the use of Portulaca oleracea supplementation can be useful in controlling the risk factors associated with overweight and obesity.


The effect of resistance training combined with neurofeedback on serum levels of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in young males
Bahloul Ghorbanian, Behrouz Ghorbanzadeh, Asgar Iranpour, Bahman Samadi,
Volume 45, Issue 4 (12-2021)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Decreased levels of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) have been reported as anabolic risk factors for  health in young people. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of resistance training and resistance training with neurofeedback on serum levels of testosterone and DHEA-S in young males. 
Materials and Methods: A total of 30 young males were divided into resistance training (n=10), resistance training and neurofeedback (n=10), and control (n=10) groups. The training groups performed resistance training and neurofeedback training for eight weeks. In both pre- and posttests, the levels of testosterone and DHEA-S were measured. Combined analysis of variance was used to compare the means between groups and paired t-test was used to compare the means within the group.
Results: Compared to control group, serum testosterone levels increased significantly following resistance training and resistance training with neurofeedback in young males (p=0.01). Also, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels, compared to resistance training group, had a significantly higher increase in the resistance training with neurofeedback group (p=0.01). Also, serum cortisol levels were significantly reduced (p = 0.001) in the resistance training with neurofeedback group, but its reduction in the resistance training group was not found to be significant (p = 0.31), as
compared with the control group. .
Conclusion: Anabolic and catabolic hormones appear to respond better to electrical stimulation of the brain with resistance training.

The Effect of Eight Weeks of Intense Interval Training on Serum Levels of Adiponectin, Irisin, and Lipid Profile in Women with Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Bahloul Ghorbanian, Safa Eghtesadi,
Volume 46, Issue 4 (12-2022)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Non- alcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by fat deposition in liver cells and, if not controlled, may cause fibrosis, cirrhosis, and cell destruction of the liver. Sports activity is one of the contributing factors in the recovery of non-alcoholic fatty liver patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high- intensity interval training (HIIT) on serum levels of adiponectin, irisin, and lipid profile in women with non- alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Methods: In this experimental clinical trial, 25 women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with an age range of    30-50 years were selected as a statistical sample based on the inclusion criteria and randomly divided into two exercise groups (13 people) and control groups (12 people). Intense interval training was performed for 8 weeks (four sessions per week and each session lasting 48 to 60 minutes). Blood samples were taken before and after the test to measure the levels of adiponectin, irisin, and lipid profile. Statistical analysis of the data was done using independent t- test and correlated t- test using spss21 software at a significance level of p<0.05.
Results: The results showed that after training intervention, the serum levels of adiponectin (p= 0.049), irisin           (p= 0.004), and HDL (p= 0.005) significantly increased, and LDL (p= 0.001), TG (p= 0.001), TC (p= 0.001) had a significant decrease in the exercise group compared to the control group (p≥0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the positive effects of HIIT on serum levels of irisin, adiponectin, and lipid profile in patients with non- alcoholic fatty liver, it seems that these exercises can be recommended as a non- pharmacological treatment to improve these patients.
 

Effect of Aerobic Training on Serum Levels of Myostatin and Metabolic Risk Indices in Middle - Aged Men with Metabolic Syndrome
Mrs Kobra Rasi, Dr Bahloul Ghorbanian, Dr Asgar Iranpour,
Volume 47, Issue 3 (12-2023)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Inhibition of myostatin as a myokine is involved in reducing fat accumulation through increasing muscle mass. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an aerobic exercise course on myostatin levels and metabolic risk factors in middle - aged men with metabolic syndrome.
Methods: Thisresearch was an experimental study with a pre - test and post - test design. 20 men with metabolic syndrome and average age of 53.6 ± 3.13 years voluntarily participated in this study and were randomly divided into two control (n= 10) and aerobic exercise (n= 10) groups. The assimilation of the subjects of the two groups was done based on the inclusion criteria and random selection of the subjects in the groups. The exercise program included 12 weeks of aerobic exercise with a sequence of 3 sessions per week and each session included 45 minutes of exercise with an intensity of 60-70% of reserve heart rate. During the intervention period, the control group only did their daily activities without exercising. All research variables such as myostatin levels, metabolic factors and body composition, and maximum oxygen consumption were measured in two stages before the training intervention and 48 hours after the last training session. Statistical analysis of the data was done by independent and dependent t-tests.
Results: There was a significant difference between the two training and control groups in all research variables          (P ≥ 0.05). Myostatin values (P= 0.001),  HDL (P= 0.001), VO2max (P= 0.001) significantly increased and the values of body weight (P= 0.001), BMI (P= 0.001), waist size (P= 0.001), mean blood pressure (P= 0.001), total cholesterol (P= 0.001), triglyceride (P= 0.002), LDL (P= 0.001), blood sugar (P= 0.001) ) and insulin resistance index (P= 0.001) in the exercise group decreased significantly in the post-test compared to the pre-test.
Conclusion: It seems that a 12-week aerobic exercise program with an intensity of 60-70% of reserve heart rate could be suggested as a non-drug method to reduce myostatin and control metabolic risk factors in patients with metabolic syndrome.
