Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRELATIONSHIPS AMONG INDICATORS OF FITNESS, FATNESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS IN ADOLESCENTSRobert Malina, Stephen-Mark Cooper, John Young et al.In adults, fatness and low cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a higher prevalence of chronic disease risk and mortality. The association between measures of physical fitness and fatness upon cardiovascular risk in youth, however, is less clear. The effects of adiposity and physical fitness upon cardiovascular disease risk factors in youth are receiving increasing attention but studies that have examined … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2012 · 8,118 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Intraperitoneally Injection of Different Doses of Lovastatin on Pain and Inflammatory Response Induced by Formalin in MiceKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methyl Glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Their lipid-lowering actions are by reversible and competitive inhibition of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a precursor of cholesterol. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels, such as … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,685 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of a Prophylactic Dose of Ibuprofen on Plasma Level of Interleukin 1, Interleukin 6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha in a 1500 m Running PracticeGholamreza Sepehri, Mohammad Pourranjbar, Ghollam-Reza Moshtaghi-Kashanian et al.Problem statement: there are controversies about the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on exercised induced changes on plasma cytokines in untrained male athletes, so the primary purpose of this study was to measure the influence of a prophylactic dose of ibuprofen use on plasma cytokines during a 1500 m running race. Approach: Subjects were 10 untrained male Medical University students who … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,892 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Ferritin for Differentiation of Aseptic and Bacterial Meningitis in AdultsZhinous Bayat Makoo, Nagmeh Ahadi, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity. Rapid diagnosis of bacterial cause is very important and critical, because early antibiotic therapy prevents complications; different tests have been developed for rapid diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. One of them is CSF ferritin, which is evaluated in this study. Approach: During cross sectional study from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,049 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDiagnostic Value of Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid Procalcitonin in Differentiation Bacterial from Aseptic MeningitisZhinous Bayat Makoo, Hamid Reza Soltani, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Acute bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of medical emergency diseases, which can cause high mortality and morbidity rates. Early antibiotic therapy is life saving in bacterial meningitis. One of the most common etiologies of acute meningitis is viral. Differentiation between bacterial and Aseptic meningitis is mandatory, which leads to avoid useless administration of antibiotics. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 12,084 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Metformin Treatment on Inflammatory Factors and Gut Microbial Diversity in Patients with Type II Diabetes MellitusLei Tong, Jingjing Zhang, Li Xiao Yue et al.With the persistent rise in the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), traditional treatment evaluations have primarily focused on glycemic control, often overlooking the multidimensional effects of medications. As a first-line therapeutic agent, the anti-inflammatory effects and gut microbiota regulation mechanisms of metformin remain incompletely elucidated. This prospective cohort study established a metformin treatment group and a T2DM control … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 20 Jul 2026 · 785 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractsuPAR as an Inflammatory and Preclinical Atherosclerotic Marker in Hypovitaminosis DShravan Ajith Panchwadkar, Sudha Kuthethur, Neelam Manjunath Pawar et al.The mechanistic link between inflammation and atherosclerosis highlights the critical role of immune modulation in cardiovascular disease. The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), an immune-derived factor, has recently emerged as a non-specific inflammatory marker across chronic diseases and infections. All cells within the atherosclerotic arterial wall can express uPAR and release urokinase, which plays a key role in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2026 · 1,126 accessesView PDF Cite
