Volume 2, Issue 3 (11-2012)
Abstract
Background and Objective: This study assessed the mid-term changes in anthropometrical and biochemical factors as well as nutritional status and physical activity level with regard to nocturnal eating during Ramadan, for the first time.
Materials and Methods: Via an easy sampling, the cohort study was conducted in 49 women aged between 20 and 45 years who were recruited from Shahid Motahari Hospital in Isfahan. The subjects were divided into two groups based on their nocturnal eating pattern. Anthropometrical and biochemical parameters were measured three days before Ramadan, on the third day of Ramadan, and thirty days after the end of Ramadan. A 147 food items frequency questionnaire was used for the assessment of nutritional status t. Repeated measure test was employed to determine changes over time, and the interaction effects between times and nocturnal eating status.
Results: The body weight and body mass index of the women who consumed the nocturnal meal was significantly different from those of the subjects who did not consume the downset meal (p value =0.006). There were significant differences in energy, carbohydrate, and fat intake as well as serum triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, and physical activity levels between the three time periods. Serum glucose, cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol were not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion: Ramadan fasting has beneficial effects on the body weight and body mass index. Fasting causes some changes in the lipid profile these changes can be attributed to changes in dietary habits and physical activity level during Ramadan, rather than nocturnal eating status.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Diabetes mellitus has different side effects on various tissues of the body. This study was conducted to determine the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Dracocephalum kotschyi on blood glucose and lipid profile of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 48 male Wistar rats (200-250 g) randomly divided into 6 equal groups. Normal control and control diabetic received distilled water, whereas the control group received the hydroalcoholic extract of Dracocephalum kotschyi (120 mg/Kg bw). Three treatment diabetic groups received 40, 80 and 120 mg/Kg bw of hydroalcoholic extract of Dracocephalum kotschyi, respectively. All rats were treated orally by gavage which continued daily for 21 days. The level of blood glucose and lipid profile was measured at the end of the study in different groups.

Results: The Mean blood glucose in the extract treatment groups decreased significantly compared to the diabetic control. The mean of total cholesterol in the treatment groups with 80 and 120 mg/Kg bw of the extract were 105.8±9.73 and 102.73±8.75 mg/dl respectively, that reduced significantly compared to the diabetic control (135.2±12.15 mg/dl). The mean of triglyceride in the treatment groups with 80 and 120 mg/Kg bw of the extract were 177.81±13.47 and 164.86±12.53 mg/dl that reduced significantly compared to the diabetic control (206.75±17.42 mg/dl).

Conclusion: The extract of Dracocephalum kotschyi probably has reduced the blood glucose and lipid profile in diabetic mellitus.

Volume 9, Issue 4 (11-2019)
Abstract
Background & Objective: At present, the prevalence of hypertension is growing and one of the contributing factors in the occurrence and development of hypertension and atherosclerosis is impaired renin–angiotensin system which in this system endothelium angiotensin converting enzyme is the main enzyme. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks aerobic training on serum angiotensin converting enzyme and lipid profile in inactive overweight women.
Materials & Methods: In this semi-experimental study, twenty healthy women (20-30 years old) with BMI>25 kg/m 2 were randomly divided into training group (n = 10) and control group (n = 10). The training group performed aerobic exercise for eight weeks, three sessions per week with 55-75% of maximum heart rate. The duration of each training session was increased from 40 to 60 minutes gradually. 48 hours before and after aerobic training program, anthropometric measurements, VO2max, lipid profile, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) of all subjects were measured. Data were analyzed with paired t-independent test and t-student test at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: Results showed that eight weeks of aerobic training had a significant effect on weight (p=0/01) and BMI (p=0/01) in training group; While changes in angiotensin converting enzyme (p=0/543) and LDL(p=0/927), HDL(p=0/120), Triglyceride (p=0/788) and Cholesterol (p=0/324) during pre-test and post-test was not significant in between groups.
Conclusion: Eight weeks of training program have improved angiotensin converting enzyme, LDL, HDL, Triglyceride and Cholesterol in women, approximately. And it can be said that regular exercise may probably have a preventive effect on the prohibition of cardiovascular disease in overweight women.
 

 
How Combined Exercise and Vitamin D Supplementation Affect Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors: A Clinical Trial in Menopausal Women

Volume 10, Issue 3 (8-2020)
Abstract
Background & Objective: Exercise is a well-known strategy to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome and chronic disease. However, the concurrent effect of aerobic training with vitamin D supplementation on anthropometric indices and lipid profile are somewhat unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic training and vitamin D supplementation (AT+Vit D) on anthropometric indices and lipid profile in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome.
Materials & Methods: Forty-six postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome were randomly assigned to four groups: AT+Vit D (n=11), AT (n=12), Vit D (n=12), and control (C; n=11). The training protocol was incrementally conducted for 8 weeks, 20-40 min of training, with 60-75% HRmax, 3 sessions per week. The intervention groups received capsules of 5000 IU vitamin D or placebo. The data were analyzed through paired t-tests and two-way ANOVA analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test with SPSS 24 at the signification level of P<0.05.
Results: All three groups (AT+Vit D, AT, Vit D groups) showed a significant decrease in BW, BMI, BFP, WC, TC, TG, LDL, MAP, and glucose and an increase in HDL. Also, the results showed that AT+Vit D group compared with AT, Vit D, and C groups led to significant reductions in BW, MAP and Glucose TC, TG, and LDL and an increase in HDL (P<0.001 for all three variables).
Conclusions: AT+Vit D is more effective in the improvement of lipid profile in patients with NAFLD than AT or Vit D alone.
