Background: Obesity in patients is followed by decreased kidney function and leads to renal damage in healthy people. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise with and without green tea consumption on kidney function in sedentary postmenopausal women.Materials and Methods: Out of 60 volunteers, 29 sedentary postmenopausal women with a body mass index higher than 25 kg/m2 were randomly divided into three groups, exercise, supplement and exercise+supplement. Aerobic exercise program was performed for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week and each session for 45 minutes at 65-75 % of maximum heart rate. Supplement groups consumed 6 g of green tea powder in 600 ml of almost boiling water (80 °) daily and one hour before their meals for 8 weeks. Combined group performed exercise and consumed supplement, simultaneously.Results: In supplement group, creatinine levels (p=0.048) decreased significantly; While none of the variables in exercise group (uric acid (p=0.432), urea (p=0.681) and creatinine (p=1)) and exercise+supplement group (uric acid (p=0.597), urea (p=0.270) and creatinine (p=0.235)) had no significant change. Between groups changes in any of the variables was not significant too.Conclusion: Eight weeks of aerobic exercises in water alone and in combination with green tea consumption did not improve renal function in obese and overweight postmenopausal women, while green tea consumption alone decreased serum creatinine and improved renal function.

Background and Objective: Abuse of anabolic steroids to increase concerns about the harmful effects of these drugs on different organs, including the kidneys has increased. Sports activities such as swimming does not modify the effects of anabolic steroids. In this study, the effects of anabolic steroids with or without swimming the public and biochemical changes in renal tissue of rats was performed.Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 32 male rats Wistar, with an average weight of 20 ± 220 g in the form of four groups of nandrolone alone 10 mg / kg (n = 8), nandrolone and forced swim 10 mg / gr (n = 8), forced swim alone (n = 8) and controls (n = 8) were divided. In this study, urine samples were collected to measure biochemical variables. : Data obtained with the software spss version 21 Test and one-way ANOVA significant level P≤0 / 05 was performed.Results: H & E and PAS staining nandrolone decanoate + exercise groups compared with control groups and sports inflammation of the glomeruli, tubular atrophy, the number of leukocytes was more evident.Conclusion: The results of swimming exercise any impact on different parts of the kidney of male rats does not allow the use of nandrolone could be change in these sectors.Keywords: nandrolone, sports, swimming, stained H & E, coloring PAS, rats, creatinine, urea
