Background and purpose: Every type of exercises could lead to different immune responses in human body. The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of endurance exercises (EE), resistance exercises (RE) and concurrent exercises (CE) on serum interleukin-17 (IL-17) concentrations and number of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils in active men.
Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy young and active men (Age: 21.69±2.66; BMI: 21.92±1.89; Fat%: 14.49±3.05) voluntarily participated in this study and randomly were assigned into three groups: EE (n=7), RE (n=6) and CE (n=7). Subjects performed special exercise protocol for each group consisted of 45 minute. IL-17 serum concentrations were measured by ELISA method and so numbers of some classes of leukocytes were computed (Pre, immediate and 1 hour post-exercises). Data were analyzed using Repeated-Measures analysis of variance, One-Way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc and Paird T-test at the significance level of α=0.05
Results: Changes in the serum levels of interleukin-17 was significantly different between groups immediately after exercise and 1 h post-exercise. Also, lymphocytes and neutrophils numbers 1 h post-exercise and monocytes and neutrophils numbers, 1 h post-exercise compared to basal levels were significantly different between three exercise groups, respectively (p

Abstract
Background: Damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) depends on the extent of primary and secondary damages. The latter can cause induced neurological inflammation by releasing pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Measurement of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, ...

Background: Damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) depends on the extent of primary and secondary damages. The latter can cause induced neurological inflammation by releasing pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Measurement of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, can be useful in predicting outcome in patients with TBI.
Materials & Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 44 patients with GCS≤8 (Glasgow Coma Scale) and age ≥ 14 years, hospitalized in Poursina teaching hospital, were included in the study. Blood samples were collected from patients in the first 6 hours after the accident; and serum was tested by ELISA method for the determination of IL-6 levels. Patients' outcomes were recorded 6 months after head injury according to Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and were divided in two good (GOS ≥4) and bad (GOS

Background: The risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the elderly, obese and sedentary population is high. Exercise can improve metabolic disorders associated with these diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks resistance exercises on C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and lipid biomarkers in sedentary middle-aged men.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2012 in the city of Sari. In this study, 24 subjects were randomly divided into two groups; experimental and control group (each group 12). The resistance exercise program was performed for eight weeks, 3 times a week, 90 minutes per session, with intensity of 60-70 one repetition maximum. Blood samples were collected before and after the exercise intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 15 and P
