Background: Consumption of anabolic steroids causes damage to various tissues, including the heart.  Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Resistance Training (RT) on Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Protein Carbonyl (PC) in the heart tissue of rats exposed to stanozolol (S). Methods: In this experimental study, 18 rats with the mean age of 8 weeks and weight range of 150 to 200 g were selected and divided into three groups of 6 rats: 1. Sham (normal saline consumption) (Sh), 2. S, and 3. S+RT. For 8 weeks, the S and S+RT groups received 5 mg/kg/d S, and the S+RT group performed 5 RT sessions per week. Measurement of MDA and PC in the heart tissue was performed with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Stanozolol had a significant effect on increasing MAD (P=0.001) and PC (P=0.03) in the heart tissue. However, RT led to a decrease in MDA and PC in the heart tissue of rats exposed to S (P=0.001). Conclusion: It appears that S consumption leads to an increase in MDA and PC levels in the heart tissue, while RT can improve the elevated levels of MDA and PC.

SummaryThis report describes the binding of plasminogen to fibrinogen adsorbed onto polystyrene wells. Binding was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Both glu- and lys-plasminogen bound to immobilized fibrinogen in a dose-dependent fashion. However, more lys- than glu-plasminogen bound when equal concentrations of either were added to immobilized fibrinogen. Plasminogen binding was inhibited by epsilon aminocaproic acid indicating that binding was mediated via lysine-binding regions of plasminogen. Soluble fibrinogen added in excess of immobilized fibrinogen did not compete for plasminogen binding but fibrinogen fragments produced by plasmin digestion of fibrinogen did. Treatment of immobilized fibrinogen with thrombin caused a small but significant (p <0.01) increase in plasminogen binding. These studies demonstrate that immobilized fibrinogen binds both glu- and lys-plasminogen and that binding is mediated via lysine-binding regions. These interactions may facilitate plasminogen binding to fibrinogen adsorbed on to surfaces and to cells such as platelets which bind fibrinogen.

SummaryAn increased level of plasma thrombomodulin (TM) in α- and β- thalassaemia was demonstrated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Nonsplenectomized patients with β-thalassaemia/ haemoglobin E (BE) had higher levels of TM than splenectomized cases (BE-S). Patients with leg ulcers (BE-LU) were found to have the highest increase in TM level. Appearance of larger platelets in all types of thalassaemic blood was observed indicating an increase in the number of younger platelets. These data indicate that injury of vascular endothelial cells is present in thalassaemic patients.
