Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an eight-week combined exercise training program with sweet almond supplementation on plasma levels of leptin and orexin in overweight women. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study. The statistical population consisted of 60 overweight women with a body mass index (BMI) of 25-30 kg/m2 who were randomly divided into four groups of training, training-sweet almond supplement, supplement, and control. The participants participated in three training sessions weekly and consumed sweet almond supplementation for eight consecutive weeks. The participants' blood samples were taken 24 hours before the first session and after the last session, in a 12-hour fasting state. Liptin concentrations were measured using Pishtaz Teb Inc. kits. Orexin levels were determined through enzymatic method using the Virro Inc. kit. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to analyze the inter- and intra-group variance. The overall alpha significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05 for all the statistical analyses. Results: Eight weeks of combined exercise training with sweet almond supplementation Showed a significant reduces in serum level leptin concentration and increased the plasma orexin levels. Conclusion: According to the results of the present study It can be used from combined training and sweet almonds to reduce appetite and lose weight in overweight women.

Abstract Background Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyC), a cardiac contractile protein, is a novel biomarker of myocardial injury, rising earlier and disappearing faster than cardiac troponins. It is a promising biomarker for use in triage of patients with chest pain presenting in the emergency department. It also has prognostic significance in patients with heart failure. However, the effects of systematic exercise training on plasma levels of cMyC has previously not been evaluated. Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a 12-week exercise training program on changes in plasma levels of cMyC in patients with chronic symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The changes in plasma levels of cMyC in an intervention group, performing structured exercise programs, were compared to those in a control group, instructed to perform regular recommended exercise (RRE) according to current guidelines. Methods This was a post hoc analysis of the SMARTEX-HF trial in 215 patients with symptomatic HF with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) <35% and NYHA II-III. The patients were randomly assigned to High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT, n=77), Moderate Continuous Training (MCT, n=65) or RRE, (n=73) for 12 weeks. HIIT and MCT groups constituted the intervention group (IG). Measurements and clinical data were acquired before and after the 12-week intervention. Statistical analysis We divided the patients in two groups with Δ VO2Peak above and below the median of the sample. The absolute changes of cMyC were then compared between the two groups. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare continuous variables between the groups. Chi-squared test and Fisher exact test were used to compare categorical variables, as appropriate. A two-tailed p<0.05 was considered significant. Results There were no differences in changes of cMyC plasma levels, measured at baseline and after the intervention, between patients in the IG and RRE-group (p=0.580). When dividing the entire study population according to Δ VO2Peak higher or lower than median value 0.48 ml/kg/min, we found a statistically significant greater reduction of cMyC values after 12 weeks of exercise training for those with higher than median Delta VO2Peak values compared to those with lower values (p=0.012). This finding was even stronger for the percentage change in cMyC levels (p=0.004 between groups). Conclusion In patients with symptomatic chronic HFrEF performing a structured 12-week exercise training program, a greater increase in Δ VO2Peak is significantly associated with a reduction in cMyC, suggesting cMyC may provide a dynamic measure of cardiorespiratory state.

Cardiac Troponins

Abstract Background Low-level elevation of cardiac troponins has been associated with adverse outcome, and concentrations even within the normal range provide independent information concerning risk in heart failure (HF). Exercise training exerts many beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, and longitudinal observational data from epidemiological studies suggest that higher physical activity (PA) is associated with lower concentrations of cardiac troponins. Purpose Our aim was to compare changes in plasma troponin I (TnI) levels (Abbott Diagnostics) in patients with symptomatic heart failure undergoing a 12 week structured exercise training program (Intervention group, IG) with changes in controls on a recommendation of regular exercise (RRE); control group, (CG) in a randomized clinical trial. Methods This was a post hoc analysis of the SMARTEX-HF trial in 199 patients with symptomatic HF with LVEF <35% and NYHA II-III. The patients were randomly assigned to High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT, n=73), Moderate Continuous Training (MCT, n=59) or RRE, (n=67) for 12 weeks. HIIT and MCT groups constituted the intervention group (IG). Measurements and clinical data acquired before and after the 12-week exercise training intervention were analysed. Statistical analysis Changes of TnI levels from baseline to 12 weeks are presented as medians and interquartile ranges. One-sample Wilcoxon sign rank test was used to determine if for a specific group of patients, the median change of troponin levels was equal to zero. In addition, Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare reductions of TnI between two groups. Results After 12 weeks plasma levels of TnI were reduced for all patients (median 11.9 to 11.4 ng/L, p=0.032) and there was no difference between the study groups (p=0.072). However, when the groups were studied separately, reduction of plasma levels of TnI was statistically significant in the IG only (12.5 to 11.7 ng/L, p=0.011), (CG 11.4 to 10.7 ng/L, p=0.955). For the study cohort restricted to patients without additional complicating factors (i.e. no atrial fibrillation, no history of hypertension, diabetes or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, n=77), difference in changes of plasma levels of TnI between IG (n=54) and CG (n=23) was found to be statistically significant (p=0.004). IG changed from 11.3 to 9.5 ng/L (p=0.002), (CG 12.6 to 12.7 ng/L, p=0.467). Conclusions A 12 weeks exercise-training program was associated with a reduction of plasma TnI levels in patients with mild to moderate HFrEF without additional complicating factors.

Abstract Abstract 3984 Poster Board III-920 Background Exercise training is an effective treatment for lower limb arterial claudication and may also have the potential to improve the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Objectives We conducted a randomized, allocation concealed, controlled, assessor-blinded multicenter pilot trial to provide preliminary data on the effectiveness of a 6-month exercise training program in improving the PTS. Methods Patients aged 18-75 years with unilateral DVT diagnosed >6 months previously and ipsilateral PTS (Villalta criteria) were screened for participation in the trial at 2 centres in Canada (Montreal & Ottawa). Eligible, consenting patients were randomized to Active Training (AT), a 26-week trainer-supervised program consisting of leg strengthening, leg stretching and aerobic exercise, or Attention Control (AC), a 1-hour presentation on PTS + monthly phone follow-ups. Participants had study visits at Baseline (T0), 3 mths (T3) and 6 mths (T6) to measure generic (SF-36) and venous disease-specific (VEINES-QOL) quality of life (QOL), PTS severity (Villalta scale), leg strength (number of heel lifts) and leg flexibility (stretch angle, in degrees, for quadriceps, hamstring, gastrocnemius and soleus muscles). Within-subject changes from T0 to T6 were compared in AT vs. AC using repeated measures two-way ANOVA. Results From 2007-2008, 43 patients were recruited (21 randomized to AT, 22 to AC). Mean age was 47 years, 44% were male, and 49% had moderate or severe PTS. At 3 and 6 mths, PTS severity category improved in 65% of AT vs. 26% of AC (p=0.02) and 61% of AT vs. 46% of AC (p=ns), respectively. Other results are shown in Table (for all outcomes except Villalta score, + change signifies improvement from T0 to T6). Conclusion In our pilot trial, exercise training improved PTS severity, QOL, leg strength and leg flexibility in patients with PTS. Exercise training appears to be a promising modality to treat PTS, and a large, adequately powered trial is warranted.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Talk test (TT) is an alternative and accessible tool for prescribing and monitoring aerobic training intensity. Although the TT is reliable and valid for cardiorespiratory assessment, its responsiveness to exercise training remains unexplored. Purpose To evaluate the responsiveness of TT in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients who underwent an exercise training program. Methods Twenty-one CVD patients (61.7 ± 8.4 years) performed an exercise-training program on phase II of cardiac rehabilitation (45-min 3-times a week). The six-minute walk test (6MWT) and TT were done to assess functional capacity at baseline and after 8 weeks. In the individualized TT the treadmill’s speed and/or grade were increased every 2-min, with speed changes based on a reference equation for the 6MWT distance (6MWD). The subjects were asked to read a 38 words standard paragraph at the last 30s of each stage and to answer if they could talk comfortably. Answer options were i) YES (TT+), ii) UNCERTAIN (TT±), or iii) NO (TT-). The first ventilatory threshold (VT1) was identified by two reviewers using the heart rate variability analysis. A paired t-test was applied to analyze the TT duration and 6MWD. The VT1 and TT workload were analyzed by the Wilcoxon test. Spearman correlation was adopted to compare the TT± and VT1 stages. Results Improvement in the VT1 (2.9 ± 1.2 vs 4.4 ± 1.4 min; p < 0.001), duration (12.1 ± 4.4 vs 14.9 ± 5.2 min; p < 0.001), workload at TT- (67.8 ± 48.4 vs 104.5 ± 65.9 w; p < 0.001), and in the 6MWD (471.5 ± 100.3 vs 533.7 ± 92.9 m; p < 0.001) were observed. There was strong correlation between TT± and VT1 in pre (r = 0.613; p < 0.05) and post-rehabilitation (r = 0.678; p < 0.05). Conclusion Talk test performed on a treadmill showed responsiveness after eight weeks of exercise training, being sensitive to the physiological changes provided by the rehabilitation program in CVD patients.
