According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a healthy lifestyle is defined as a way of living that lowers the risk of becoming seriously ill or dying prematurely. Physical activity, as a well-known contributor to overall health, plays a vital role in supporting such a lifestyle. Exercise induces complex molecular responses that mediate both acute metabolic stress and long-term physiological adaptations. FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21) and GDF15 (growth differentiation factor 15) are recognized as metabolic stress markers, while their receptors play critical roles in cellular signaling. However, the differential gene expression patterns of these molecules in trained and untrained individuals following exhaustive exercise remain poorly understood. This study aimed to examine the transcriptional and protein-level responses in trained and untrained individuals performed a treadmill maximal exercise test to voluntary exhaustion. Blood samples were collected at six time points (pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, and 0.5 h, 6 h, 24 h, and 48 h post-exercise). Gene expression of Show less

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant public health problem because it is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Several studies have investigated the associations between CAD and polymorphisms in genes connected with platelet aggregation and the risk of venous thromboembolism. In this study, we examined the associations between polymorphisms in There were no significant differences in the distribution of the studied polymorphisms between the patients with unstable angina and the controls. In patients with the The results of this study suggest a lack of association between Show less
