Background & objective : In this study we investigated the effect of concurrent aerobic exercise and inhalation iron oxide nanoparticles on hepatic enzymes; ALT, AST, ALP and histological hepatic appearance.
Design: This study was an experimental study with post-test and control group.
Inclusion criteria: public health; physical ability; normal limbs.
Exclusion criteria: physical disability.
48 wistar rats with a mean weight of 250gr were randomly divided into six equal groups including of the experimental 1(aerobic, exercise), experimental 2(nanoparticle, anesthesia), experimental 3(aerobic exercise, nanoparticles & anesthesia), placebo 4(distillated water, anesthesia), placebo 5(aerobic exercise, anesthetists), and control group. In group 2 and 3,40mg/ kgbw iron oxide nanoparticles injected every other day for a period of 14 days with lung induction method. Groups 4, 1, and 3 had to run on treadmill everyday for 30 minutes with the intensity of 35% to 40%VO2max. Intervention: intratracheal instillation of iron oxide nanoparticles, aerobic exercise. Main Outcome Measures (variables): 24 hours after last exercise session blood samples were analyzed to measure the amount of hepatic enzymes(ALT, AST, ALP). For histopathology examination the tissue sections were studied by light microscope.
