Abstract
Background: Several studies and research have shown a higher prevalence of celiac disease (CD) and elevation of serum antibody (AGA-IgA & IgA-tTG & EMA-IgA ) in patient with diabetes mellitus type I (T1DM) in versus general and non-diabetic population. Thus screening of CD is recommended in T1DM). This study was conducted to compare frequency of celiac disease in patients with T1DM and healthy persons.
Methods: As a case-control study,60 patient with T1DM that reffered to endocrine clinic of Qazvin’s Boo-Ali hospital , in nearly one year period were enrolled as case group. 60 non-diabetic healthy subjects with age and sex matched, were selected as control group. Blood levels of Total IgA, AGA-IgA and IgA-tTG were measured in all of them, subjects who had elevated of both AGA-IgA and IgA-tTG underwent an upper GI endoscopy and biopsy was done from distal part of duodenum.
Results: Any one in case group hadn't IgA deficiency. 14 subjects in control and 12 subjects in case group had positive AGA-IgA that there was no significant difference between them . 2 subject of case group had positive IgA-tTG. Duodenal biopsy in 1 of 14 cases who had elevated AGA-IgA )1 of 2 cases who had elevated IgA-tTG) , revealed total villous atrophy indicating CD (Type IIIC with revised Marsh criteria 2001) and in other cases pathologic findings were normal or with nonspecific changes.
Conclusion: Frequency of CD in T1DM in our study is 1.67%. There is not any significant difference between case and control groups in prevalence of Celiac disease . But we conclused that screening with AGA-IgA is not a reliable screening test for CD , because there is not significant difference between T1DM and general population .

Abstract
Background: Aloe vera is a herbal plant being used as an anti-inflammatory agent, burning recovery as well as immune system boosting agent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera on blood glucose , lipids and lipoproteins in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats.
Methods: This study was carried out on 56 male rats, weighing 150-200 gr. Animals are divided into 7 groups (one control and six test groups). Diabetes were induced in test groups via streptozocin (65mg/ kg-IP). After a week, blood samples analyses for FBS. All diabetic groups, except the control one, were taken 100,200,300,400 mg/kg Aloe vera extract and 5mg/kg glibenclamid by gavages for a period of 4 weeks, respectively. After this period fasting blood samples were collected from all groups.
Results:The results showed that the FBS decreased in groups that received 400mg/kg and glibenclamid (respectively,162/62±23.12and193.37±26.51). In addition, 3-6 groups showed decrease TG and Cholesterol level in comparison with those of control groups. In all groups which received Aloe vera and glibenclamid, LDL level were significantly decreased in comparison with control groups but HDL level had no change.
Conclusion: The results of this research indicate that Aloe vera aqueous extract lead to decreased Blood glucose, Cholesterol, LDL and TG levels. Further studies is suggested for exact mechanism of Aloe vera in diabetic rats.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its association with coronary heart disease (CHD) in Iranian older individuals.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the prevalence of the MetS was determined according to the Third Adult Treatment Panel (ATPIII), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definitions in 720 men and women aged≥65 years. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the Odds Ratio (OR) of developing CHD in model 1 an age adjusted model, in model 2 adjusted for age, smoking status, premature history of CHD and LDL cholesterol and in model 3 adjusted for mentioned variables in model 2 plus the components of the MetS according to each definition.
Results: The prevalence of MetS was 50.8%, 41.9% and 41.8% by ATPIII, IDF and the WHO definitions, respectively. IDF had high agreement with the ATPIII definition. In model 2, the ATPIII and the WHO definitions of MetS were associated with CHD by the odds ratio of 1.6 (1.1-2.2) and 1.7 (1.9-2.4), respectively. In model 3, obesity (WHO definition) and high blood pressure (ATPIII and WHO definitions) were associated with CHD.
Conclusion: As defined by the ATPIII and WHO definitions, the MetS was associated with CHD even after adjustment for the conventional CHD risks, but after further adjustment for their components none of these definitions showed association with CHD.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes is considered as one of the health problems in all societies. Exercise training
and drug interventions, especially herbal medicines, consider as approaches to improving diabetes.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of aerobic training and Pistacia
atlantica extract consumption on pancreatic β-cells function in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Methods: Thirty six male Wistar rats divided into five groups: normal control, diabetic control,
diabetes+aerobic training, diabetes+extract, diabetes+aerobic training+extract. Diabetes was induced
by intra-peritoneal injection of streptozotocin (40mg/kg). Exercise program was include 6 weeks of
aerobic training on a treadmill (5 sessions per week, 40 minutes per session, with a speed of 20m/min
and 5% incline). Extract groups were received Pistacia atlantica extract based on body weight, at the
end of each training session. After 6 weeks of aerobic training and Pistacia atlantica extract
consumption, plasma glucose and insulin levels were measured for determination of β-cells function
(HOMA-B). Data were analyzed via ANOVA, with a significant level P<0.05.
Results: HOMA-B index in diabetic control group was significantly higher than normal control group
(P=0.0001). Also mean of HOMA-B index in diabetes+extract and diabetes+exercise training+extract
groups was significantly lower than diabetic control group (P values 0.003, 0.001 respectively) and
between mean of HOMA-B index in diabetic control group with diabetes+aerobic training group were
observed no significant differences (P=0.052).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that Pistacia atlantica extract consumption, alone and
along with aerobic training leads to significant improvement in pancreatic β-cells function in diabetic
rats. Also extract consumption along with aerobic training in comparison to training alone has had
greater impact on the improvement of pancreatic β-cells function. It seems that aerobic training along
with the use of specific herbal plants can be considered as a complementary therapy in improvement
of diabetics.

Abstract
Background:Diabetes mellitus is regarded as a major health problem due to its complications that these,nonetheless could be prevented or delayed with changes and modifications in the patients’ behavior and dietby understanding their beliefs..The objective of this study was to explore the utility of the Theory of PlannedBehavior (TPB)and complications of diabetes perceived risk to find modifiable diabetes-related believes inorder to make behavior changes feasible.
Methods: The presentdescriptive-analytical cross sectional study was conducted in Semirom Diabetes Clinicbased on the TPBand complications of diabetes perceived risk, using a self-administered questionnaire. Atotal of 154 diabetic patients without complications of diabetes were participated in the study. Measured variables were patients’ attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, complications of diabetesperceived risk, intention to eat a healthful diet and nutritional style. Structural equation modeling was used toanalyze data.
Results:The results revealed that the TPBand complications of diabetes perceived risk fitted the data
acceptably well among the Type 2 diabetes and within dietary behavior. Perceived behavioral control,
subjective norm, complications of diabetes perceived risk and intention to eat a healthy diet were related tohealthy diet behavior. No relation was found between attitude and intention to eat a healthy diet.
Conclusion:The TPB and complications of diabetes perceived risk is a useful theory in determining
intentions of diabetic patients’ and their adherence to healthy diets. TPB and complications of diabetes perceived risk forms a framework for promoting dietary practice among Type 2 diabetic patien

Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was the investigation effect of gender on plasma glucose, insulin and insulin resistance index in response to acute endurance activity and subsequent recovery periods in healthy individuals.
Methods: Eight females and seven males 20-30 years old (females 22.37±1.50 and men 23.42±1.27 years old, female weight 55.50±8.14 men and 79.85±15.16 kg, women height 160.12 ± 4.18 men and 179.71±6.57 cm) voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects performed two control activities during two consecutive weeks. The implementation of the sessions was randomly determined for each subject. Exercise program consisted of 45 min acute endurance at 75% of maximum heart rate on the treadmill and subsequently the subject was in a sitting position for one clock recovery. Four blood samples (6 ml) before and immediately after exercise, as well as 1 and 24 hours after the activity was collected. Two-way analysis of variance for data analysis was used.
Results: Regardless of gender, effects of activity and recovery on plasma insulin and insulin resistance index was significant (p <0.05) but not significant for glucose. Also when the data were corrected by changes in plasma volume, similar results were observed for insulin. Although changes of all factors (glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance) in response to activity session of acute exercise endurance was higher in men than in woman, gender has not significant effect on factors.
Conclusion: acute endurance activity and recovery induce change in insulin resistance index but these changes were not related to gender.

Abstract
Background: Physical activity is an effective stimulant for improving the health of elderly people with metabolic syndrome by increasing energy consumption and thus reducing body fat. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity circuit training (HICT) on serum BDNF and Irisin levels and body weight in elderly women with metabolic syndrome in Khorramabad city.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 18 females (age 71.00 ± 6.17 years; weight 62.22 ± 9.18 kg; height 153.67 ± 3.27 cm) with metabolic syndrome voluntarily participated. During their daily routine, the subjects participated in an 8-week HICT protocol that performed 3 sessions per week. 24 hours before the training protocol and 48 hours after the training protocol, the fasting blood sample was taken by the laboratory expert between 7:30 minutes to 8 hours. ELISA kits were used to measure serum levels of BDNF and Irisin. The paired-Samples T test was used to identify any significant differences and statistical significance was set at p < .05.
Results: The results showed a significant increase in serum BDNF (p = .001) and Irisin (p = .033) levels and significant decrease in body weight (p = .001) in comparison with pre-test values in elderly women with metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: High intensity circuit training in elderly women with metabolic syndrome increases serum BDNF and Irisin concentrations and possibly, the increase in these two factors can have beneficial effects on the lipid profile and finally body weight of these individuals.
