Acute Effect of Continuous Running on White Blood Cell (Wbc) Among Physically Trained Boys
Introduction: In this research, the examination of the acute effect of continuous running on the white blood cell status of physically trained boys has been aimed. Methods: Ten (10) physical education male students with an average age of 23.16±1.85 years participated in this study voluntarily.

Wolbachia Impacts Anaplasma Infection in Ixodes scapularis Tick Cells
The specific interactions of members of tick bacterial microbiota and their effects on pathogen transmission remains relatively unexplored. Here, we introduced a novel Wolbachia infection type into Ixodes scapularis tick cells and examined the antipathogenic effects on the intracellular pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum . An increase in A. phagocytophilum replication was observed in Wolbachia -infected tick cells. However, Wolbachia infection de…

Comparison of BMI and percentage of body fat of Indian and German children and adolescents
Today, serious health problems as overweight and obesity are not just constricted to the developed world, but also increase in the developing countries (Prentice 2006, Ramachandram et al. 2002). Focusing on this issue, BMI and percentage of body fat were compared in 2094 schoolchildren from two cross-sectional studies from India and Germany investigated in 2008 and 2009. The German children are in all age groups significantly taller, whereas the …

Interrelationship of waist circumference and subcutaneous fat with metabolic and blood pressure measures among Asian Indian men
People of South Asian origin (e.g. Indians) usually have a more centralized distribution of body fat with thick trunk skinfolds and markedly higher mean waist circumference (WC) for a given level of body fat percentage compared to Europeans and are exceedingly susceptible to coronary heart disease (CHD) worldwide. Owing to ethnic heterogeneity, population specific information on the interrelationship of fat topography with metabolic and blood pre…

Age and sex variation of body mass index and waist circumference among the Santal children of Jharkhand, India
Central body fat (CBF) as measured by waist circumference (WC) etc. has now been considered as risk factor for chronic disease, disability, and death. It has been assumed that one's characteristic level of body fat, as measured by body mass index (BMI), and CBF unfolds during the normal course of growth and development. However, studies of the development of CBF show relatively weak consistency in comparison to body fat. But to the best of our kn…
