Temporal effects of testosterone propionate injections on serum lipoprotein concentrations in rats
Article Abstract:
Testosterone propionate injections may reduce testicular mass and eventually decrease high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in rats. Rats received testosterone injections twice a week for seven weeks. After three weeks, testicular mass was reduced and peaked at five weeks. At seven weeks, HDL-C readings were much lower in the testosterone treated group compared to controls. No other aspects of the lipid profile changed, however.

Effect of endurance training and fasting on renal gluconeogenic enzymes in the rat
Article Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of endurance training of distinct renal gluconeogenic enzyme activities in the fed and 24-hr fasted state in rats. The results suggest that the maximal enzymes activities for cPEPCK and mPC can be augmented because of fasting that was independent of the training status.

Hot gel packs and reduction of delayed-onset muscle soreness 30 minutes after treatment
Article Abstract:
The effectiveness of hot and cold gel packs in reducing delayed-onset muscle (DOMS) 30 minutes after treatment is examined. The findings suggest that superficial heat can attenuate DOMS 30 minutes after treatment.
