Background: Elevated HbA1c, cardio-vascular and immune dysfunctions are common complications of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D), which can be improved by aerobic and resistance exercises, respectively. Therefore, effects of combined aerobic and resistance exercises in acute and chronic conditions might also have beneficial health outcomes and was investigated.Objective: Determine the effects of combined aerobic and resistance exercises on serum n...

Heparan sulphate (HS) is a highly complex linear polysaccharide found attached to core proteins both on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. Newly synthesized HS chains are modified by a family of enzymes, many of which have multiple isoforms with differing substrate preferences. These modifications include the addition of sulphate groups at up to four positions on each disaccharide unit. The pattern of modifications a HS saccharide undergoes alters its structure,...
