Abstract
Background: Exercise seems to be effective on factors associated with diseases such as obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high intensity interval and continuous training on GDF15 and IL6 in overweight men.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. For this purpose, 36 overweight young people in Ahar were selected as a sample and randomly divided into Intense Intensity Exercise (HIIT), Continuous Exercise (MICT) and Control. The training protocol was performed three days a week for eight weeks. 48 hours before the first training session, blood samples were taken from 5 cc of the brachial artery to assess the levels of GDF15 and interleukin 6 by ELISA. The post-test was repeated exactly with the pre-test conditions. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS software version 20 using analysis of covariance.
Results: The results showed that the mean of IL6 was significantly different between the groups (P = 0.029) so that the mean of IL-6 in the control group was significantly higher than the other two groups and in the HIIT group was significantly higher than the MICT group. Another result is the lack of significant difference in mean GDF15 between the three groups.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that performing HIIT and MICT exercises can improve the cardiovascular status of overweight people by changing the factors affecting cardiovascular conditions such as GDF-15 and IL-6. There is no difference in the use of the two exercises, also.

Abstract
Background: There is ample evidence in the study of the association of inflammatory reactions with the pathogenesis and complications of diabetes, especially hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. This study aimed to the effect of high intensity interval training and caloric restriction on inflammatory factors and PLIN3 visceral adipose tissue in male diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods: 32 diabetic male Wistar rats was randomly divided into three subgroups: HIIT, control and caloric restriction. In the caloric restriction group, 40% of the calorie intake was restricted and other groups received the standard food they needed freely. Relative protein expression of PLIN3 was performed using western blot technique and TNF-α and IL-6 by ELISA. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test.
Result: There was a significant difference between the mean of PLIN3, IL-6 and TNF-α in the three groups (P=0.001). The results of post hoc test showed a significant increase in PLIN3 and a significant decrease in IL-6 and TNF-α in the caloric restriction group and intense intermittent exercise compared to the diabetic control group (P=0.001).
Conclusion: HIIT and caloric restriction may increase lipid oxidation by increasing PLIN3 expression. Considering the role of TNF-α and IL-6 in increasing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, reducing these factors during the present study may be helpful in preventing these metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The secretion and activation of cytokines play a significant role in the pathogenesis of scorpion venom. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Hemiscorpius lepturus scorpion venom fractions on the release of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α cytokines in male rats.
Methods: In this study, scorpion venom was divided into six fractions using chromatography. A total of 180 male rats were randomly assigned to 15 equal groups, and the fractions were administered at two doses of 1000 µg/kg and 3000 µg/kg (equivalent to 1/2 and 3/1 LD50). The groups included one control group, one group treated with raw venom at a dose of 1000 µg/kg, one group treated with raw venom at a dose of 3000 µg/kg, six groups treated with venom fractions at 1000 µg/kg, and six groups treated with venom fractions at 3000 µg/kg. All treatments were administered intraperitoneally. Blood samples were collected at 1, 3, 6, and 24 hours post-injection, and cytokine levels were measured using laboratory kits.
Results: The results showed that the activity of all cytokines was significantly higher in the raw venom groups compared to the control group and other experimental groups (P<0.05). The highest effect was observed in the raw venom group, followed by fraction 2, and then fraction 6, which showed the most significant impact.
Conclusion: Fraction 2 of Hemiscorpius lepturus scorpion venom appears to be the most important component responsible for inducing inflammation and inflammatory symptoms in the body.
