“…Besides the induced-deterioration of liver disease by high leptin levels, overweight is the main risk factor for the development of IR and type 2 DM among HCV patients [11]. Besides its importance for maintaining the normal mental, physical, psychological health issues [12][13][14][15], exercise promotes the health of the liver, relieves the side effects of medications, improves immunity, promotes the sense of well-being, enhances weight maintenance and/or loss, lowers the sensation of chronic fatigue, improves blood oxygen levels, and enhances the full-energized sensation by the excretion of endorphins in HCV patients [16].…”

Introduction: Leptin is one of the new adipokines that reflects the pathological status of liver tissue in the chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). This study aimed to investigate the leptin and liver enzymes responses to aerobic exercise (AE) in overweight nondiabetics with HCV.Material and methods: Forty nondiabetic non-cirrhotic HCV men aged 40-60 years old with a body mass index (BMI) varied from 25-29.9 kg/m2 were divided randomly to study and control groups. The study group (n = 20) received a 3-session continuous moderate-intensity AE per week for 12 weeks while the control group (n = 20) were advised to maintain their normal level of physical activity. Pre and post measurements of weight, BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose (FBG), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and leptin were measured for all forty patients.Results: Statistical ANOVA analysis revealed a post-treatment significant statistical decrease of all variables within the study group (p < 0.05) while the control group showed a non-significant difference of all measurements. Post-treatment between-group analysis showed a significant statistical difference in FBG, ALT, AST, and leptin in favor of the study group.Conclusions: To restore the normal hepatic cellular functions and to prevent HCV-induced hepatic fibrosis, AE is a strong therapeutic modality that lowers leptin levels via weight maintenance and/or loss, increased glucose uptake, and declined liver enzymes.

“…Isolation-induced tension raises IOP, causing glaucoma to worsen [6]. During the first, second, and third waves of the COVID-19 disaster, there were repeated demands for health professionals, including physiotherapists, to engage in home-based exercise services for patients with chronic diseases to reduce tension, mental restlessness, and psychological distress caused by social isolation [7][8][9].…”

“…Some of these health issues (stress and depression) are evoked in samples of quarantined people to be persistent after the quarantine was discontinued. During the aging cycle, besides the low resilience of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) or stress axis, the low adaptive recovery from repeated stress exposures negatively impacts COPD progression [1].…”

Introduction:The increased by-COVID mortality rate especially in comorbid diseased patients may increase psychological stress by over-activating the stress axis. Investigating the effect of home-based physical activity (HBPA) on stress axis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients (COPD) was the study's aim.Material and methods: Forty stable COPD men aged 55-68 years were randomly divided to study or control groups. The study group (n = 20) received 8-week home-based PA, 3 sessions weekly, while the control group (n = 20) didn't receive HBPA. The following measurements were done for both groups: body mass index (BMI), pulmonary function test (PFT), cortisol, interleukin-8 (IL-8), the total score of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) as an assessment health-related quality-of-life tool, hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and 6-minute walking test (6MWT).Results: All variables of the control-COPD group showed a non-significant improvement. Except BMI and PFT, the pre-to-post comparison of the study group's
