Abstract :

The current study examines the trend of studies by Iranian researchers in the field of the simultaneous effect of aerobic exercises and natural and synthetic antioxidant supplements on liver tissue apoptosis: a bibliographic analysis. In order to carry out this study, keywords including aerobic exercise or endurance exercise and apoptosis or organized cell death and liver or hepatocyte were selected. Then these key words were entered in the database of the recipients to search for articles. Then, the obtained articles were converted with the RIS format from the database of the receivers and outputted from it and entered into the VOSviewer software for further analysis. The results showed that 55 authors published 14 articles, with an average of 3.92 ± 0.61 authors per article. Based on the organizational affiliation of the responsible author, out of 14 published articles, 11 articles were written by faculty members of Islamic Azad University (78%), 2 articles by faculty members of Mazandaran University (15%) and one article by faculty members of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. 7%) has been published. Out of fourteen published articles, twelve articles (85%) have been published in the journals of medical sciences universities and two articles (15%) have been published in the journals of the Ministry of Science. The results of this study showed that both aerobic exercise and antioxidant supplements have reduced the process of liver tissue apoptosis in disease and poisoning conditions.
