  Rehabilitation training in cardiac patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) improves several physiological capacities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of combined training on plasma levels and ghrelin gene expression in PBMNC among CABG patients. In this quasi-experimental study, 30 cardiac patients of Javad Al-Aemeh cardiac specialty hospital of Mashhad, who underwent CABG operation, were selected using convenience and purposeful sampling method and randomly divided into two equal groups (n=15): combined training and control. The combined training group performed selected aerobic and resistance training protocols for eight weeks, three sessions per week. Before and after training program, body composition assessments and blood sampling were performed to measure variables. Then, the obtained data were analyzed using independent and dependent t-tests at the significance level of 0.05. Data analysis showed that combined training significantly reduces body weight and BMI and significantly increases plasma ghrelin levels and relative expression of ghrelin gene in PBMNC (P≤0.05). Additionally, a significant difference was observed between plasma ghrelin levels and relative expression of ghrelin gene in PBMNC of training group compared to control group (P≤0.05). It seems that eight weeks of combined rehabilitation training increases plasma levels and ghrelin gene expression in PBMNC among CABG patients and can promote desirable physiological adaptations in cardiovascular health.

  Coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in today's societies. It is associated to the exercise activity and the expression of some genes involved in the blood cholesterol transmission. Adenosine triphosphate-dependent box protein 8 is a member of ABC transporter family which plays a key role in the metabolism of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cholesterol. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of aerobic resistance training on ABCG8 gene expression and lipid profile in CABG patients. 30 men with CABG patients voluntarily selected and randomly divided into the experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The experimental group performed the aerobic resistance training for eight weeks (3 sessions per week) and the control group did not. Blood samples were taken 48 h before the first training session and 48 h after the last training session, while all subjects were fasting. Independent and paired t-test used to analyze the data at a significant level of 0.05. The present study's results showed that the aerobic resistance training group showed a significant increase in the ABCG8 mRNA expression and a significant decrease in LDL-C, triglyceride, and HDL-C as compared to the control group. Due to the findings of present study, it can be concluded that aerobic resistance training by increasing ABCG8 gene expression has a great effect on increasing the cholesterol transfer process; thus, it may improve the CABG patients and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
