Comparison of influence of aerobic exercise, in water walking and yogic exercise, on 3-methoxy –4-hydroxy phenyl glycol-sulfate in depressed girls

AbstractDepression is a clinical disorder distinguished by physiological and psychological markers. Some studies have indicated that during depression some neural chemical transmitters including epinephrine are reduced. It seems that these chemical changes can cause depression symptoms. 3-metoxy-hydroxyphenyl glycol-sulphate (MHPG) is a metabolite of epinephrine that released from presynaptic nerve terminals of central nervous system and became sulphate in brain. It cross the blood-brain barrier and showed as a sulphate combination in urine. The propose of this proposal, was to determine the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise, walking in water and yogic exercise on urine MHPG sulphate in the depressed girls
