Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of boldenone and Resistance training on Hematological profile and spleen structure in Wistar rats. 47 male Wistar rats aged 12 weeks (weight 195±7.94 g) were randomly divided into seven groups: control, sham, boldenone-1, boldenone-2, Resistance training, Resistance training+boldenone-1, Resistance training+boldenone-2. Resistance training program includes six weeks of climbing a ladder for 5 sessions, 3 sets, 5 repetitions, and one-minute resting between sets with 50% 1RM in the first week and 100% 1RM in the final week. Injection once a week, on an appointed day, and in the quadriceps and hamstring was conducted in depth. After anesthesia, autopsy was performed and the spleen Isolated. Selected microscopic sections, then stained with hematoxylin and eosin were studied with microscopic. Spleen injury was determined based on histological criteria. Data were analyzed by T-Test, one-way ANOVA and post hoc LSD at the significant level P
