Abstract

Abstract: Pregnancy is a critical period involving significant physiological and psychological changes, particularly in primigravida women who are more susceptible to anxiety and stress. Elevated stress levels during pregnancy may increase the risk of complications like high blood pressure, preeclampsia, and premature delivery. Non-pharmacological interventions like Hatha Yoga and gymnastic prenatalhave been widely recommended to improve maternal well-being. The purpose of this research was to evaluate and compare the impacts of two different interventions on maternal psychological and physiological health through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Relevant literature was retrieved from databases including Pubmed, Scopus, ScinceDirect, Google Scholar, focusing on research published between 2014 and 2024. The findings indicate that Hatha Yoga is more effective in reducing anxiety, cortisol levels, and systolic blood pressure, while prenatal gymnastic better supported diastolic blood pressure regulation and physical endurance for labor. Both interventions contribute to better cardiovascular function, increased oxygen saturation, and a smoother labor process. Additionally, yoga is associated with improved neonatal outcomes, while studies on prenatal exercise’s effects on newborn health remain limited. Future research should explore the long-term effects and key differences between these interventions to determine the most effective approach for maternal and neonatal health. These findings support integrating yoga and gymnastic prenatalinto antenatal care programs to enhance pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

Highlight: • AKT or protein kinase B increase protein synthesis and control the degradation of proteins. • Satellite cells was provided remarkable ability to regenerate skeletal muscle. • Stimulation of protein synthesis is effective therapy to maintain muscle mass, prevent muscle wasting to reduce risk sarcopenia and improve quality of life in the elderly. Abstract: Muscles have an important role as a regulator of glucose and triglyceride metabolism. Some researches show the correlation between skeletal muscle mass and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. Skeletal muscle mass decrease occurs due to chronic illness or physiological process of aging, thus increasing the risk of metabolic diseases as well as motion difficulty in the elderly. Skeletal muscle mass depends on balanced protein synthesis and degradation, controlled through a variety of signal transduction pathways including the AKT. AKT or protein kinase B increases protein synthesis through the mTOR and GSK3β and controls the degradation of proteins through FoxO transcription factors. Another factor that has an alleged role in the regulation of skeletal muscle is the satellite cells which provide remarkable ability to regenerate skeletal muscle. A comprehensive understanding of the biomolecular mechanism of muscle mass regulation is important to develop effective treatment or prevention of muscle atrophy in many cases, either caused by pathological conditions, such as chronic diseases, or the process of aging.
