Changes in SFRP5, WNT5A, HbA1c, BMI, PBF, and insulin resistance in men with type 2 diabetes after 12 weeks of combined exercise (HIIT and resistance)

The effects of exercise training induced calories expenditure on type 2 diabetes related cardio metabolic physiological parameters and adipocytokines

Background

Recently, many studies have examined the effects of various training on pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory adipocytes. The results of these studies are contradictory. Some have reported positive effects and others have reported negative effects. However, there is no research to study the effect of exercise on similar energy expenditures on adipocytes. Hence the purpose of this study was the effects exercise training induced calories expenditure on type 2 diabetes related cardio metabolic physiological parameters and adipocytokines.

Methods

Sixty-eight men patients with type 2 diabetes [12 weeks] were randomized to 4 groups according to training regimens. the groups are [1] HIIT [n = 17], [2] RT[n = 17], [3] AT[n = 18], and [4] AT + RT n = 16]. For 12 weeks [4 days/week, 20–30 min/season], participants performed training sessions with 300 kcal energy expenditure. Before and after 12 weeks interventions, Anthropometric and physiological variables and Glucose, insulin, FFA, LDL, HDL, TG, TC collected and analyses. Leptin, SFRP5, LGR4 and Irisin levels in Serum were assessment by ELISA.

Results

Serum irisin concentrations were significantly higher in AT [%20.4] compared to other groups. Leptin, SFRP5 and LGR4 were significantly higher in HIIT [%-21.7, %48.1 and %30.9 respectively] compared to other groups. Serum SFRP5 concentrations were significantly increased in 4 groups[P > 0.05]. However, leptin and LGR4 were significantly decreased and increased in 3 groups expect in RT group[P > 0.05]. And irisin concentrations were significantly increased in AT group only[P > 0.05]. And many variables indicated positive and negative relationship between together [P > 0.05].

Conclusions

The findings of the present study showed that if exercised with energy expenditure equal to HIIT training, it has the greatest effect on improving inflammatory and anti-inflammatory indicators in type 2 diabetic patients, as well as glycemic and lipid-chemical variables.

Exercise training modulates adipokine dysregulations in metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors for various metabolic diseases, and it is characterized by central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. The core component for MetS is adipose tissue, which releases adipokines and influences physical health. Adipokines consist of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and contribute to various physiological functions. Generally, a sedentary lifestyle promotes fat accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory adipokines. However, regular exercise has been known to exert various beneficial effects on metabolic and cognitive disorders. Although the mechanisms underlying exercise beneficial effects in MetS are not fully understood, changes in energy expenditure, fat accumulation, circulatory level of myokines, and adipokines might be involved. This review article focuses on some of the selected adipokines in MetS, and their responses to exercise training considering possible mechanisms.
