Abstract
Studies proved that Irisin and Krüppel-like factors15 have anti-apoptotic role on pancreatic beta-cells and stimulates beta-cell proliferation, insulin biosynthesis and secretion.
The aim of the present study was to the effect of eight weeks aerobic exercise training on Krüppel-like factors 15, Irisin and Insulin resistance in non-active obese men.
This semi experimental study was performed with pre-test and post- test designed with a training group and a control group. Twenty obese middle-aged men in the age range of 30-45 years old participated in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups. Aerobic exercise group (n = 10) and control group (n = 10). Exercise group performed eight weeks (3 sessions a week, from 50% maximum heart rate progressed gradually to 80% - 15 to 45 minutes) aerobic trainings. Blood samples were taken 24 hours before and 48 hours after training period. Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA at the significance level (p≤ 0.05).
The results showed that after eight weeks aerobic exercise training, Krüppel-like factors 15 (p = 0.006) and Irisin (p = 0.001) have a significant increase and Insulin resistance (p= 0.009) had a significant decrease compared to pre-test and control group.
Eight weeks aerobic exercise training caused to increase in Krüppel-like factors 15 and Irisin. These changes have a significant correlation with lowered Insulin resistance. So, these changes can improve glucose tolerance and reduce Insulin resistance, which can initiate a novel strategy for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
