Comparison of Lipid and Apolipoprotein Profiles Following Two Exercise Protocols in Overweight Females

Abstract

Background: ApoB and apoA-I are two major apolipoproteins, which are involved in lipid transport and in the processes causing atherosclerosis. Accordingly, it is suggested that these parameters might be better than conventional lipids to prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVDs). Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether in overweight females, the percentage changes of apolipoprotein B (apoB), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), and apoB/apoA-I ratio (aporatio) were as much as the percentage changes in conventional lipids following 8 weeks of two types of exercise protocols, which was carried out from
