Effect of 12 week aerobic exercise on the obestatin level in obese women

Influence of Obestatin and Short-Term Treadmill Exercise on Plasma Acyl-Ghrelin and Body Weight in Wistar Rat

“…Moreover, Taghian and Zolfaghari. [23] found no significant correlation between intensity of exercise and peripheral obestatin level.…”

The Effect of an Eight-Week Rope Skipping Exercise Program on Interleukin-10 and C-Reactive Protein in Overweight and Obese Adolescents

“…It seems that a more duration of exercise per session as well as moderate intensity of exercise will reduce the body mass, weight, and fat percentage (20). Furthermore, Taghian et al (21) expressed that 12 weeks of aerobic exercise in 20 obese female students, showed a significant reduction in the weight, fat percentage, and BMI that cause of reduction of body compounds in the investigations depends on the intensity and the duration of the exercise. In addition, Davoodi et al (22) indicated that exercises with medium intensity (50% -70% of maximum heart rate, a 41-minute exercise, three days a week, for eight weeks) significantly reduce the weight, the percentage of fat, and BMI in obese young girls.…”

The Effects of Physical Activity on Serum Visfatin Level: A Literature Review

“…39 They reported that after 12 weeks, weight and body mass index (BMI) showed a significant fall in experimental group, but fat ratio, visfatin, insulin, glucose, and insulin resistance index did not significantly change. 39 Furthermore, longitudinal studies have shown that many factors associated with aerobic exercise are effective in reducing total body obesity including individual characteristics (gender, baseline fat, and genetic signature) and different states of exercise programs (time, intensity, and type of exercise). 40 According to these factors, perhaps the reason for the lack of significant differences in the study of Taghian et al may be the duration of exercise.…”

“…In this study, visfatin was correlated with visceral fat but not with subcutaneous fat. 4 Taghian et al 39 evaluated the insulin resistance in obese women, assessing the effect of 4 months of aerobic exercise on serum visfatin concentrations in this population. 39 They reported that after 12 weeks, weight and body mass index (BMI) showed a significant fall in experimental group, but fat ratio, visfatin, insulin, glucose, and insulin resistance index did not significantly change.…”
