Exercise , particularly aerobic exercise , had a significant effect on serum leptin and a possible influence on adiponectin levels , suggesting its therapeutic implication
Previous reports have shown that exercise improves serum leptin and adiponectin abnormalities in overweight and obese individuals ; however , results to date are controversial .
Here we performed a systematic review and meta- analysis of the available r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) of the possible beneficial action of exercise on serum leptin and adiponectin levels in overweight and obese individuals .
Nordic walking decreased circulating chemerin and leptin concentrations in middle-aged men with impaired glucose regulation
Abstract Background . Dysfunction of adipose tissue is one of the major factors leading to insulin resistance . Altered adipokine concentration is an early sign of adipose tissue dysfunction . The aim of this study was to assess the impact of exercise intervention on adipokine profile , glycemic control , and risk factors of the metabolic syndrome ( MeS ) in men with impaired glucose regulation ( IGR ) . Methods . Overweight and obese men with IGR ( n = 144 ) aged 40–65 years were studied at baseline and at 12 weeks in a r and omized controlled multicenter intervention study .  BMI varied from 25.1 to 34.9 . The subjects were r and omized into one of three groups : 1 ) a control group ( C ; n = 47 ) , 2 ) a Nordic walking group ( NW ; n = 48 ) , or 3 ) a resistance training group ( RT ; n = 49 ) . Results . Leptin concentrations decreased in the NW group compared to both other groups . Both types of exercise intervention significantly decreased serum chemerin concentrations compared to the C group . In the NW group also body fat percentage , fatty liver index ( FLI ) , and total and LDL cholesterol concentrations decreased compared to the RT group . Conclusions . Nordic walking intervention seems to decrease chemerin and leptin levels , and subjects in this intervention group achieved the most beneficial effects on components of
