The Effect of Six Weeks Consumption of Pomegranate Juice and Aerobic Training on Paraoxonase-1 and Plasma Lipid Profile in Adult Women with Diabetes Type II

Diabetes increases oxidative stress in different tissues and leads to increased levels of oxidation of DNA, proteins and lipids. Paraoxonase is an esterase enzyme that is carried along with HDL-C. This enzyme prevents of the peroxidation of LDL-C and therefore effective in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
Subjects and In this clinical trial study the subjects of this research included diabetic postmenopausal women in the city of Babol with the age range between 50 and 60 years old.

Program of aerobic training groups was for six weeks, three times in a week and for 45-65 minutes/day and in four afternoon was carried out. Subjects consume 150 ml of pomegranate juice daily at eight oclock every morning.. For the analysis data from the Dependent t-test and analysis of variance one way ANOVA was used.
There was a highly significant increase in the paraoxonase-1 (P activity of paraoxonase enzyme and Plasma lipid profile can be influenced by dietary factors and lifestyle.
