Effect of one session of resistance training on serum levels of adipolin and some factors regulating adipolin in sedentary obese women

Adipose tissue as an active endocrine organ has a pivot role in regulating metabolic states of the body, via secretion of pre- and anti- inflammatory adipokines. This study investigated effect of one session of resistance training on levels of adipolin, furin, transforming growth factor β1, tumor necrosis factor-α and insulin resistance in sedentary obese women. For this purpose 20 sedentary postmenopausal obese women (BMI>30Kg/m2, aged 50-65 years) randomly assigned in to experimental (n=12) and control (n=8) groups. Subjects in experimental group participated in one session of resistance training (2 sets of 8 repetitions at 40% of one-repetition maximum for 30 minutes). Serum levels of adipolin, furin, transforming growth factor β1, tumor necrosis factor-α, insulin and fasting glucose measured before and immediately after training session. Statistical analysis was done by paired and independent t-test and Pearson correlation and P
