Effect of 12 Weeks of Concurrent Training with Caffeine Supplementation on Selected Adipokines and Insulin Resistance in Obese Postmenopausal Women

Adipose tissue is known as an endocrine tissue that secretes a large number of adipokines. In addition to regulating fat metabolism, these adipokines play an important role in pathological and physiological processes The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 12 weeks of Concurrent training with caffeine supplementation on C1q/TNF-Related Protein3, C1q/TNF-related protein 9، Adipoline, Mayonctin and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women.

In this quasi-experimental study 44 postmenopausal women (46-58 years) were selected and divided in to Four groups (Control, Caffeine, training, training + Caffeine.Twelve weeks training, 3 sessions per week included continuous aerobic exercises (20 min, 65-75% of HRR), and circular resistance training (10 stations with 70% 1RM). The aerobic training included 20 min duration with 65-75% HRR per session and the resistance training program included 10 stationary exercise as did circular with 70% 1RM.6 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight (2 to 3 mg) was given orally to supplemental groups.

The results showed a significant increase in CTRP-12, CTRP-15 and significantly reduced insulin resistance in obese postmenopausal women. CTRP-3 and CTRP-9 not change significantly.

12 weeks of Concurrent training with caffeine consumption can be an effective factor for optimal changes in CTRP-12, CTRP-15 and insulin resistance in obese postmenopausal women.
