Abstract
Background and purpose: Adipose tissue is an important site for energy storage and energy homeostasis. In addition, it has been recognized as an endocrine organ that produces and secretes a number of bioactive peptides or proteins called 2adipokines3. These molecules are directly and indirectly involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic syndrome. Among these, adiponectin is known to be involved in improvement in insulin sensitivity and endothelial function, and promotion of fat oxidation. Aerobic exercise also has the same effects. The benefits of aerobic exercise could be induced through changes in adiponectin levels. In this study, focus was given to the effects of aerobic exercise on circulating adiponectin levels in women with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Forty women with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in the study.Their body mass index (BMI) was ranging from 25 to 29.9 kg/m2,and they were non-smokers, and free from respiratory, kidney, liver, metabolic and neurological disorders. Their ages ranged from 35 to 45years. The subjects were divided into two equal groups: لإhe first group(A) received aerobic exercise training(walking on treadmaill) three times per week for 12 weeks, while the second group(B) was a control one. Both groups were on oral hypoglycemics. Result: There was statistical significant increase of adiponectin hormone level, FBG and Hb A1cin aerobic exercise group (p<0.05) compared to control group (p>0.05). Conclusion: It is suggested that aerobic exercise is appropriate for modulating, adipocytokines in diabetic type 2 women
