Acylated Ghrelin Level Response to Daily Step in the Post - Menopause

Objecves Plasmac total ghrelin levels (ie, acylate & unacylated isoformes) are changeable during malnutrion, starvaon regime, exercise bouts, obesity and hyperglycemia condions. Studies have reported increases, decreases or no change in total ghrelin concentraons as a resultsresults of exercise. WalkingSince walking is used as a movement current paern with a different lifestyle condions, especially in several social jobs acvies of daily livings of the middle-aged and elderly, the aim of the present study is to evaluate whether therelaonship betweenthe number of step per day steps per day andwith acylated ghrelin of menopausal women is related to different life styles.as well, the effects of physical acvity volume on this pepde hormone. Materials & Methods Daily step volumes voluntarily were measured in the health postmenopausal women (n=40) by the electronic pedometer. Subjects (aged 55.9 ±4.6) divided by as acve group (AG =20) and sedentary group (SG=20). Results Daily step average in the AG (8022±2659 step/day) significantly was higher than SG (3450±913 step/day) (P<0.001). Acylated ghrelin and Insulin concentraons were markedly not different in AG as well, step per day were not associated with these hormones. There was a significant difference in body composion variables (BMI, %BF, WHR) among 2 groups and significant inverse correlaons were found between acvity and body composion variables in women. Conclusion According to the results, it is recommended that trainers, organizaons and instuons that deal with the elderly, use the cycling and walking exercises, especially walking and jogging to reduce the risk of further problem in these people.
