ABSTRACT Physical activity is known to influence and regulate leptin hormone secretion, which assists in the regulation of body weight and energy homeostasis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a single session of concurrent exercise on leptin levels and insulin resistance, until 24 h post-exercise. Ten male subjects (22.9±1.7 years) healthy volunteer perf...

Background & Objectives: Several epidemiological studies have indicated factors such as Leptin level, Adiponectin and plasma adiponectin-to-leptin index to be the predicting biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases. Given the importance of healthy nutrition and adequate exercise in reducing the risk of Atherosclerosis, this study aimed to investigate the effects of fasting and aerobic exercise on...

Aim. To assess the plasma leptin responses after exercise stress testing in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Material and Methods. We investigated 67 patients with MS, with mean age of 55 ± 7 years. They underwent exercise stress testing on cycloergometer. The lot was divided into three groups: group 1-10 patients with a true positive test, group 2-18 patients with a true negative test, a...

OBJECTIVE To investigate plasma leptin response to short term exercise in college level male rowers. METHODS Thirteen rowers performed a 30 minute maximal rowing ergometer test. Venous blood samples were obtained before, immediately after, and after 30 minutes of recovery. Concentrations of leptin, insulin, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP...

background: leptin is a protein product of obesity gene and is synthesized mainly by adipose tissue. objective: the aim of this study was to determine maternal and neonatal serum leptin levels in term preeclamptic and normal pregnancies. materials and methods: this cross sectional study was performed on 37 preeclamptic and 40 normotensive term pregnant women without other disease. serum level o...

background: cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the world. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on serum inflammatory markers in untrained middle-aged women. methods: nineteen healthy female middle-aged were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two experimental (n=11) and control (n=8) groups. the exercis...

Aims: The aim of this study examined the acute effects of exhaustive incremental exercise on serum leptin, glucose and lactate in one session in trained men 18-26 years old. Materials and Methods: Thirty students who had 18-26 years old, body fat between 15-25 percent and VO2max between 35-45 ml/kg/min, simple randomly selected through 200 physical education students and they were divided into...
