Introduction: Irisin is a myokine that has been proposed to exert anti-obesity benefits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of acute aerobic exercise on plasma Irisin level, insulin resistance and lipid profile in obese and normal weight women. Methods: In this semi-experimental study with pretest–posttest design, 12 obese women (BMI: 32.4 kg.m2, age: 27.5 yr) and...

Background: Nesfetin-1 is known as the peptide which interfere in appetite and glucose hemostasis. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of two kinds of acute exercise to nesfatin-1 gene expression of diabetic rats. Methods: In this study, has utilized the diabetic vistar staggy rats with STZ (12 week-age, 220-240 gr-weight). Animals were divided into four group: high DIAB...
