Background and Objective: Vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin) was identified as a potential insulin sensitizing adipokine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training intensity and volume on serum vaspin concentration and insulin resistance index.    Materials and Methods: Thirty two male Wister rats (287 ± 24 g) were randomly divided int...

Background: The relationship between adipokines, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes has been well documented. However, the effect of exercise training modalities on some of the new adipokines and their association with insulin resistance is not clear. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of endurance and progressive resistance training on serum adiponectin, vaspin and insulin...

Background and Objective: Chemerin and vaspin are adipose tissue-driven adipokines and appear to be associated with inflammation and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of aerobic interval training on chemerin, vaspin and insulin resistance index in overweight students. Materials and Methods: Twenty four male students voluntarily participated in t...

Introduction: Adipose tissue as a gland, secreting hormones, including Vaspsin that are associated with metabolic disorders.The aim of of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 week resistance exercise on plasma levels of vaspin and blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive elderly women. Methods: 30 hypertensive elderly women were randomly divided into two groups: the control and e...

Background and Objective: The adipokines or adipocytokines are cytokines secreted from adipocyte tissue including Vaspin and chemerin. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of intense aerobic exercise on vaspin and chemerin level changes in female Spraw dawly rats. Materials and Methods: Among the Spraw Dawly rats available in the laboratory of Shiraz Uni...

Background and Objective: Adipokines are adipocytokines that are released from adipose tissue and play a role in increasing or decreasing insulin resistance. The aim of the present study was to survey the effect of high volume high intensity training on plasma visfatin and vaspin, insulin resistance, lipid profile and body composition of overweight men. Materials and Methods: Twenty overwei...

Introduction: Visfatin and Vaspin are two adipokines playing a role in increasing or decreasing insulin resistance. The present study aimed at investigating the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise in combination with cinnamon extract on visfatin and vaspin in insulin-resistant rats. Methods: Thirty-six Wistar male rats were divided into four groups: control (N=9), aerobic exercise (N=9), cin...

Background: This study was conducted to determine the effect of 12 weeks of aerobic training on serum levels of vaspin and glucose homeostasis variables in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 20 women with type П diabetes (mean±SD: age 43.30 ±3.02 yr, body mass index 27.089±3.23 kg/m2 and body fat 29.46 ±2.71%) were randomized into experimental (n = 10) and...
