Background: Adiponectin and omentin-1 are adipokines with insulin-sensitizing properties. The aim
of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on serum levels of adiponectin and
omentin-1 in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Methods: Twenty four male Wister rats (12-14 weeks’ old) were randomly divided into three groups:
non-diabetic control, diabetic control, and diabetic training. The rats in diabetic training group were
subjected to a resistance training program (3 days/wk, for 4 wk) consisted of climbing a ladder
carrying a load suspended from the tail. Following four weeks resistance training serum glucose,
insulin, lipid profile, adiponectin, and omentin-1 concentrations were measured.
Results: Serum levels of omentin-1 and adiponectin were significantly lower in diabetic control group
compare with non-diabetic control group (P<0.001). After 4 weeks of resistance training serum
adiponectin levels was significantly higher in diabetic trained group compared with diabetic control
group (P= 0.028), but we did not find any significant difference in omentin-1 levels between two
diabetic groups. Morever, we did not find any significant difference in serum lipid profile among all
groups. Four weeks resistance training did not change serum glucose and insulin concentrations in
diabetic rats.
Conclusion: This study indicated that resistance training could increase serum adiponectin levels in
diabetic rats without significant changes in lipid profile, glucose, insulin, and omentin-1
concentrations. It seems low intensity and short term duration of resistance training had important
roles in failure of significant changes of omentin-1, glucose, and insulin concentrations.
