Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, like other inflammatory diseases, causes a change in the levels of pro-inflammatory (such as gremlin-1) and anti-inflammatory (such as pentraxin-3) markers. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of 10 weeks of aerobic and resistance training on serum levels of pentraxin-3, gremlin-1 and insulin resistance in men with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 29 men with type 2 diabetes in the age range of 25-45 years were selected and randomly divided into three groups: aerobic training, resistance training and control. Aerobic training program with an intensity of 55-75% of the maximum heart rate and resistance training with an intensity of 55-75% of one repetition maximum was implemented during 10 weeks and 3 sessions per week. Before and after the intervention period, serum levels of pentraxin-3, gremlin-1 were measured and also insulin resistance index was calculated.
Results: In both aerobic (P= 0.039) and resistance (P= 0.019) training groups, pentraxin-3 serum level increased significantly compared to the control group; but there was no difference between the two groups (P= 0.703). Also, serum levels of gremlin-1 and insulin resistance of the aerobic (P= 0.022 and P= 0.040, respectively) and resistance (P= 0.037 and P= 0.031, respectively) training groups showed a significant decrease compared to the control group; Although there was no difference between the training groups (P= 0.815 and P= 0.659, respectively).
Conclusion: This findings demonstrate that both types of aerobic and resistance training are equally effective in improving inflammatory markers and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes patients.
