Abstract
Background: In the last few years several polymorphisms variants with significant association to power and sprint performance of elite athletes have been verified. Meantime, the IL-6 gene was introduced as a proper candidate to imply a person alteration into an elite athlete. Therefore, the goal of the present study is to examine the association between IL6 gene polymorphism and power sport using meta-analysis to gather further evidence compared to individual reports.
Methods: Science direct, Google Scholar and Pub Med databases have been searched until March 2015. Articles were studied based on key word IL6 accompanied with polymorphism, mutation, variant and power sport were studied. Statistical software STATA was used to analyze the data.
Results: Ten articles included into the final meta-analysis and Systematic review. The survey of the obtained data from the articles revealed that 292 persons were as an entire group of athletes and 559 people were as a control group. For the allele G vs. C 1.43odds ratio (95% confidence interval: 1.03 -1.99), for the allele GG vs. GC 1.74odds ratio (95% confidence interval: 1.28- 2.36), for the allele GG vs. GC + CC 1.71 odds ratio (95% confidence interval: 1.24 -2.36) and GG + GC vs. CC allele model 0.96 odds (95% confidence interval: 0.77-1.20) was revealed. The relationship between the polymorphism 1800795GG genotype and exercise can be statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Generally, the result of the present study indicates that the IL6-174 G/C polymorphism is associated with better performance of elite athletes in power sports. The findings suggest that the genetic profiles might influence human physical performance. Therefore, it is recommended that researcher use IL6-174G/C polymorphism as one of the selected factor for Sports talent.

Abstract
Background: Inflammation plays an essential role in the insulin resistance process, and chemokines, such as chemerin, seem to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and caloric restriction on chemerin levels and insulin resistance index in women with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: In a quasi-experimental study, 30 type 2 diabetes women were recruited (Mean age: 49.3±5.4 yr; weight: 78.8±7.3kg). Subjects randomly were divided into three groups: caloric restriction (experimental group 1 or CR), aerobic exercise with caloric restriction (experimental group 2 or EX+CR) and control group. In CR group, subjects follow a diet with 25% caloric restriction for 12 weeks. Subjects in CR+EX group used a training program including aerobic exercise and running on treadmill and diet with 50% caloric restriction of CR group (12.5% caloric restriction+12.5% increase in energy expenditure). Before and after 12 weeks, blood sampling for measurement of chemerin, IL-6, glucose and insulin was carried out. Data were analyzed by paired sample t-test and one way ANOVA at significant level of p<0.05.
Results: Results showed that body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and interleukin6 decreased significantly in experimental groups. chemerin levels were increased significantly in CR (P=0.001) and EX+CR groups (P=0.001). Significant correlation were seen between changes of chemerin with changes of BMI, WHR, HOMA-IR and interleukin6 (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the relationship between chemerin and insulin resistance and also, its effectiveness of aerobic exercise and caloric restriction, decreased levels of chemerin may play a special role in reduction of insulin resistance.

Abstract
Background: Zinc-Alpha 2-Glycoprotein (ZAG) has recently been implicated in the regulation of adipose tissue metabolism due to its negative association with obesity and insulin resistance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of eight weeks HIIT on level of ZAG in plasma and adipose tissue in type 2 diabetic male rats.
Methods: Twenty one male rats were divided into the three groups of sham control (healthy), control (diabetic), and interval training (diabetic with training). The training group received 8 weeks of training sessions each with 5-12 repetitions of high intensity training for 15-30 seconds at the speed of 27-34 meters per second on a treadmill followed by one minute of active rest. Twenty four hours after the training session blood and body fat samples were taken to measure ZAG levels. The data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hock test at the significance level of 0.05 (P<0.05).
Results: There were significant differences between the sham control and the control with respect to ZAG contents in adipose tissue, which was lower in the diabetic control group (P<0.001). Moreover, significant differences in ZAG contents of adipose tissue were also observed between the sham control and the group receiving the training, with the sham control having higher ZAG contents in adipose tissue (P<0.005). The eight-week HIIT significantly increased the amount of secreted ZAG in adipose tissue compared to the control diabetic group (P=0.003). No significant differences were recorded between the groups in ZAG plasma levels.
Conclusion: The HIIT increased ZAG content in the adipose tissue of the male diabetic rats. This can reduce insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Background: Adropin is a peptide hormone playing a role in energy homeostasis and prevention of obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise with low intensity on serum adropin levels and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in obese sedentary adolescent boys.
Methods: This study was carried out in a quasi-experimental design. 26 obese adolescent boys were recruited (Mean ± SD: 13.4±0.81 yr; weight: 85.44±8.51kg) and were randomly assigned into two groups: aerobic exercise and control group. The training group performed running with intensity of 50-65% of maximal heart rate, three times a week for 10 weeks. Before and after intervention, blood sampling for measurement of serum adropin, fasting insulin and glucose was carried out. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and independent t-test at significant levels of P≤0.05.
Results: Weight (P=0.001) and body fat percent (P=0.017) showed significant reduction in aerobic group in posttest compared to pretest and control group. Serum adropin levels were increased significantly in aerobic exercise group compared to pretest and control group (P=0.0001). Significant correlation was seen between changes of adropin with changes of weight, body fat percent and HOMA-IR (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: According to the relationship between adropin with body composition and insulin resistance and also, its influence from aerobic exercise, adropin may play a special role in weight and obesity management.

Abstract
Background: Adrenomodoline (ADM) is a multifunctional peptide involved in a wide range of physiological processes and cardiovascular function. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effect of physical activity on ADM and nitric oxide (NO) levels and insulin resistance in athletes and non-athletes.
Material and
Methods: 12 athletes and 11 non-athletes participated in this quasi-experimental study. Study participants were selected by convenience sampling. Both groups performed the Bruce protocol. Blood samples were collected before and after the training session to study the variables. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of covariance, paired t-test, independent t-test and Pearson correlation.
Results: The results showed that after one session of submaximal exercise activity, HOMA-IR index decreased in non-athlete group (P = 0.034) and NO values increased in both athlete and non-athlete groups (P = 0.001, P = 0.002) and this increase was greater in the athlete group. Also, serum ADM levels were increased in the non-athlete group (P = 0.001) after the training session.
Conclusion: The single session of physical activity with increasing ADM and NO levels, can lead to better vasodilation and improved endothelial function as well as improved insulin resistance in inactive individuals. Since in athletes, only NO levels increased after the end of the activity, it seems that PA has a greater effect on improving the endothelial function of inactive people.
