Abstract
Background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of seven weeks endurance training on
RBP4 gene expression in Soleus and Extensor Digitrum Longouse (EDL) Muscles, liver, visceral and
subcutaneous fat in type 2 diabetic rats.
Methods: 50 male wistar rats (5 weeks years old, weight = 93.7 ± 8.9) were purchased and randomly
divided into four groups: Control (n=10) (C), Trained (n=10) (T), Diabetic Control (n=15) (DC) and
Trained diabetic (n=15) (TD). Diabetes was induced by injection of low dose of streptozotocin (STZ)
and feeding with high fat diet. Insulin resistance accuracy was confirmed by HOMA-IR index and
Real-time PCR was used for mRNA content.
Results: After seven weeks of diabetes induction, the RBP4 mRNA content of the liver (2.37-fold P <
0.01), visceral fat (2.33-fold P < 0.01), and subcutaneous fat (1.83-fold P < 0.05), soleus (1.21-fold
P < 0.05) and EDL (2.03-fold P < 0.05) were increased. After seven weeks of endurance training
significant decrease in RBP4 mRNA content was found in visceral fat (P < 0.05), subcutaneous fat (P
< 0.05) and EDL (P < 0.05) between DC and CD. In addition, significant difference between T and TD
groups was found for RBP4 mRNA content in liver (p < 0.01), subcutaneous fat (P < 0.01) and EDL
(P < 0.01) after seven weeks of endurance training.
Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes considerably increases skeletal muscle RBP4 expression in isoform-
specific manner. This increase is also seen in liver, subcutaneous and visceral fat. In addition,
endurance training decreases the RBP4 expression in EDL, subcutaneous and visceral fat.

Abstract
Background: the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of diabetes and seven weeks
of endurance training on RBP4 expression in Soleus, extensor digiturom longuse (EDL), liver, visceral
and subcutaneous fat in type 2 diabetic rats.
Methods: Fifty male wistar rats (93.7 ± 8.9 g) were randomly divided into four groups including:
control (C) [n=10], trained (T) [n=10], diabetic control (DC) [n=15] and diabetic trained (TD) [n=15].
The combination of Intraperitoneally injection of streptozotocin (STZ) and high fat diet feeding were
used for diabetes induction. After seven weeks of endurance training, serum RBP4 and its expression
in above tissues were measured by ELISA and western blotting techniques, respectively.
Results: diabetes induction increased the RBP4 expression of the liver (3.57-fold, p < 0.01), visceral
fat (2.02-fold, p < 0.01), and subcutaneous fat (1.84-fold, p < 0.01) and EDL (2.29-fold, p < 0.01) in
DC in comparison to C group. Serum RBP4 concentration was significantly higher in DC (2.9-fold, p
< 0.01) and TD (1.84-fold, p < 0.01) in comparison to C group. Endurance training significantly
decreased serum RBP4 (p < 0.01) and its expression in visceral fat (p < 0.01) in DT in comparison to
DC.
Conclusion: type 2 diabetes extensively decreases the skeletal muscle RBP4 expression in isoform –
specific manner, liver, subcutaneous and visceral fat. In addition, endurance training decreases serum
RBP4 concentration and its expression in visceral fat.

Abstract
Background: Insulin resistance and progressive β-cells failure are the key factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) pathogenesis. Many studies support a primary role of RBP4 in insulin resistance and suggest that genetic variations which alter the expression level of RBP4 might influence the risk of T2DM and its complications. Diabetic foot is one of the main complications of diabetes leading to disability and hospitalization. In addition, it reduces quality of life and imposes great cost to patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs10882273 and rs10882283) of RBP4 genes with diabetic foot ulcer in order to identify a biomarker for prediction of diabetic foot ulcer.
Methods: This is a case-control study. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms of RBP4 genes were genotyped by hit Tetra ARMS PCR technique. In this study, 100 and 133 diabetic patients with and without foot ulcer were selected as the cases and controls, respectively.
Results: The Chi-square test revealed no significant difference in frequency of TT, CC and TC alleles of rsl0882273 between case and control groups (P=0.414). Also, Comparison of AA, CC and AC alleles of rsl0882283 in both groups did not show significant difference (P=0.85).
Conclusion: According to this study, there is no relationship between two single nucleotide polymorphisms of RBP4 genes (rs10882273 and rs10882283) with diabetic foot ulcer in type2 diabetes patients.

Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of resistance training with and without the use of aqueous extracts of barberry and saffron on serum levels of RBP4, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance in obese mice.
Methods: In this study, 80 mice with a mean weight of 41± 2 g were exposed to high fat diet for 10 weeks. Then, they were randomly assigned to 8 resistance training groups (10 n), resistance and saffron (10 n), saffron (10= n ), Resistance and barberry (n =10), barberry (n =10), saffron and barberry (10n =), resistance training with extract of saffron and barberry (10n =) and control group (n = 10). The resistance training program included raising the mice from the ladder with weight (three sets and 5 repetitions each) three times a week for 8 weeks. The consumption of saffron and barberry extracts was done at 0.08 for total weight of mice for 8 weeks. After 14 hours of fasting, the initial blood sample was taken at 5 ml of the left ventricle of the rats and RBP4, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance levels were measured. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the data between groups. All calculations were considered at P≤0.05
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference in the levels of RBP4 (P = 0.002), glucose (P = 0.03), insulin (P = 0.02), and insulin resistance (P= 0.004) There are different research groups.
Follow-up test results showed that RBP4 levels decreased in the resistance training group compared to the barberry and control groups. In saffron group, resistance to barberry and control group decreased. The saffron group also decreased compared to the saffron and barberry training groups.
Conclusion: The findings of this study emphasize the effect of resistance training, the use of saffron extract and barberry extract on reducing the metabolic effects of obesity by reducing RBP4 and reducing glucose, insulin and insulin resistance.
