Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), has recently been identified as novel adipokines associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. The effects of exercise training on serum RBP4 is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 8 weeks high intensity aerobic exercise on serum RBP4 levels in female athletes. Twenty female karate athletics were randomly assigned to one of the exercise group (n=10) or control group (n=10). The training group performed endurance training 3 days a week for 8 weeks at an intensity corresponding to 75-80% individual maximum oxygen consumption for 45 min. After 8 weeks of training, subjects underwent a week of detraining. Body mass and BMI increased (P<0.05) and WHR decreased (P<0.05) after 8 weeks high intensity exercise training compared to the control group. In our study, there was virtually no change in body fat percentage, fasting glucose and insulin, insulin resistance and RBP4 levels after 8 weeks training and a week detraining. In conclusion, serum RBP4 levels were not affected by 8 weeks high intensity aerobic exercise in female athletes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
