ABSTRACT
We tested whether physical inactivity (PI) is an independent predictor of plasma visfatin, a newly discovered adipokine likely involved in the relationship between obesity-associated low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance. PI was induced in healthy men (Body Mass Index = 23.4 ± 0.6 kg·m(-2)) by 10 days of confinement (n = 8), 1 month of detraining (n = 10), and 3 months of bed rest with (n = 7) and without exercise (n = 8). Visfatin was negatively associated with activity energy expenditure (p = 0.03). No relationship was observed with insulin sensitivity. This suggested that PI itself increases visfatin concentrations.
