effect of a four week aerobic training on serum levels of irisin and insulin resistance in women with type 2 diabetes

ABSTRACT

Background and Aim: Physical activity is an appropriate cost-effective means for the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes. Irisin, a recently identified myokine seems to have an important role in the transformation of white fat tissue and regulation of insulin sensitivity. The current study aimed at investigating the effect of aerobic training on serum levels of irisin and insulin resistance in women with type II diabetes
