Material & Methods: Sixteen obese and overweight middle aged men (age, 35-50 years) with type 2 diabetes participated in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned to LAM group (n=8) or control group (n=8). The subjects in LAM group walked 2 miles in 30 minutes on a treadmill on 4 days per week for 12 weeks according to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and American College of Sports Medicine. Results: The results showed that total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and LDL-c were decreased and Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1) and HDL-c increased in the LAM group compared to the control group (P<0.05). For Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) no significant change was observed after the intervention. Conclusions: In conclusion, lipid profiles were improved after 12 weeks LAM in obese and overweight middle aged men with type 2 diabetes.
