Abstract :

Spexin and Asprosin as multifunctional peptides, play a role in glucose metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the response of these two peptides to different intensities of interval training in women with type 2 diabetes. This study was a quasi-experimental type with a pre-test to post-test design. 30 women with type 2 diabetes, aged 30 to 40 years, were randomly divided into three equal groups (n=10) including; Control, moderate intensity interval training (MIIT), and high intensity interval training (HIIT). The training protocol consisted of 12 weeks, three sessions per week, and with intensities of 70-75% and 80-95% of maximum heart rate, respectively. Before and after exercise intervention, serum levels of spexin and asprosin were evaluated by ELISA method. Intragroup changes were analyzed using a paired t-test and intergroup changes were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance test with Tukey's post hoc test. The significant level was considered to be p≤0.05. The results indicated that in training groups, following 12 weeks of interval training, the serum levels of spexin increased significantly (p = 0.0001) and asprosin decreased significantly (p = 0.0001). Also, the insulin resistance index showed a significant decrease (p = 0.0001). In conclusion, it seems that HIIT and MIIT exercises can cause positive changes in the amount of spexin and asprosin, along with improving insulin resistance in women with type 2 diabetes. Based on the findings of the present study, HIIT exercises have better effects than MIIT training
