Article Synopsis
- Obesity is a complex condition linked to excessive fat accumulation, especially in the abdominal area, which can harm health by increasing inflammation.
- This study focused on 12 sedentary, overweight, and obese young men and assessed the effects of one strength training session on their blood levels of resistin and leptin, two important adipokines.
- Results showed that the strength training significantly decreased resistin levels one hour post-exercise, while leptin levels remained unchanged, suggesting that exercise may help reduce inflammation and improve insulin resistance in overweight and obese individuals.
Adipose tissue is specialized cells that produce and release adipokines. Exercise may modulate adipokine production in adipocytes. The aim of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of strength training (ST) on plasma levels of adiponectin, leptin, and resistin.

Physical exercise can modulate this system, however, only animal studies have compared the effects of different intensity protocols on the RAS. No data with humans were provided.
