Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is usually related to vascular problems and is associated with impairment in endothelial
function characterized by impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilation and increased platelet adhesion. There is limitation in
clinical studies that have addressed the beneficial effects of weight reduction in modulating biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and adipokines dysregulation for obesity associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Objective: This study was designed to detect the effects of weight loss on insulin resistance, adhesive molecules and adipokines
dysregulation in obese type 2 diabetic patients.
Methods: Eighty obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, their age ranged from 35-55 years and their body mass index
ranged from 31-37 kg/m2 were equally assigned into 2 groups: the weight reduction group received aerobic exercises in addition
to diet regimen, where the control group received medical treatment only for 12 weeks.
Results: There was a 24.04%, 19.33%, 22.78% ,12.28%, 9.35%, 22.53% & 10.12 % reduction in mean values of Homeostasis
Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance Index (HOMA-IR), Leptin, Adiponectin, Resistin, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and E-selectin & body mass index (BMI) respectively in addition
to 26.20% & 24.58% increase in the mean values of adiponectin & the quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI)
respectively in group (A) at the end of the study. The mean values of leptin, resistin, insulin, HOMA-IR, ICAM-1, VCAM-1,
E-selectin & BMI were significantly decreased in addition to significant increase in the mean values of adiponectin & QUICKI
in group (A) those that received aerobic exercise training in addition to diet regimen. While the results of group (B) those that
received no treatment intervention were not significant. In addition, there were significant differences between mean levels of
the investigated parameters in group (A) and group (B) after treatment (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limit of this study, 10% reduction in body mass index modulates insulin resistance, adhesive molecules
and adipokines dysregulation among obese type 2 diabetic patients.
