Abstract

Hepatic haptokines are one of the influential factors in diseases related to obesity. Exercise and nutrition are two basic interventions in controlling obesity. The aim of this study was the effect of aerobic and resistance training during a ketogenic diet on fetuin A serum levels, blood lipid profile and liver enzymes in overweight and obese boys. Materials and methods: 36 overweight and obese inactive male students who had a body mass index above 25 kg/m2 were selected voluntarily and available sample. Then they were randomly divided into three groups: aerobic training during ketogenic diet (12 people), resistance training during ketogenic diet (12 people) and ketogenic diet alone (12 people). Aerobic exercises consisted of moderate intensity running for 6 weeks and three sessions per week. Resistance training consisted of circuit strength training for six weeks and three sessions each week. Ketogenic diet included restriction of carbohydrate intake less than or equal to 10% of total daily energy intake. Fasting blood sample was taken in pre-test and post-test. A two-way mixed analysis of variance test was used for statistical analysis. Result: According to the results of the time interaction in the group, no significant difference was found between the groups in the amount of fetuin A (p>0.05), the time factor showed a significant difference (p=0.001). Also, all three groups had a significant decrease in fetoin A compared to the pre-test state. The interaction of time in the group did not show any significant difference between the groups in the lipid profile and liver enzymes (ALT and AST) . However, the results within the group showed a significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, ALT and AST, while a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein in all three groups (p≥0.05).
