Abstract
Background: Obesity can result in increased visceral adipose tissue, insulin resistance, and impaired fasting glucose. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the acute and chronic effects of whole body vibration exercise (WBVE) on erythrocyte deformability, plasma viscosity, total oxidant/antioxidant status (TOS/TAS), oxidative stress index (OSI) and serum exerkine levels in obese women.
Methods: The study included 13 obese women (mean age 41.32 ± 5.26 years, BMI 34.18 ± 1.67 kg/m2). Participants performed exercises using a vibration device for 12 sessions. Erythrocyte deformability (ektacytometry), plasma viscosity (rotational viscometry), plasma TOS/TAS, OSI and serum irisin, visfatin and resistin concentrations (ELISA) were evaluated. Blood samples were collected before and after the exercise at the first and fourth weeks.
Results: Erythrocyte deformability values were increased after single session of WBVE at shear stress of 0.30 and 9.49 Pa and decreased after single session of WBVE at shear stress of 16.87 and 30 Pa (p < 0.05) at the first week. However, after 4 weeks of WBVE, erythrocyte deformability at 0.30 and 0.53 Pa increased; TOS, OSI and plasma viscosity were all decreased (p < 0.05). Serum irisin and resistin levels significantly increased after 4 weeks of WBVE (p < 0.05), whereas visfatin did not show statistically significant changes (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Four weeks of WBVE significantly improved the erythrocyte deformability, oxidative stress, plasma viscosity, and serum levels of irisin and resistin in obese women.
期刊介绍:
Biorheology is an international interdisciplinary journal that publishes research on the deformation and flow properties of biological systems or materials. It is the aim of the editors and publishers of Biorheology to bring together contributions from those working in various fields of biorheological research from all over the world. A diverse editorial board with broad international representation provides guidance and expertise in wide-ranging applications of rheological methods to biological systems and materials.
The scope of papers solicited by Biorheology extends to systems at different levels of organization that have never been studied before, or, if studied previously, have either never been analyzed in terms of their rheological properties or have not been studied from the point of view of the rheological matching between their structural and functional properties. This biorheological approach applies in particular to molecular studies where changes of physical properties and conformation are investigated without reference to how the process actually takes place, how the forces generated are matched to the properties of the structures and environment concerned, proper time scales, or what structures or strength of structures are required.
