Comparison the effects of 12 weeks increasing aerobic exercise & licorice consumption on adiponectin levels in obese women

again were measured in four groups. For comparing the variables among the groups, one-way ANOVA and also for intra-group comparisons of Associate t-test was used. The significance level was considered to be P≤0.05. The results showed that plasma adiponectin level significantly increased in all three experimental groups, while insulin resistance, body weight and body mass index decreased (P <0.05). Meanwhile, these indices in the control group had not changed. Conclusion: It can be concluded that these exercises, along with the use of licorice to lower body weight and improve insulin resistance in obese women, can be used.
