The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training on whole body insulin sensitivity, serum adiponectin, and mRNAs of peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) adiponectin receptors in healthy young adults. Twelve young men were studied. We divided the subject into two groups: exercise group(N=6) and control group(N=6) as well as exercise group underwent 8 weeks of aerobic exercise. Primary outcomes of the study included body composition parameters including height, weight, body mass index, percent body fat, and waist circumference, hip waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio and blood pressure and blood variable including resting blood pressures, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, insulin and homeostasis assessment model of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) and adipocytokine including serum adiponectin, HMW adiponectin, TNF-., IL-6. Analyses of variance with repeated measures were used to test any significant time×group interaction effects on the measured variables. Statistical significances were tested at p=0.05 with SPSS-PC(version 18.0). As a result, aerobic exercise group had significantly higher values in WC(p=.028), VO2max(p=.001), HMW adiponectin(p=.020) and TNF-.(p=.035), IL-6(p=.042), AUC for insulin(p=.018). The findings of the study suggest that 8 weeks of aerobic exercise training improved circulating adiponectin as well as inflammatory factors without any changes in PBMC adiponectin receptors mRNAs in adults.
