Some of the authors of this publication are also working on these related projects: The effect of different types of exercise training on diet-induced obesity in rats View project p.ayremlou@gmail.com View project Alireza Mehdizadeh emam khomeini hospital,iran,uromia Abstract Background and purpose: Visfatin is one of insulin-like proteins secreted by adipose tissue associated with obesity and insulin resistance, but the effect of exercise on the levels of this hormone is unclear, despite various studies in this area. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic, resistance and combined exercises (strength-aerobic) on visfatin changes, glycemic and lipid parameters and evaluation of relationship between visfatin and insulin resistance in women with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2). The recent study differs with other studies in terms of exercise type, sample size, type of subjects and results.
