Abstract

Review of research findings show higher circulating interleukin 6 in diabetic patients than healthy people. The aim of our work was to study evaluate effects of exercise on serum interleukin 6 and insulin sensitivity in type II diabetic patients. Blood samples were derived from brachial vein before and immediately after YMCA cycling protocol of 16 healthy non-trained adult men with type II diabetic that participated in this study by voluntarily. Blood samples were used for measuring serum interleukin 6 and insulin sensitivity of all patients. We observed an increase in serum interleukin 6 by exercise test when compared to baseline. Glucose concentration was decreased in response to exercise test, while insulin sensitivity did not change. Based on these data, we can conclude that acute exercise test increase serum interleukin 6 and decrease glucose concentration in the absence of changes in insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients.
