The Effect of 8weeks of Chosen Aerobic Training and Nettleon, Apelin and Reactive Protein Pelasma Levels in Overweight and Obese Women

The using of exercise along with herbal supplements is one of the proposing ways to control obesity and its complications. The aim of this study was investigating the effect of 8 weeks chosen aerobic exercise and use of hydro-alcoholic extract of nettle on hs-CRP plasma and apelin levels in overweight and obese women.
This study is a randomized, single-blind clinical trial that 46 overweight and obese women (BMI≥25) with an age range of 45-25 years were randomly Selected and were divided in the four groups, aerobic exercise with hydro-alcoholic extract of nettle (n=12), aerobic exercise and placebo (n=12), hydro-alcoholic extract of nettle (n=11), and placebo (n=11).
The intervention group daily and for 8 weeks received 8 cc of hydro-alcoholic extract of nettle and control group received placebo in the form of water-soluble. Aerobic exercises of ergometer were reserved for 8 weeks, 3 sessions of 16 - 30 minutes in weeks with heart rate intensity of 75-60%. In two steps of pre and post-test, after 14 hours of Breakfasting in the same condition, blood samples were collected and ELISA method was used to assess levels of plasma apelin and hs-CRP. Dates were analyzed using the Kolmogorov - Smirnov tests, one Sided variance analysis statistical test, LSD Prosecutor and T- dependent test and spss16 software at significant level of α The results showed At the end of the study compared levels of hs-CRP were significantly different between groups. And also has been associated with significant reductions in groups (aerobic exercise with hydro-alcoholic extract, aerobic exercise and placebo, hydro-alcoholic extract of nettle, placebo) p It seems that use of Nettle extracts along with aerobic exercise is effective in obese women in the control of obesity and reducing hs-CRP through weight losses and BMI.
