Study aim
-
The purpose of this study is to answer the question "Does eight weeks of aerobic exercise with vitamin D supplementation have any effect on expression of AMPK, PGC-1a, PTP1B and UCP-1 genes in visceral adipose tissue of obese rats with type 2 diabetes?".
-
Design
-
A randomized clinical trial with pre and post test design, along with six experimental, two control and a sham group on 90 type 2 diabetic rats. Lottery method was used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study with pre and post test design will be done, under supervision of physical education and basic sciences colleges, in order to determine the effect of aerobic training with vitamin D supplementation on AMPK, PGC-1a, PTP1B and UCP-1 gene expression in visceral adipose tissue of obese rats with type 2 diabetes.
