Background & Objectives: Chemerin is a novel adipokine that play an important role in regulating lipid metabolism and adipogenesis. There is limited information available regarding the effect of exercise training on serum chemerin concentrations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on serum chemerin levels and lipids of plasma in overweight women. here is little data on the effect of exercise on Chamerin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on Chamyr levels and lipid profile in in adult women with type 2 diabetes. Methods: 24 adult women with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to resistance training groups (12 subjects) and control (12 subjects). The resistance training program was 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Resting levels of plasma chemerin and lipid profiles were measured before and after the intervention. Results: After 12 weeks of resistance training, levels of plasma chemerin and LDL-c were significantly decreased in experimental resistance trained group compared to control groups (p<0.05). Concurrently, levels of HDL-c were significantly increased (p<0.05) whereas, levels of cholesterol, TG and LDL-c, showed no significant changes (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Regarding the results of this study, after 12 weeks of resistance training, there was a significant decrease in Chamirin and LDL-c levels as well as an increase in HDL-c levels.
