Effect of exercise on fasting lipid, adipocytokine, and catecholamine levels
| Baseline | After exercise | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| n | 12 | 12 | |
| Cholesterol (mg/dl) | 178 ± 12 | 175 ± 12 | 0.70 |
| HDL (mg/dl) | 51 ± 5 | 52 ± 5 | 0.21 |
| Triglycerides (mg/dl) | 107 ± 15 | 88 ± 10 | 0.07 |
| LDL (mg/dl) | 117 ± 10 | 115 ± 9 | 0.70 |
| FFA (mEq/liter) | 0.77 ± 0.07 | 0.90 ± 0.10 | 0.12 |
| hsCRP (mg/liter) | 2.2 ± 0.6 | 2.8 ± 1.1 | 0.55 |
| PAI-1 (IU/ml) | 23 ± 6 | 24 ± 6 | 0.86 |
| Adiponectin (μg/ml) | 12.4 ± 1.3 | 12.6 ± 1.3 | 0.49 |
| Leptin (ng/ml) | 21.5 ± 4.5 | 20.3 ± 4.5 | 0.09 |
| Norepinephrine (pg/ml) | 265 ± 30 | 267 ± 22 | 0.95 |
| Epinephrine (pg/ml) | 73 ± 11 | 84 ± 8 | 0.22 |
Mean ± se. To convert cholesterol, HDL, and LDL from milligrams per deciliter to millimoles, multiply by 0.0259. To convert triglycerides from milligrams per deciliter to millimoles, multiply by 0.0113. To convert FFA from milligrams per deciliter to grams per liter, multiply by 0.01. To convert hsCRP from milligrams per liter to nanomoles per liter, multiply by 8.45. To convert norepinephrine from pg/ml to nanomoles per liter, multiply by 0.0059. To convert epinephrine from picograms per milliliter to picomoles per liter, multiply by 5.458. HDL, High-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
