Abstract
Introduction: Obesity and overweight caused by diet are one of the main factors affecting on Orexin-A and BDNF. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acute aerobic activity following the consumption of four different diets on serum levels of Orexin-A and BDNF in overweight men.
Methodology: In this single-blinded crossover study, 10 overweight men (aged 23± 6.1 and BMI 29.26 ± 0.47), who attended in physiology lab in four separate sessions at weekly intervals. In each session, respectively, after eating Normal (N), High carbohydrate (HCHO), High protein (HP) and High-fat (HF) diets, the subjects performed 30 min treadmill test at 60-70% of maximum heart rate. In each session three blood samples were taken in fasting, two hours after a meal (before exercise) and after exercise.
Results: Serum levels of Orexin-A, were significantly increased after acute aerobic exercise following consumption of HCHO (P≤0.006), HP (P≤ 0.018) and N diets (P≤0.045), but did not increase after HF diet (P≤0.084). Serum BDNF levels increased significantly after aerobic exercise following HCHO (P≤ 0.001), HP (P≤ 0.008) and N diets (P≤0.047), but decreased insignificantly (P≥ 0.33) after HF diet. In comparing of four sessions, serum levels of Orexin-A after acute aerobic exercise following HCHO and HP diet were significantly higher as compared to HF diet (respectively P≤ 0.019, P≤ 0.033). Serum BDNF levels after acute aerobic exercise following HCHO, HP, and N diets were significantly higher as compared to HF diet (Respectively, HCHO, P≤ 0.001, HP P≤ 0.001 and N P≤ 0.039).
Discussion: The present study demonstrated that in overweight men, acute aerobic exercise after consumption of HF diet can not significantly increase serum levels of Orexin-A and BDNF.
