Effects of intense cycling training on plasma leptin and adiponectin and its relation to insulin resistance.
OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin, the most abundant protein secreted by white adipose tissue, is known for its involvement in insulin resistance (HOMA-R). The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of intense cycling training for six months on plasma concentrations of adiponectin and leptin and HOMA-R.
