Effect of exercise of force on blood glucose and analysis lipid values and body composition after use leucine in patients with overweight

Abstract

Introduction: Exercise improves insulin sensitivity in healthy, obese and diabetic patients 1 and 2, by improving glucose uptake in muscle and decreased hepatic glucose production, these processes occur via different intracellular signaling pathways. Assist with the welfare of the patient, the amino acids leucine is the most effective in stimulating protein synthesis, reduce proteolysis and directly and indirectly stimulate the synthesis of insulin. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate blood glucose after strength training, and evaluate the lipid values and body composition after the use of leucine in overweight patients. Materialsand Methods: The subjects were three female patients: (A), (B) and (C), where he was asked to take a full lipid profile and measured blood pressure, measured height and weight and skinfold thickness for realization of the fat percentage of body composition and verification. These parameters were evaluated at the end of the study for comparison. Then the glucose was measured before and after exercise of force. 1 x per week for 3 weeks. Results: Both for patient A, B and C, anthropometric data (weight, BMI, fat percentage, waist, hip) and lipids (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglycerides) showed no reliable differences before and after the search, and the blood glucose before and after exercise of force. Blood pressure remained constant. Discussion: The leucine can mobilize fat in certain fractions of cholesterol metabolism and respecting the individuality of each patient. Conclusion: The glucose may be reduced after strength training if there not is gluconeogenesis and leucine did not change noticeablybody composition, but reduced some lipid levels.
