“…Several studies have investigated the effect of exercise on adiponectin concentration in humans. Although some studies found that the concentration of circulating adiponectin increased after exercise (Lim et al, 2008;Kondo et al, 2006), in other studies, the concentration of circulating adiponectin was unchanged after exercise (Jürimäe et al, 2007;O'Leary et al, 2006;Klimcakova et al, 2006;Nassis et al, 2005;Hara et al, 2005). Likewise, some studies have reported that the concentration of circulating adiponectin in healthy and diabetic rodents increased after exercise (Zeng et al, 2007;Lee et al, 2011), whereas in other studies, the concentration of circulating adiponectin in healthy rodents was unchanged after exercise (Lee et al, 2011;Bhattacharya et al, 2005;Huang et al, 2007).…”
