Effects of a 12-week healthy-life exercise program on oxidized low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and carotid intima-media thickness in obese elderly women

Abstract: [Purpose] This study examined the effects of a 12-week exercise program on plasma level of oxidized low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in obese elderly women, who are at increased risk of heart disease morbidity. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty participants were assigned into either a control (n = 10) or a supervised exercise program (n = 10) group. The 12-week exercise intervention was performed 3 days per week and involved combined aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and traditional Korean dance. [Results]… Show more

“…CIMT was measured using B-mode ultrasound and a 10-MHz probe (LOGIQ 3, GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI, USA). During measurement of the carotid arteries, the subjects lay on their backs in a dark room, turned their heads 45 degrees, and fully exposed the carotid arteries after they relaxed for minimum 10 minutes; left carotid artery was then measured by ultrasound 21 , 22 ) . Three IMT measurements of diastolic images on each side at 10 mm before or after the carotid bifurcation were obtained.…”

“…A 12-week healthy-life exercise program was reported to reduce circulating ox-LDL levels and carotid IMT in obese elderly women. 44 Tavridou et al 45 reported that treatment with simvastatin 40 mg/d for 12 weeks significantly reduced circulating ox-LDL levels by 6.5% ± 5.2% and 31.1% ± 5.0% in hypercholesterolemia subjects with and without CHD, respectively. Likewise, a study by Aydin et al 46 showed that both rosuvastatin 20 mg/d and atorvastatin 80 mg/d had comparable effects on circulating ox-LDL levels.…”

“…Studies in adults have shown reductions in plasma markers of oxidative stress after weight loss induced by a lifestyle intervention [22,23]. A few studies have evaluated the effect of weight loss programs on ox-LDL lipoproteins [15,24,25], anti ox-LDL and PON1 [26] in obese pediatric populations.…”
