Background and Purpose: Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders worldwide. Considering the complications and problems caused by diabetes, the use of herbal medicines can be a therapeutic and controlling method. Moreover, exercise is an important therapeutic component of type 2 diabetes. Given the limited information in these cases, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 10 weeks of total body resistance training with chamomile extract supplementation on serum lipocalin-2 levels and glycemic indices in type 2 diabetic women.
Materials and Methods: For this purpose, in a double-blind clinical trial, 44 inactive diabetic women aged 40 to 60 years (mean, height, 159.45 cm; weight, 76.83 kg; age, 51.25 years; BMI 30.24 kg/m2) were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into four groups (n=11 per group), including the exercise + supplement group, exercise + placebo group, chamomile group, and placebo group. The exercise protocol consisted of 10 weeks of TRX training, 3 sessions per week (at an intensity corresponding to 13-17 Borg scale). The supplement and placebo groups received three 500 mg capsules daily containing chamomile extract and placebo (corn starch powder). Lipocalin 2, fasting blood sugar, insulin, and insulin resistance levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc and paired t-tests.
Results: Blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance index levels in all three study groups showed a significant decrease compared to the placebo group (p = 0.001). However, lipocalin 2 was significantly reduced only in the exercise+supplement and exercise+placebo groups compared to the placebo group (p = 0.001). Furthermore, the exercise+supplement group had a significant difference in blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance index variables compared to the exercise+placebo and chamomile groups (p = 0.005). In addition, in the case of lipocalin-2, the exercise+supplement group had a significant difference compared to the chamomile group (p = 0.005), though, there was no significant difference compared to the exercise+placebo group.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of present study, it could be concluded that performing whole body resistance training with chamomile extract supplementation can reduce fasting blood sugar, insulin, insulin resistance, and lipocalin 2 levels in women with type 2 diabetes and be beneficial in improving women's health.
