Key result
A six-month aerobic exercise program significantly reduced serum insulin levels to 7.63 mIU/ml compared to 11.46 mIU/ml in the control group among sedentary obese women.
Why the study?
Does six months of aerobic exercise improve serum levels of insulin, GH, and IGF-1 in sedentary obese women?
RCT (n=15)
Randomized

Does six months of aerobic exercise improve serum levels of insulin, GH, and IGF-1 in sedentary obese women?
Six months of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise significantly reduces serum insulin levels in sedentary obese women, potentially improving metabolic health.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports aerobic exercise to lower insulin in sedentary obese women; confirms RCT efficacy for metabolic improvement.
Background and Objectives: Inactivity, obesity and hormone disorders can lead to various diseases in obese and non-athletic individuals. The objective of this study was to investigate effects of six months of aerobic exercise on serum levels of insulin, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth hormone 1 (IGF-1) in sedentary obese women.

Moazami et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in Sedentary obesity (n=15). Aerobic exercise vs. No exercise was evaluated on Serum insulin level (mIU/ml) (p=0.009). A six-month aerobic exercise program significantly reduced serum insulin levels to 7.63 mIU/ml compared to 11.46 mIU/ml in the control group among sedentary obese women.
