Aerobic Exercise Training Increases Circulating sRAGE in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: Associations With Sheddase Regulation

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

AET increased circulating sRAGE and improved select metabolic health outcomes in adults with T2DM.

Study context

Population
Sedentary adults with T2D
Participants
33 adults
Comparison
Supervised aerobic exercise training vs standard of care control
  • Aerobic exercise training (AET)n = 20
  • Control (CON)n = 13reference
Methodological detailssupervised aerobic exercise training
  • Supervised aerobic exercise training

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

12 weeks
  • AET increased circulating sRAGE concentrations across the intervention period
  • sTLR4 was unchanged

Further findings

Metabolic and fitness outcomes

AET improved cardiorespiratory fitness, reduced body fat percentage and fat mass, lowered fructosamine and increased the Matsuda Index

Skeletal muscle inflammatory signalling

Significant alterations in selected TIMP:MMP and TIMP:ADAM10 ratios; no changes in ADAM10 activity or skeletal muscle RAGE protein expression

Exploratory: change in sRAGE vs aerobic fitness

Associations between changes in circulating sRAGE and aerobic fitness
  • Exploratory analyses
