Student of Sport Physiology, University of Alzahra, Tehran Najme Rezaeian Assistant Professor of Sport Physiology, Bojnourd Branch, Islamic Azad University Journal Article 2016 01 31 Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is a protein inhibiting lipoprotein lipase. Serum levels of this protein increases in conditions of obesity and its related diseases. This study investigated the effect of resistance training on ANGPTL4 and lipids profile in postmenopausal women. For this purpose, 20 sedentary postmenopausal obese women (BMI 30.93±3.33Kg/m2, aged 57.8±5 years) randomly assigned in to experimental (n=12) and control (n=8) groups. Subjects in experimental group participated in 12 weeks of resistance training with free weight, include 8 move in three sets of 8-12 reparations at 40-65 percent of one reparation maximal, three sessions per week. Serum levels of ANGPTL4 and circulating levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL and VLDL, and anthropometric indices measured before and 24 hours after last training session. Statistical analysis was done by paired and independent t-test and Pearson correlation and P0.05). Also, it is possible, resistance exercise by decrease of body fat and decrease of serum levels of ANGPTL4 in Sedentary Postmenopausal Obese Women Can be effect in prevent and treat obesity and diseases depended on it such as cardiovascular disease.
