Effects of exercise on C-reactive protein, inflammatory cytokine and adipokine in patients with type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Abstract
Objective C-reactive protein (CRP), inflammatory cytokines, and adipokines contribute to atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, and development of late-onset complication in patients with type 2 diabetes. We performed a systematic review to assess effects of exercise interventions on inflammatory markers/cytokines and adipokines.Materials/methods We searched electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry) and reference lists in relevant papers for articles published in 1966-2013. We selected studies that evaluated the effects of exercise intervention on inflammatory markers/cytokines and adipokines in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Weighted mean differences of exercise on outcomes were derived using fixed or random effect models; factors influencing heterogeneity were identified using meta-regression analysis.Results Fourteen randomized controlled trials (824 patients) were included in our meta-analysis. Exercise was associated with a significant in CRP=-0.66mg/l (95% CI, -1.09 to -0.23mg/l; -14% from baseline) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)=-0.88pg/ml (95% CI, -1.44 to -0.32pg/ml; -18% from baseline) but did not alter adiponectin or resistin levels; aerobic exercise program was associated with a significant change in leptin=-3.72ng/ml (95% CI, -6.26 to -1.18ng/ml; -24% from baseline). For IL-6, exercise was more effective in those with a longer duration in the program and larger number of sessions during study (p=0.001).Conclusions Exercise decreases inflammatory cytokine (CRP and IL-6) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Exercise could be a therapeutic option for improving abnormalities in inflammation levels in patients with diabetes.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Some have either shown a reduction in resistin levels [233] or no change [227] following aerobic or resistance exercise interventions.”
In the citing paper
“A meta-analysis focusing specifically on individuals with T2DM has also described decreased levels of IL-6 and CRP with aerobic exercise interventions [227], which emphasizes that the anti-inflammatory properties of exercise are strong regardless of preexisting metabolic status.”
In the citing paper
“Alternatively, the absolute change in levels of CRP or IL-6 with a healthy diet intervention (Neale et al, 2016), or aerobic exercise (Hayashino et al, 2014), is comparable to the absolute difference found in association with sleep disturbance.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
