Abstract :
Background: Today, researches have shown that the combination of some herbal supplements and doing sports exercises can have more effects on the recovery of some diseases. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training and papaya supplement consumption on the lipid profile of men with fatty liver. Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the present study included all men with fatty liver in Yazd city, among whom there were 60 men with an average age of 25 to 35 years and a body mass index between 25 and 35 kg/m2, were randomly divided into four groups of 15 including aerobic exercise group, aerobic exercise group-papaya supplement, papaya supplement group and control group. The subjects of the training and training-supplementary group performed aerobic exercise according to the given program for eight weeks, three sessions per week and each session lasted for 70 minutes. In the same period, the supplement and training groups also received a papaya supplement in the form of capsules at a dose of 30 mg per kilogram of body weight every day after dinner. Karika Papaya Slim capsules produced in the Philippines in 2021 were prepared. Blood samples were taken from the subjects in the fasting state and at night, 72 hours before and after 8 weeks of training. Data analysis at the level of descriptive statistics using mean and standard deviation tests and at the level of inferential statistics after checking the normality of the data by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test were used. A significant level was considered in the current research (P<0.05) and all statistical steps were performed using spss25. Results: he present study showed that eight weeks of aerobic training with papaya supplementation had a significant effect on serum levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (TG) However, there was no significant change in the level of cholesterol (TC) (P>0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained from the present research, it is possible to use aerobic exercise and papaya supplement separately and especially simultaneously to improve the lipid profile of patients with fatty liver.
