| Abstract | Background: ApoB and apoA-I are two major apolipoproteins, which are involved in lipid transport and in the processes causing atherosclerosis. Accordingly, it is suggested that these parameters might be better than conventional lipids to prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVDs). Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether in overweight females, the percentage changes of apolipoprotein B (apoB), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), and apoB/apoA-I ratio (aporatio) were as much as the percentage changes in conventional lipids following 8 weeks of two types of exercise protocols, which was carried out from January 2014 to March 2014 in Abadan. Methods: Thirty-six overweight females (aged 46 ± 5.45 years; height: 161 ± 0.48 cm; weight: 66.67 ± 5.1 kg) participant in this study and were allocated the one of the following groups, resistance group (RG, n = 12), endurance group (EG, n = 12), and control group (CG, n = 12). Prior to the start of the intervention, anthropometric measurements, body composition and blood pressure were measured in all subjects. Training groups completed an eight-week exercise program on three non-consecutive days per week. Plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), apoA-I, apoB, total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) levels were measured in three groups, pre-training and post-training. Results: In response to the two types of protocols, SG and EG showed an increase in the mean HDL level compared to the CG (P < 0.05). ApoB and apoA-I were statistically lower and higher in the training groups when compared with the control, respectively (P < 0.05). Aporatio was also significantly lower in training groups compared to the control (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between groups for other factors. Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, apos and the aporatio are at least as good as lipids and lipid ratios. Thus, apos and the apo-ratio are suitable if they are considered as predictors of CVDs. | en |
