Introduction: This preliminary study was to examine the effect of gender on blood chemistry parameters during exercise at low intensity in Thai patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM).
Methods: Ten Thai patients with T2DM (5 women and 5 men, aged between 30 and 60 years) who were diagnosed as T2DM for at least 1 year and were not taking insulin were recruited. They cycled on ergometer at a target workload equal to 25% of peak oxygen consumption for 10 minutes. Blood samples were taken to determine their glucose, lipid profiles and insulin levels immediately before and after the exercise.
Results: The average age of male and female subjects were 54±9.8 and 50±11.1 years. Peak oxygen consumption of male and female subjects were 23.7±3.0 and 18.6±8.2 ml/kgBM/min, respectively. Men had significantly higher waist circumference and waist/hip ratio than women. Before and after the exercise all blood parameters were not significantly different between genders. However after the exercise men had significantly increased triglycerides level whereas, women had significantly increased total cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C levels but decreased glucose level.
Conclusions: The present study suggests that there was no effect of gender on blood chemistry before and after exercise at low intensity in Thai patients with T2DM.
