Introduction: Some inflammatory factors predict cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of six weeks of oral intake of aqueous extract of mango tree along with total body resistance exercise (TRX) training on the serum levels of interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP) in inactive overweight and obese male students.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 48 overweight and obese inactive students aged 20-25 were purposefully selected, and after obtaining written consent from them, they were randomly divided into four groups of 12 individuals. These groups were called control, extract, exercise + placebo, and exercise + extract. The subjects performed TRX training for six weeks (three sessions per week) and consumed 500 mg capsules containing mango leaf extract and placebo twice daily before lunch and dinner. Serum levels of interleukin-6 and CRP were measured 24 h before and 48 h after the last training session. Data were analyzed with a dependent t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and significance level lower than 0.05 using the SPSS (version 25) software (P<0.05).
Result: A significant difference was observed in the levels of interleukin-6 and CRP in the exercise, extract, and exercise + extract groups compared to the pre-test (P=0.001). The pre- and post-test differences of the groups using one-way ANOVA on weight, body mass index (BMI), levels of interleukin-6, and CRP showed significant differences among groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Six weeks of mango leaf extract and TRX training may effectively reduce weight, BMI, as well as serum levels of interleukin-6 and CRP. On the other hand, one of the ways to control inflammation may be doing TRX exercises along with taking mango leaf extract.
