Data_Leptin_SCI.xlsx

Listed in DataCite

The present study was designed to compare the body composition and indicators of chronic inflammatory grade, such as leptin, adiponectin, and resistin concentrations in irregularly active and active SCI subjects.

Description

Thirty-two male subjects participated in this study. They were divided into three groups: Able-bodied control irregularly active (Control, n = 11), irregularly active with SCI (SCI-IA, n = 8), and physically active with SCI (SCI-PA, n = 13).

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assessed serum concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, and resistin were assessed by the enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All volunteers performed the maximum oxygen uptake test (VO2max), 24 h total energy expenditure (TEE), and body composition by skinfold thicknesses. Leptin concentrations were higher in the SCI-IA group when compared to the other groups, while no significant differences were found between SCI- PA and Control cohorts.

In addition, no significant differences were found among groups for serum adiponectin and resistin concentrations either. The SCI-PA group showed significantly higher values for TEE and VO2max when compared to the other groups. Percentages of body fat and circumference were decreased in control and SCI- PA when compared to the SCI-IA cohort.

Associations between leptin and cardiorespiratory capacity, anthropometric markers were also observed. Our findings highlight that the lack of physical activity in the SCI subjects leads to poor general physical fitness and higher levels of body adiposity, which may induce hyperleptinaemia, an essential marker for cardiometabolic disorders.
