Abstract
Background: About two thirds of type 2 diabetic patients have fatty liver. According to researches, physical activity can improve fatty liver. However, the effect of yoga practice on fatty liver indices has not been fully determined yet. Therefore, this research was conducted in order to investigate the effect of cyclic yoga practice on some fatty liver indices fatty liver index (FLI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), and Framingham steatosis index (FSI)) of type 2 diabetic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Methods: In this research, 40 diabetic patients with NAFLD assigned to a cyclic yoga exercise group (n=20, 49.33±4.99 years) or a control group (n=20, 50.33±4.98 years) based on fatty liver grade. The subjects performed cyclic yoga exercises for two months. Patients underwent liver ultrasound under the supervision of a radiologist and ultrasound specialist to check the grade of fatty liver. Blood sampling, body composition measurement and fatty liver grade measurement were performed in pre-test and post-test. One-Way ANOVA was used for group comparison and dependent t-test was used for in-group measurement in this study. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 24 software.
Results: A statistically significant reduction was observed in FLI, HIS and FSI in experimental group (p≤0.05). There was a significant difference between the two groups in HIS and FSI in the post-test, too (p≤0.05). None of the factors were significant in the control group.
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that cyclic yoga practice can improve fatty liver indices in type 2 diabetic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver.
