[ effect of eight weeks selected aerobic exercise on liver parenchyma and liver enzymes [AST, ALT] of fat liver patients]

ABSTRACT

Fatty liver disease is a kind of fat accumulation in the liver cells which uncontrolled subjects have a trend to parenchymal fibrosis and cell death. This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks elected aerobic exercise on the levels of AST, ALT enzymes and liver parenchyma of male patients with fatty liver, aged 20 to 45 years in Shooshtar, Iran. In this study, 24 patients referred to sonography clinics of Shooshtar, Iran with the diagnosis of fatty liver disease were selected randomly and divided to control and experimental groups. The serum ALT and AST were measured and liver sonography was done before intervention in both groups. After eight weeks aerobic exercise with intensity of 50 to 70 VO2 Max in case group, the tests were performed for both groups. Descriptive analysis and t-test were performed using SPSS. The results showed that ecogenesity of liver parenchyma was decreased in the post-test in comparison to pre-test [83.2%] and the serum AST and ALT of experimental group were decreased in comparison to control group [P<0.05]. It can be concluded that eight weeks aerobic exercise has significant effects on the fatty liver disease
