Resumo (PT): Sub clinical chronic inflammation could be a unifying factor linking type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerosis. The beneficial effects of physical activity in reducing the risk of CHD could at least in part be mediated by improving the inflammatory markers. We examined the putative effects of exercise training on insulin levels, hs-CRP, uric acid and pro-inflammatory markers IL-6 and TNF-alpha, in the T2D model Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. <br> <br> <br> <br>
