* Physical exercise for 6 months produced significant improvement in adiponectin, hs-CRP, and nitric oxide (NO) and was significantly correlated with adiposity markers, lipid profile and glycemic control factors in both obese and non-obese diabetic patients. * Patients with good physical activity reported a significant decrease in BMI, CHD risk scores, reduced hs-CRP, an increase in the levels of adiponectin and nitric oxide. * In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, adiposity markers, lipid profile, hs-CRP, and adiponectin were significantly improved following moderate exercise interventions
To elucidate the potential role of exercise as anti-adiposity and anti-cardio protective modulates, we thought to investigate the effect of supervised aerobic training of moderate intensity on adiposity markers, nitric oxide level, plasma adiponectin, hs-CRP, and its association with CHD risk score in obese and non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Estimation of coronary heart disease risk score
The incidence risk score of coronary heart disease among type 2 diabetic participants .patients were classified into T2DM patients with high CHD risk (UKPDS risk ; ≥ 20%), moderate CHD risk (UKPDS risk ; 10-20%), and low (UKPDS risk;\< 10%) .
Time frame: six months
Analysis of blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
Blood glucose was measured using a glucose oxidase and peroxidase (GOD-POD) colorimetric method before and after exercise training
Time frame: six months
Analysis of Nitric Oxide
Plasma NO concentration was estimated as nitrate and nitrite using High Performance Liquid Chromatography technology (HPLC). Patients were subjected for nitri oxide analysis before and after exercise training interventions
Time frame: six months
