Effects of a 12-Week Lifestyle Intervention on Health Outcome and Serum Adipokines in Middle-Aged Korean Men with Borderline High Blood Pressure

Abstract

These results suggest that a short-term (12 weeks) lifestyle intervention had positive effects on blood pressure control and weight reduction in the subjects, but not on their blood levels of adipokines. It is interesting that blood level of baseline leptin was negatively associated with the changes in blood pressure after this short-term intervention.
