Combined high-intensity interval training and spirulina supplementation synergistically improve inflammatory and lipid-associated biomarkers in men with obesity.
What's New
Combined HIIT and spirulina supplementation was associated with greater changes in inflammatory and lipid-related biomarkers than either intervention alone in men with obesity.
Detailed Summary
A 12-week randomized trial assigned 64 men with obesity to control, spirulina (6 g/day), HIIT, or combined HIIT plus spirulina groups. The combined group demonstrated the most pronounced changes, including elevated IL-10 and ApoM, reduced IL-1β, increased S1P, and decreased Dectin-1 (P<.05), while individual interventions showed more limited effects.
Study Population
64 men with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²), aged 20-35 years
