Three months of supervised moderate-intensity physical exercise attenuates adipose tissue inflammation (decreased IL-6 and TNF-α) in obese adults, regardless of diabetes status, though it differentially modulates Heat Shock Protein 60 (HSP60) expression based on diabetic status.

Engage in 40 minutes of moderate exercise (keeping heart rate at 65-80% of max) three times a week. This specific protocol has been shown to reduce inflammation in fat tissue for obese individuals, whether they have diabetes or not. Supervision is recommended to ensure safety and correct intensity.

GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Physical exercise differentially alleviates cellular stress in obese adults with and without diabetes despite concomitant attenuation of the inflammatory response.
