The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nonlinear resistance training with dill extract on adropine and its relationship with insulin resistance in type ۲ diabetic patients. ۳۲ patients with type ۲ diabetes were divided into four groups: resistance training, supplementation, resistance training + supplementation, and placebo. Interventions were performed for ۱۲ weeks. Consumption of dill included ۳۰۰ mg / kg body weight per day. Nonlinear resistance training, consumption and their combination significantly reduced blood sugar and insulin resistance and significantly increased adropine levels (P <۰.۰۵). These changes were significantly greater in the exercise and dill combination groups. The relationship between adropine changes and insulin resistance was also significant and negative (P <۰.۰۵). Adropine may play a role in reducing insulin resistance following nonlinear resistance training. Consumption can increase the effects of exercise.
