Background: Obesity is associated with a chronic inflammation that plays a major role in the development of metabolic disorders or insulin resistance.  The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise with curcumin supplementation on proinflammatory factors in obese men.
Materials and Methods: 20 obese men in the age range of 30 to 40 years were purposefully selected and randomly divided into two equals experimental (supplementary) and control (placebo) groups.  The experimental group participated in a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program (60-70% of maximum heart rate) for three weeks, three sessions per week, and each session lasted about 60 minutes.  At the same time, they took 500 mg of curcumin daily in capsule and placebo groups.  The control group also took a placebo (rice flour).  Before and after the supplementation training intervention, blood samples were taken from all subjects during 10 hours of fasting.  Inflammatory markers including TNFα, IL-1β   and BDNF were assessed by ELISA.  Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (p <0/05).
Results: The results showed that eight weeks of aerobic exercise with curcumin supplementation, in addition to improving body composition, caused a significant decrease in TNFα (p = 0/0001) and IL-1β (p = 0/0001) and also a significant increase in BDNF values ​​(p = 0/0001) in obese men.
Conclusion: The findings of this study show that curcumin supplementation along with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can improve inflammatory conditions in obese men.
Keywords: Obesity, Inflammation, Curcumin, Aerobic exercise.
