Abstract:
The change in phenotype of adipose tissue as a result of practice is a new theory that
has recently been proposed and its cell-molecular mechanism is under investigation.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval associated
with consumption of L-Carnitine on body composition factors in the selective Orexin
hormone. The population was trained overweight women, 25 to 35, and out of which,
40 persons voluntarily participated in the study and were divided randomly into 4
groups of 10 people of L-Carnitine, placebo, HIIT and placebo, HIIT L-carnitine. For the
sports background and non-suffering of disease, a questionnaire was used. After
explaining on implementing the protocol, measuring body composition and blood
samples were conducted. Next, the subjects were participated in an intense training
programme (with a maximum power) during 12 sessions. Each of the exercise includes
a 10-minute warm-up and then a repeated 10 times for 30 seconds and, then, cool down
was performed in 5 to 10 minutes. Forty-eight hours after the last training session, the
necessary measurement of body composition and blood samples were conducted and
data were analyzed using SPSS software and statistical methods. Four weeks of taking
L-carnitine, HIIT training with placebo and with L-Carnitine has a significant effect on
the percentage of body fat in overweight trained women. Four weeks of HIIT training
with L-Carnitine had a significant effect on the percentage of body fat.

Introduction
Feeling the joy is the most important indicators of life quality and can be an indicator of
the level of success in life (Third,
. In today’s society, there is too much socio-
cultural emphasis on physical fitness and attractiveness. According to the researches,
social pressures about weight loss and extensive ideas about the structure of the body
has led to body dissatisfaction and negative body image among society and especially
women. There are countless factors that affect the variation in body mass, including
age, marital status, childbirth, physical activity rat (Zarshenas et al, 2010). There are
various methods for the treatment of overweight and obesity, including medication,
surgery types, types of exercise and diet which, due to being time consuming,
expensive and side effects of other methods, nowadays, sport and physical activity is
considered more as a therapy (Zarshenas et al., 2010). Training should be based on the
characteristics of the physical, physiological features, scientific theories, and relevant
needs. Factors should be considered such as energy devices involved, movement
patterns and effective characteristics on the performance (Rodas et al., 2000). Muscle
changes resulting from exercise, can be adjusted by the structure of the training
program. Manipulation, intensity and duration of activity, and recovery time between
bouts of activity, change the needs muscle-cells and metabolic pathways (Hossaini,
2008).
There are several exercises such as plyometric training, endurance training,
weight training, stretching, exercises and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and
Fartlek training. In recent years, the use of training HIIT, which includes short-term
activities with maximal and sub-maximal intensity of work has been increased, and are
common in instead of continuous aerobic exercises and cardiovascular disease in
athletes and improves
(maximum oxygen intake), aerobic and anaerobic
metabolism, reducing the reliance on carbohydrate and fat, improving insulin function,
reduced blood pressure, heart disease, improving the performance of the two indices of
sympathetic activity and Endothelia performance (Badri, 2014).
L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is a nutrient as vitamins, which in small amounts in animals’ body, is
synthesized from two essential amino acids lysine and methionine and causes the
release of energy from fat cells. On average, there is 20-25 grams of L-carnitine in the
body. It causes the transferring of fatty acids into the mitochondria. Carnitine is formed

in muscle tissue and liver, and existed in some foods such as red meat, poultry, fish and
some dairy products (Shaker Hosseini et al, 2005). The main function of carnitine in the
body is help to metabolism and convert food into energy. It does this by transferring
long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. On the other hand, the
use of fat as an energy source saves the consumption of muscle glycogen. And by
maintaining glycogen, stores lead to a delay in the onset of fatigue. Mitochondrial can
be considered the engine room of body cells. In fact, the energy needed is produced in
this part of the cells. Some evidence suggests that the dose of L-Carnitine increases in
childhood and pregnancy and breastfeeding as the body needs more energy. The
increased demand led to increased production of Carnitine by the body (Deragan et al,
1987). It also appears that L-Carnitine is needed to improve heart function. For example,
a study has shown that the abnormal function and abnormal heart pounding is greatly
reduced after 45 weeks of 4 gr L-carnitine per day in diabetic patients - In addition to
high blood pressure, they suffer heart problems. Another study has shown that daily
consumption of L-Carnitine in up to 25% Athletes can even enhance the ability and
physical capacity. People who use L-carnitine supplements after exercise to a lesser
extent are experiencing fatigue. The studies have shown that the use of L-carnitine two
hours before and after running a distance of 20 km, causes less fatigue and faster
recovery of physical force. L-Carnitine intake of 100 mg per kg of body weight by
children with thalassemia major for 3 months reduced body needs to refine their blood
(Akbari et al., 2009).
Generally, body’s cells for the synthesis of L-carnitine need the vitamins B6, C,
B3 (niacin) but the plant foods are not a good source of it. Other studies have shown the
anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of L-carnitine and its positive effects in
improving some health problems, including irregular heartbeat, inflammation of the
heart muscle and angina, as well as the use of high doses of immune responses in
patients with AIDS (Ashtiyani et al, 2009).
According to the findings of researchers, taking this supplement in a large
number of athletes aims to free fatty acids in the membrane of mitochondria and
ultimately to increase performance (Paul et al, 2000).
In general, L-carnitine increases ATP production through facilitating the
transport of fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix and stimulating the betaoxidation. Also, it has an antioxidant (Ashtiyani et al., 2009). Carnitine, as a biological
agent, facilitate long-chain fatty acid oxidation of the energy needed to produce heart
cells and others tissues. Adjusting the ratio between the COA-SH and Acetyl-COA and
acyl groups to trap and stabilize the cell membrane is among its important effects. It has
been introduced as a protective agent against free radicals and possibly transcriptional

control it. L-carnitine, in fact, is a drug to treat patients that their bodies do not produce
enough carnitine.
Carnitine deficiency in patients with fatigue syndrome improves the function of
red blood cells in patients on dialysis, and dialysis treatment in their subsequent
syndrome, increase exercise tolerance in patients with angina, improve cardiac function
in congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness reform, slow growth,
and impaired motor skills in children and premature infants, corrected for body weight
reduction, treatment of poisoning and sodium valproate, preserve muscle glycogen
stores and... (Farlong et al, 1996). Now, its use as a way to prevent injuries are being
considered as enters the tissue as an effect of chemotherapy (Martidal, 2002). Carnitine
deficiency in fitness program (muscle strengthening) is to prevent muscle cramps
during hemodialysis and to help improve heart function that taking carnitine isomer D
is very limited and only under the supervision of Genetics (Najafi et al, 2003).
Lipid Metabolism
Fat, a major source for working muscles during exercise, is the consequence of long
chain fatty acids from adipose tissue into muscle. The degradation of fatty acids from
adipose tissue triacylglycerol and fatty acid release and removal of fat tissue is called
the setup process. There is some evidence that intramuscular triacylglycerol in
providing the enabling environment for energy during exercise is useful but not
convincing. But the importance of exercise intensity and different time remains
somewhat ambiguous. The first happen in the regulation of fat breakdown muscle is
activation of the lipase triacylglycerol including fatty lipase triacylglycerol (newly
discovered) and hormone-sensitive lipase. For oxidation, all of the fatty acids binding
protein in the cytoplasm, should be transferred to mitochondrial outer membrane, the
cell either outside or inside the muscle cell and, then, be activated with coenzyme A,
which if not activated, would convert to fatty acyl carnitine fatty acyl. This combination
is transferred by a transferee across the mitochondrial membrane, while carnitine is
moving in the opposite direction of this action. Recent evidence also suggests that the
transfer of fatty acyl-carnitine complex protein transport across the membrane in some
unknown status fat are the same fatty acids transmitters. Within the mitochondria,
carnitine is removed. Coenzyme A turns to carnitine palmitoyl-transferase II by the
enzymes of fatty acid rebound in long chains. Acyl coenzyme A fat molecule is then
metabolized in the oxidation of acetyl coenzyme A and B, with production declining
balance, are reducing Flavin adenine dinucleotide. Reducing balance is used directly in
the electron transport chain, while the acetyl coenzyme A which is metabolized on track

to more carboxylic acid with excess production loss of balance. Electron transport chain
allows the loss of balance to produce a proton motive force recognizes that converts
non-organic chemical energy into adenosine triphosphate synthesis of adenosine
diphosphate. While in the process of oxidative phosphorylation, it consumes oxygen
(Holly He et al, 2009). Potential locations metabolism in skeletal muscle and fat
oxidation during prolonged exercise control include:
1. Analysis of adipose tissue, the release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue, and
receive free fatty acids to your muscles.
2. Free fatty acids movements across the membrane of the muscle.
3. Transfer control of free fatty acids in the cytoplasm.
4. Analysis of intramuscular triacylglycerol.
5. Transferring of free fatty acids in the mitochondrial membrane.
6. Presumably, regulating the oxidation process B.
Finally, a pervasive aspect of metabolism and oxidation of fat is skeletal muscle
mitochondrial volume which determines the overall capacity to oxidize fat (Sahlin,
2009). Shakiba et al (2013) investigated the effect of orexin B-17 gel aromatase and
estradiol concentrations in the nucleus of the ventromedial hypothalamus of 40 adult
male rats, and found that there are ventromedial hypothalamic neurons secreting
estradiol in the area and hypothalamic area trawl.
Baghaei et al
, in a study titled “the relationship between total antioxidant
and the enzyme creatine phosphate kinase as hydrogen peroxide in female athletes,
affected by intensive training found that the immune system in response to intense
physical exercise prevent the injury by increasing the antioxidant levels in tissues from
damage caused by H2O2 and CPK. In this study, 25 female athletes, 21 to 24, in three
phases: before exercise (GXT103) and three hours later, were taken blood samples from
the brachial vein. Shekarzadeh et al (2012) inspected the effects of diazinon on liver
glutathione levels in rats and the protective effect of selenium and L-carnitine and
concluded that selenium and L-carnitine improves antioxidant status in front of
diazinon pesticide.
Khaza’ali et al
investigated the effect of stress induced by intravenous
injection of epinephrine and cortisol on the secretion of orexin in rats fed with different
energy levels. They concluded that Ark Syn injection inhibited the epinephrine
secretion induced by starvation in mice that were fed a diet of 100% and 50%. Suri et al
(2012) studied the impact of high intensity intermittent exercise on changes in cell
adhesion molecules (Sicam-1) plasma lipid profile and body composition in obese
sedentary men and concluded that the intensity interval exercise resulted in a
significant reduction in intercellular adhesion molecules and improved the lipid profile.

In this study, obese sedentary subjects with a mean age 55 ± 1.34 were divided into two
groups. Syahkoyan et al (2012) studied the effect of intense interval training and MCT
program on indicators of aerobic and anaerobic athlete at the boys and found that
intensive interval training method compared to the MCT program causes similar
adaptation in heart fitness - endurance. Training sessions were performed three times a
week for 8 consecutive weeks.
Hemmati Nafar et al (2012) studied the impact of high-intensity interval training
(HIIT) on plasma levels of adiponectin and insulin sensitivity young men passive
resistance in 2012. They found that performing HIIT in terms of time is an effective
agent for increasing adiponectin levels and decreasing body fat percentage. Also, the
intensity of exercise can be noted as a crucial factor in the increase in adiponectin levels.
In this study, 18 students were randomly assigned to two experimental and control
groups. Blood samples were collected fasting one day before and then after the exercise
protocol. Also, Hemmati Nafar et al (2012) studied the effect of 6 weeks of highintensity interval (HIIT) on fibrinolytic agents (t-PA and PAI-1 and PAI-1 complex and
t-PA) inactive young men and concluded that effective implementation of the 6 weeks
of HIIT, in addition to reducing body fat and increasing aerobic fitness, improves
fibrinolysis process in sedentary young men. The study subjects were 18 inactive young
men who were divided into two experimental and control groups. Each session
consisted of 4 to 6 reps running with maximum speed and 30 seconds recovery at
intervals of rest. Parra et al (2000) studied HIT training varies with the frequency. Both
programs significantly increased glycolytic enzymes phospholipase Fructo kinase and
aldolase enzyme acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase oxidative citrate synthase and 3hydroxy. The findings show that 14 sessions of HIT improve glycolytic and oxidative
enzyme activity and the changes will be affected by periods of rest between strength
training sessions.
Larsen et al (2002) studied the effect of 4 weeks of HIT (12 repetitions of 30
seconds at 175% of maximum aerobic power and 4.5-minute recovery between
repetitions, 2 times a week) and regular exercise and low intensity in ten trained
cyclists. Stokes et al (2004) investigated the effect of 6-week sprint training (including
training, cycling Speed 2 sessions per week endurance and sprint training 1 session per
week) on the response to growth hormone (HGH) and some of the physiological and
metabolic variables. After exercise, maximum and mean increased 6 and 5%,
respectively. The maximum concentration of blood lactate increased and blood lactate
recovery period and plasma concentration decreased after exercise. The study showed
that 6 weeks of combination of speed and speed - endurance decreased the human

growth hormone response to exercise reduces despite the improvement in speed

Discussion and Conclusion
Improvement of percentage of body fat
This research shows that HIIT training for four weeks with L-Carnitine intake had a
significant impact on the percentage of body fat that are in parallel with the research
findings of Tremblay (1994), Moriri (1997), Haghighi (2010), Whelan (2000) and Alex
(2004). HIIT training program with the use of L-carnitine, is not removing or completely
eliminating fat from the body, but help to achieve an appropriate level of body fat.
Although the percentage of body fat and blood lipids are two separate issues, but they
are in common in some cases including a high percentage of body fat (overweight and
obesity), as well as blood lipids (triglycerides, cholesterol and LDL) are somehow
associated with cardiovascular disease. The results of academic research show that to

reduce the percentage of body fat (obesity) and blood lipid regulation, regular physical
activity plays a critical role. In this regard, Tremblay et al (1994) studied the effects of
HIIT with continuous moderate-intensity exercise for 30 minutes five times a week,
reduce the percentage of fat in young men and women. The results showed that the
HIIT group was significantly reduced compared to moderate intensity for more fat
percentage. Moriri et al (1997) reported a decrease of 48% in visceral fat and 18 percent
fat loss under the skin after eight weeks (Two sessions per week of physical activity a
steady state and a session HIIT) in men and women with type 2 diabetes (Moriri et al
1997).
The researchers showed that aerobic training alone reduces fat percentage and
weight loss, if practiced for more than a year with large volume (800 minutes per week)
or at 80 percent of maximum heart rate (Wilani, 2000). Interval training is one of the
optional protocol that plays a role in controlling body composition by reducing appetite
(by facilitating the release of Corticotropin factor) and by increasing fat oxidation
(Butcher, 2010). L-Carnitine supplementation and six weeks’ aerobic exercises causes a
significant decrease in body fat percentage, but there is no effect on body mass index
and weight (Haghighi et al, 2010). Research shows that supplementation with Lcarnitine accelerates fat oxidation in overweight subjects and reduces body fat
percentage (Alexi et al, 2004).
HIIT exercise and consumption of L-Carnitine had an impact on improving body
fat percentage, body mass index and overweight trained women, while these changes
are not in parallel with orexin changes. On the other hand, non-significant changes
reported in levels of orexin may be related to the type, length, volume and training
intensity, duration and hours of sleep, mood and nutrition.
