Aim: Oxidative stress is an affective factor in insulin resistant, diabetes and other problems increasing blood glucose that seen in type 1 and 2 diabetes is an effective factor in producing oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of resistance training and Coriandrum sativum on oxidative stress factors in diabetic male rats. Method: The present experimental study was conducted on 40 adult male rats. After induction of diabetes, the rats were randomly divided into four equal groups (1: resistance training, 2: resistance training-Coriandrum sativum extract, 3: Coriandrum sativum extract, and 4: control). Diabetic condition was induced by using 55 mg af streptozotosin per one kg body weight. Then they performed 6 weeks of resistance training (five days a week for 6 weeks and with intensity of 30-100% rats weight) and drank oral Coriandrum sativum extract (150 mg/kg daily). After 6 weeks serum levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured. Results: The results showed that resistance training alonge with Coriandrum sativum extract increased serum levels of TAC, SOD and CAT (p<0.05) significantly. Also, TAC level was increased in resistance and Coriandrum sativum extract groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: It seems that six weeks at resistance training combined with Coriandrum sativum extract may have a positive effect on body anti-oxidant system and treatment of diabetes.
