The Claim
In spontaneously hypertensive rats, 10 weeks of aerobic exercise was associated with a 45% reduction in serum RBP4 levels, a 26% improvement in insulin sensitivity, and a 55% increase in plasma membrane GLUT4 expression in epididymal fat, suggesting a metabolic adaptation linked to improved glucose regulation.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When rats with high blood pressure did regular exercise for 10 weeks, their bodies showed signs of better blood sugar control—like less of a certain protein in the blood, better insulin response, and more sugar transporters in fat cells.

What the research says
1 studyThe study found that when rats with high blood pressure exercised for 10 weeks, their body improved how it uses sugar — lower RBP4, better insulin response, and more GLUT4 in fat tissue — just like the claim said.
