AB  - BACKGROUND: Adipokines have an important role in the pathophysiology of 
      overweight and obesity and associated inflammatory diseases. OBJECTIVE: The 
      present review aims to evaluate the role of Yoga on adipokines among people with 
      overweight and obesity. METHODS: Authors performed a systematic search for 
      relevant research studies as per the PRISMA guidelines in Google Scholar, 
      Medline/Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsychInfo electronic databases. Two 
      independent authors conducted the selection of articles, data extraction, 
      assessment of the risk of bias for individual studies. Any disagreements were 
      resolved by discussion with the third author. RESULTS: Eight randomized trials 
      and four uncontrolled trials involving a total of 1054 participants were 
      included. Yoga with varying frequencies was administered for different durations. 
      The studied adipokines among overweight and obese were leptin, adiponectin, 
      interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), chemerin, visfatin, 
      plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and transforming growth factor-beta 
      (TGF-beta). The methodological quality of the included studies was low to moderate 
      on the Cochrane risk of bias tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. 
      The higher the frequency and duration of Yoga practice, the more significant 
      changes in the adipokine levels were seen. CONCLUSION: The present review 
      indicates that Yoga practices positively impacts adipokines among people with 
      overweight and obesity. However, the present study precludes the generalizability 
      of results due to the methodological heterogeneity, the type of Yoga 
      intervention, and settings.
