Abstract

Obesity can destroy tissues and cause metabolic and chronic diseases. It is well-established that obesity damages liver tissue, and it is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma Regular physical activities, especially aerobic exercise, have been introduced as a beneficial non-drug treatment without side effects and improves liver function under obesity conditions. Evidence Acquisition: This bibliometric article analyzes trends in publications relating to aerobic training on the liver under obesity conditions. The Magiran database was used, and articles without the desired keywords were collected. Journals that published more articles in this field, keywords were used more by authors, and prolific authors were analyzed and identified by VOS viewer software. Results: The results showed that aerobic exercise, obesity, and the liver, especially at the cellular level, are an attractive and relatively novel topics for researchers. The articles in recent years have had an upward trend, and the journals of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences and the Yafteh Journal of Medical Sciences have the highest number of publications. Conclusions: In general, studying the impact of aerobic training on the liver in obesity cases represents a novel area of research. Investigating this at the cellular and molecular levels will provide more insightful insights.
