This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a 12-week structured lifestyle intervention-including supervised aerobic exercise and a calorie-restricted diet-on inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress biomarkers in overweight adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3-4). A total of 60 sedentary participants aged 36-58 years were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The primary outcomes included changes in TNF-α, IL-6, and sCRP levels. Secondary outcomes assessed oxidative stress markers (MDA, CD) and antioxidant enzymes (GSH, SOD, GPx).
