The effect of the major dietary energy source (fat or carbohydrate) on some of the adaptations to physical training, particularly body composition and tissue glycogen concentrations, were studied in growing male Wistar rats. Resting liver glycogen concentrations were lower in both trained and sedentary rats fed a high fat diet compared to corresponding rats fed a high carbohydrate (low fat) diet. Trained rats on both diets had higher liver glycogen levels than corresponding sedentary controls. Resting gastrocnemius muscle glycogen concentrations were not influenced by diet or training. Rates of liver and muscle glycogen depletion during a 60-min swim were lower in trained rats but were not influenced by diet. Significant interactions were noted between the dietary energy source and exercise training with respect to body weight gain, body fat content, liver weight and liver glycogen concentrations. 相似文献

Endothelin (ET)-1 is produced by endothelial cells and cardiac myocytes. ET-1 has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart and causes myocardial cell hypertrophy. Exercise training induces a physiologic cardiac hypertrophy. To study whether myocardial ET-1 is involved in the formation of exercise training-induced cardiac hypertrophy, we investigated time-course alterations of myocardial ET-1 gene expression and ET-1 peptide level in the heart of rats during a formative process of exercise training-induced cardiac hypertrophy. We used the hearts of rats that had been exercise-trained for 4 weeks (4WT) or 8 weeks (8WT) and sedentary control rats for 4 weeks (4WC) or 8 weeks (8WC). Exercise-trained rats performed treadmill running for 5 days/week (60 mins/day). Left ventricular mass index and wall thickness and stroke volume index, measured using echocardiography, in the 8WT group were significantly greater than in the 8WC group, although there were no differences between the 4WC and 4WT groups in these parameters. These results indicated that the 8WT rats developed physiologic cardiac hypertrophy, whereas the 4WT rats did not yet have cardiac hypertrophy. Myocardial ET-1 gene expression and tissue ET-1 concentration in the heart were significantly higher in the 8WT group than in the 8WC group, whereas these values did not differ between the 4WC and 4WT groups. The present study suggests that an alternation of myocardial ET-1 production corresponds with the formation of exercise training-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, the exercise training-induced change in myocardial ET-1 production may participate in a mechanism of exercise training-induced cardiac adaptation (e.g., cardiac hypertrophy). 相似文献

Groups of lean or pre-obese LA/N-cp rats were subjected to a program of vigorous exercise (less than 4 hr/day) or remained sedentary from 6 weeks until 12 weeks of age. Sedentary pre-obese rats gained weight twice as rapidly as sedentary lean rats. Exercise treatment resulted in greater decrements in body wt in obese than in lean rats, but did not result in absolute weight loss in either group. At 12 weeks of age, fat pad weights in principle depots were 10-15 times greater in corpulent than in lean rats and were significantly smaller in the exercised groups of both phenotypes, and corresponded with lower relative adiposity compared to corresponding sedentary groups. Heart weights were greater in corpulent than lean, while gastrocnemius muscle weights were similar in both phenotypes. Exercise was without effect on the weight of either muscle tissue in either phenotype. Interscapular brown adipose tissue weights and the IBAT:BW ratio were greater in obese than in lean rats. IBAT weights were lower in exercised than sedentary rats of either phenotype, but the IBAT:BW ratio was lower only in the obese exercised rats. In sedentary rats, L-alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme activity were greater in obese than lean, and exercise treatment resulted in increased L-alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme only in lean rats. These results are consistent with a redistribution of energy expenditure from energy storing to energy dissipating pathways following vigorous exercise, resulting in slowed rates of weight gain and body fat accretion in both lean and obese animals, with the most significant decrements among pre-obese rats. 相似文献

Obesity and exercise lead to structural changes in heart such as cardiac hypertrophy. The underlying signaling pathways vary according to the source of the overload, be it physiological (exercise) or pathologic (obesity). The physiological pathway relies more on PI3K-Akt signaling while the pathologic pathway involves calcineurin-Nuclear factor of activated T-cells activation and fibrosis accumulation. Independently, exercise and polyphenols have demonstrated to prevent pathologic cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, we investigated the molecular adaptations of the combination of exercise training and grape polyphenols supplementation (EXOPP) in obese high-fat fed rats on heart adaptation in comparison to exercise (EXO), polyphenols supplementation (PP) and high-fat fed rats (HF), alone. Exercised and PP rats presented a higher heart weight/body weight ratio compared to HF rats. EXO and EXOPP depicted an increase in cell-surface area, P-Akt/Akt, P-AMPK/AMPK ratios with a decreased fibrosis and calcineurin expression, illustrating an activation of the physiological pathway, but no additional benefit of the combination. In contrast, neither cell-surface area nor Akt signaling increased in PP rats; but markedly decreased fibrosis, calcineurin expression, systolic blood pressure, higher SERCA and P-Phospholamdan/Phospholamdan levels were observed. These data suggest that PP rats have a shift from pathologic toward physiological hypertrophy. Our study demonstrates that polyphenols supplementation has physical-activity-status-specific effects; it appears to be more protective in sedentary obese insulin-resistant rats than in the exercised ones. Exercise training improved metabolic and cardiac alterations without a synergistic effect of polyphenols supplementation. These data highlight a greater effect of exercise than polyphenols supplementation for the treatment of cardiac alterations in obese insulin-resistant rats. 相似文献

Effects of beta-adrenergic blockade on training-induced structural adaptations in rat left ventricle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The study was designed to evaluate the effects of eight weeks of exercise training or training-beta-adrenergic blockade combination on gross and microscopic alterations of rat cardiac muscle and microvascular bed. Rats were randomly assigned to either sedentary control (C), trained (T), metoprolol-trained (MT), or propranolol-trained (PT) groups. The training protocol involved treadmill running for 8 weeks at 0.5 ms-1, 20% grade. Earlier experiments by us showed this training protocol to be effective in producing significant changes in selected skeletal muscle enzyme activities in all trained groups. In the current study an absolute reduction in left ventricular (LV) weight was observed in the PT compared to the C group (0.91 +/- 0.02 vs. 1.04 +/- 0.04 g, P less than 0.05). LV weight in the T and MT groups was no different from C so that LV to BW ratio (mg.g-1) was significantly increased (P less than 0.05) due to a similar reduction in body weight (BW) in all three training groups. Morphometric analysis of LV myocardium revealed no significant differences in myocyte mean cross-sectional area (micron 2) in any of the groups (289 +/- 16-C, 332 +/- 20-T, 281 +/- 44-MT, and 273 +/- 12-PT). Capillary density independently calculated by light and electron microscopy was unchanged by training or training-beta-blockade combination. It was concluded that training of sufficient intensity and duration to produce skeletal muscle enzyme adaptations does not necessarily produce myocyte hypertrophy or alter LV capillarity. Additionally functioning beta-adrenergic receptors appear to play a role in both the central and peripheral adaptations to endurance exercise training. 相似文献

In the present study, effects of voluntary exercise in an obese animal model were investigated in relation to the rhythm of daily activity and ghrelin production. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were fed either a high fat diet (HFD) or a chow diet (CD) from four to 16 weeks old. They were further subdivided into either an exercise group (HFD-Ex, CD-Ex) with a running wheel for three days of every other week or sedentary group (HFD-Se, CD-Se). At 16 weeks old, marked increases in body weight and visceral fat were observed in the HFD-Se group, together with disrupted rhythms of feeding and locomotor activity. The induction of voluntary exercise brought about an effective reduction of weight and fat, and ameliorated abnormal rhythms of activity and feeding in the HFD-Ex rats. Wheel counts as voluntary exercise was greater in HFD-Ex rats than those in CD-Ex rats. The HFD-obese had exhibited a deterioration of ghrelin production, which was restored by the induction of voluntary exercise. These findings demonstrated that abnormal rhythms of feeding and locomotor activity in HFD-obese rats were restored by infrequent voluntary exercise with a concomitant amelioration of the ghrelin production and weight reduction. Because ghrelin is related to food anticipatory activity, it is plausible that ghrelin participates in the circadian rhythm of daily activity including eating behavior. A beneficial effect of voluntary exercise has now been confirmed in terms of the amelioration of the daily rhythms in eating behavior and physical activity in an animal model of obesity. 相似文献

The dysregulation of adipokine secretion owing to adiposopathy can contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-related disorders. Being that exercise is an advised strategy against obesity-induced adiposopathy, we aimed to analyze the role of physical exercise as a preventive and therapeutic strategy against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced adipokine and ghrelin alterations. Rats were pair-fed the Lieber De Carli standard diet (S, 35 Kcal% fat) or HFD (71 Kcal% fat) over 17 weeks. Animals were assigned into four groups as follows: standard diet sedentary (SS), standard diet voluntary physical activity (SVPA), high-fat diet sedentary (HS), and high-fat diet voluntary physical activity (HVPA). After 9 weeks of dietary treatment, half of the SS and HS animals were submitted to an 8-week endurance training program, standard diet endurance training (SET), and high-fat-diet endurance training (HET) groups, maintaining the respective diets. Although there were no changes in body weight, HFD increased visceral adiposity, percentage of large adipocytes, hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α, and leptin contents in epididymal adipose tissue (eWAT) and decreased plasma content of adiponectin (AdipQ). Both VPA and ET decreased visceral adiposity and percentage of large adipocytes in HFD-fed animals, but ET also increased the percentage of small- to medium-sized adipocytes. VPA increased plasma growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) and decreased leptin protein in HVPA group. ET decreased plasma insulin and leptin levels and eWAT HIF-1α and leptin expression in HET group. Moreover, ET improved insulin sensitivity, plasma high molecular weight, and AdipQ and ghrelin levels and increased eWAT and GHS-R expression. Our data suggest that exercise, particularly ET, reverted adiposopathy and related endocrine alterations induced by an isocaloric HFD pair-fed diet. 相似文献

The present study was designed to develop an animal model of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy associated with obesity in female rats. Furthermore, we studied the involvement of the natriuretic peptide system in the mechanisms of these conditions. Obesity was induced in Wistar rats by a high fat diet and ovariectomy. The rats were divided into four groups: ovariectomized or sham-operated with high-fat diet and ovariectomized or sham-operated with control diet. After 24 weeks of diet, rats were killed, and their tissues were removed. Cardiac atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), clearance receptor (NPr-C) gene expression was determined by PCR. ANP concentrations were measured in plasma. Ovariectomized fat-fed rats (OF) showed increased body weight, visceral fat depot and blood pressure and decreased sodium excretion compared to other groups. Also, these rats showed higher heart-to-body weight and cell diameters of ventricular cardiomyocytes and lower cardiac ANP mRNA and plasma ANP than the control group. The adipocyte and renal NPr-C mRNA of OF rats were higher than the control group. These data showed that combined ovariectomy and high fat diet elicited obesity, hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. These results suggest that the impairment of the natriuretic peptide system may be one of the mechanisms involved not only in development of hypertension but also in cardiac hypertrophy associated with obesity in ovariectomized rats. 相似文献

Cardiac vessel density (beta-actin immunolabeling) and angiogenic capacity of coronary artery explants (culture in collagen gel) was determined in hypertrophied heart obtained by exercise training (10 wk) or ANG II infusion for 10 days. A group of rats received ANG II the last 10 days of training. The heart weight index was similarly elevated after exercise, and ANG II-hypertension compared with controls (3.16 +/- 0.09 and 3.11 +/- 0.11 vs. 2.68 +/- 0.08 mg/g, respectively), whereas tail cuff pressure (TCP) increased only in sedentary rats infused with ANG II. Vessel density was increased by 36% in trained rats and reduced by 30% in ANG II-infused rats. The number of sprouts generated by coronary rings was reduced by 50% in ANG II-infused rats and increased by 50% in exercise trained rats compared with controls (35 +/- 4 and 113 +/- 5 vs. 71 +/- 1 sprouts per ring, respectively). Exercise-training partly prevented the hypertensive effect of ANG II (TCP of 141 +/- 5 mmHg), whereas heart weight index (3.66 +/- 0.06 mg/g body wt) was not lowered. Myocardial vessel density was normalized, and sprouting from coronary rings increased by 50% in trained rats infused with ANG II compared with sedentary normotensive rats. Cardiac VEGF (Western blot analysis) was higher in hypertensive rats and not affected by exercise. Facing a similar increase in cardiac mass, intense training, but not ANG II hypertension, is accompanied by an increase in vascular density of the heart. The effect of training is unlikely related to changes in resting VEGF and may represent enhanced angiogenic capacity of the coronary vascular bed. 相似文献

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of exercise training on energy balance in male rats acclimated at two different environmental temperatures. Sedimentary and exercised rats were housed and trained at either 24 or 4 degrees C, with the training program consisting of running on a motor-driven treadmill within their respective environments. After 45 days, energy, protein, and fat contents of rats were determined together with the energy content of food and feces. The results show that metabolizable energy intake was reduced by 10% in exercise-trained groups. Substantial differences in energy gains were observed between sedentary and trained rats; sedentary rats showed almost three times more energy gain than trained rats. Carcass analysis revealed the energy gain differences to be mainly due to varied amounts of fat deposition. Energy expenditure (kJ) excluding the cost of exercise training was corrected for metabolic body size (BW 0.75), which in turn showed no significant differences between trained rats and their respective sedentary controls. The present results suggested that exercise training in rats leads to neither increase nor decrease in energy expenditure through components additional to physical activity. The present results also indicated that brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, as assessed through mitochondrial guanosine 5'-diphosphate binding, was not significantly modified by exercise training, regardless of the temperature at which the rats were housed and trained. 相似文献

Moderate physical training induced a decrease in arterial blood pressure in fish oil-fed rats as compared to sunflower seed oil-fed rats. The purpose of this study was to determine if these changes were due to modifications of the left ventricular function of the heart. Forty rats were fed a semi-purified diet containing either 10% sunflower seed oil or 10% fish oil (EPAX 3000TG, Pronova). Each dietary group was assigned to two sub-groups, one being constituted by sedentary animals and the other by trained animals. Training was achieved by daily running for 60 minutes at moderate intensity for three weeks. At the end of the training period, the animals were sacrificed and their hearts were immediately perfused according to the working mode. The phospholipid fatty acid composition and parameters of the left ventricular function were determined. Feeding fish oil markedly reduced the proportion of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA, 18:2 n-6, 20:4 n-6, 22:4 n-6 and 22:5 n-6) in cardiac phospholipids. The n-6 PUFA were replaced by n-3 PUFA (mainly docosahexaenoic acid). In sedentary animals, the fluid dynamic (aortic and coronary flow, cardiac output) was not modified by the diet. The heart rate was reduced (-10%) in n-3 PUFA-rich hearts. Physical training did not markedly alter the polyunsaturated fatty acid profile of cardiac phospholipids. Conversely, it reduced the heart rate, aortic flow and cardiac output (-11, -21 and -14%, respectively) at a similar extent in the two dietary groups. In a second set of experiments, the training period was repeated in animals fed a commercially available diet (A103, UAR) which simultaneously provided n-6 and n-3 fatty acids. In these dietary conditions, neither the aortic flow nor the heart rate was decreased by physical exercise. These results suggest that both n-6 and n-3 PUFA in the diet are necessary to ensure a good cardiac adaptation to moderate physical training. Furthermore, the fish oil-induced decrease in arterial blood pressure in trained animals was not related to changes in cardiac contractility, but to a decrease in vascular resistances. Moderate physical training + dietary n-3 PUFA might be used to prevent hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献

Combined effects of hypertension and conditioning on coronary vascular reserve in rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To evaluate the combined effects of cardiac overload imposed by hypertension and chronic swim training on coronary vascularity, female rats were made hypertensive by unilateral renal artery stenoses and were exercised in an 8- to 10-wk swimming program. Maximal coronary flow was assessed in isolated retrograde buffer-perfused hearts under conditions of minimal coronary resistance (15 microM adenosine or anoxia). Sedentary normotensive animals, sedentary hypertensive animals, and normotensive animals exposed to a swimming program were also studied. Swimming was associated with an 18% increase in heart weight and with increases in both absolute (ml/min) and relative (ml X g-1 X min-1) maximal coronary flow. Hypertension was associated with a 32% increase in heart weight but with a decrease in absolute and relative coronary flow compared with controls. The combined stimuli resulted in a 63% myocardial hypertrophy and a 19% increase in absolute flow. Relative coronary flow (g tissue-1) was similar in hearts from hypertensive sedentary animals and hypertensive swimmers. These data indicate that the coronary vascular deficit that accompanies the cardiac hypertrophy of hypertension is not worsened by the superimposition of an exercise load that exaggerates the hypertrophy. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of abdominal exercises on abdominal fat. Twenty-four healthy, sedentary participants (14 men and 10 women), between 18 and 40 years, were randomly assigned to 1 of the following 2 groups: control group (CG) or abdominal exercise group (AG). Anthropometrics, body composition, and abdominal muscular endurance were tested before and after training. The AG performed 7 abdominal exercises, for 2 sets of 10 repetitions, on 5 d·wk(-1) for 6 weeks. The CG received no intervention, and all participants maintained an isocaloric diet throughout the study. Significance was set at p = 0.05 for all tests. There was no significant effect of abdominal exercises on body weight, body fat percentage, android fat percentage, android fat, abdominal circumference, abdominal skinfold and suprailiac skinfold measurements. The AG performed significantly greater amount of curl-up repetitions (47 ± 13) compared to the CG (32 ± 9) on the posttest. Six weeks of abdominal exercise training alone was not sufficient to reduce abdominal subcutaneous fat and other measures of body composition. Nevertheless, abdominal exercise training significantly improved muscular endurance to a greater extent than the CG. 相似文献

Training-induced bradycardia and intrinsic heart rate in rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

After 10 weeks of treadmill training, female Sprague-Dawley rats had developed a bradycardia at exercise on submaximal work loads. This bradycardia was also present after autonomic denervation and in isolated perfused heart preparations. The heart weight/body weight ratio was increased in these trained animals compared to untrained littermates. Sympathectomized, trained rats developed the same degree of cardiac hypertrophy, but their heart rate after denervation and in the isolated heart was the same as in sympathectomized, untrained rats. It is concluded that the bradycardia of trained and thereafter denervated animals seen in this and a previous investigation represents an adaptation within the heart itself, since it was present in the isolated heart. These results thus provide further evidence for a non-neural component in training-induced bradycardia. Since the trained sympathectomized rats had a cardiac hypertrophy but no reduction of intrinsic heart rate, it seems likely that the myocardial mass is of minor importance for the level of intrinsic heart rate. 相似文献

Exercise training results in cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations that may be beneficial in menopausal women by reducing blood pressure, insulin resistance, and cholesterol level. The adaptation of the cardiac hormonal systems oxytocin (OT), natriuretic peptides (NPs), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in response to exercise training was investigated in intact and ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Ovariectomy significantly augmented body weight (BW), left ventricle (LV) mass, and intra-abdominal fat pad weight and decreased the expression of oxytocin receptor (OTR), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A), in the right atrium (RA) and LV, indicating estrogenic control of these genes. These effects of ovariectomy were counteracted by 8-wk-long exercise training which decreased fat pad weight (33.4 +/- 2.3 to 23.4 +/- 3.1 g, n = 8, P < 0.05), plasma free fatty acids (0.124 +/- 0.033 to 0.057 +/- 0.010 mM, n = 8, P < 0.01), and plasma triacylglycerol (0.978 +/- 0.174 to 0.588 +/- 0.115 mM, n = 8, P < 0.05). Chronic exercise tended to decrease BW and stimulated ANP (4- to 5-fold) and OTR gene expression in the LV and RA and BNP and inducible NOS (iNOS) mRNA in the LV. In sham-operated rats, exercise augmented ANP expression in the RA, downregulated GC-A mRNA in the LV and RA, but increased its expression threefold in the RA of OVX animals. Endothelial NOS and iNOS expression was enhanced in the left atrium of sham-operated rats. Altogether, these data indicate that in OVX animals, chronic exercise significantly enhances cardiac OT, NPs, and NOS, thus implicating all three hormonal systems in the beneficial effects of exercise training. 相似文献

Exercise training plays a major role in the improving physiology of diabetes. Herein we aimed to investigate the influence of exercise upon the calcium-dependent calpain-isoform expressions of lean or obese Zucker rats, a model of obesity and type II diabetes (NIDDM). Five-month-old rats were divided: (1) obese sedentary (OS, n=7); (2) obese exercise (OE, n=7); (3) lean sedentary (LS, n=7); (4) lean exercise (LE, n=7). After 2-month exercise (treadmill running), the body weight (BW) and expression of calpain 10, μ-calpain, and m-calpain in skeletal muscles were determined by RT-PCR, using β-actin as internal standard. We found exercise is useful for BW lossing, especially in the obese rats. The BW difference between OS and OE rats (69 g vs. 18.2 g) was more significantly than that between LS and LE rats (41.8 g vs. 28.7g). The calpain 10 expression of LS rats (0.965) was lower than that of LE rats (1.006), whereas those of OS and OE were comparable. The μ- or m-calpain expressions of sedentary groups (OS, LS) was significantly higher than those of exercise groups (OE, LE). The μ-calpain expression (1.13/0.92) and m-calpain expression (1.01/0.99) of OS/LS rats was significantly higher than those of OE/LE rats [1.07/0.9 (μ-calpain); 0.97/0.95 (m-calpain)]. We concluded that the μ- or m-calpains in skeletal muscle are regulated by exercise in both lean and obese Zucker rats. Exercise and BW controlling might improve the physiopathology of obesity and diabetes. Both μ- or m-calpains might become useful markers for prognoses of diabetes. 相似文献

Postmenopausal women tend to have a higher risk in developing obesity and thus metabolic syndrome. Recently we could demonstrate that physical activity and estrogen replacement are effective strategies to prevent the development of nutritional induced obesity in an animal model. The aim of this study was to determine the combined effects of estrogen treatment and exercise training on already established obesity. Therefore ovariectomized (OVX) and sham-operated (SHAM) female Wistar rats were exposed to a high fat diet for ten months. After this induction period obese SHAM and OVX rats either remained sedentary or performed treadmill training for six weeks. In addition OVX rats were treated with 17β-Estradiol (E(2)) alone, or in combination with training. Before and after intervention effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were investigated. Training resulted in SHAM and OVX rats in a significant decrease of body weight, subcutaneous and visceral body fat, size of adipocytes and the serum levels of leptin, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides. In OVX animals E(2) treatment resulted in similar effects. Often the combination of E(2) treatment and training was most effective. Analysis of the respiratory quotient indicates that SHAM animals had a better fat burning capacity than OVX rats. There was a tendency that training in SHAM animals and E(2) treatment in OVX animals could improve this capacity. Analysis of glucose metabolism revealed that obese SHAM animals had higher glucose tolerance than OVX animals. Training improved glucose tolerance in SHAM and OVX rats, E(2) treatment in OVX rats. The combination of both was most effective. Our results indicate that even after a short intervention period of six weeks E(2) treatment and exercise training improve parameters related to lipid as well as glucose metabolism and energy expenditure in a model of already established obesity. In conclusion a combination of hormone replacement therapy and exercise training could be a very effective strategy to encourage the therapy of diet-induced obesity and its metabolic consequences in postmenopausal women. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that running-wheel access normalizes the food intake and body weight of Otsuka Long-Evens Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. Following 6 wk of running-wheel access beginning at 8 wk of age, the body weight of OLETF rats remains reduced, demonstrating a lasting effect on their phenotype. In contrast, access to a high-fat diet exacerbates the hyperphagia and obesity of OLETF rats. To determine whether diet modulates the long-term effects of exercise, we examined the effects of high-fat diet on food intake and body weight in OLETF rats that had prior access to running wheels for 4 wk. We found that 4 wk of running exercise significantly decreased food intake and body weight of OLETF rats. Consistent with prior results, 4 wk of exercise also produced long-lasting effects on food intake and body weight in OLETF rats fed a regular chow. When running wheels were relocked, OLETF rats stabilized at lower levels of body weight than sedentary OLETF rats. However, access to a high-fat diet offset these effects. When OLETF rats were switched to a high-fat diet following wheel relocking, they significantly increased food intake and body weight, so that they reached levels similar to those of sedentary OLETF rats fed a high-fat diet. Gene expression determination of hypothalamic neuropeptides revealed changes that appeared to be appropriate responses to the effects of diet and running exercise. Together, these results demonstrate that high-fat diet modulates the long-lasting effects of exercise on food intake and body weight in OLETF rats. 相似文献
