Abstract: | The purpose of the study was to determine whether exercise would activate JNK in the heart and whether chronic exercise training would alter the response. Untrained rats were familiarized with the treadmill and assigned to one of four groups: low intensity (LI), 10 min, 0%, 15 m/min; medium intensity (MI), 10 min, 0%, 33 m/min; high intensity (HI), 10 min, 25%, 33 m/min; long duration (LD), 30 min, 0%, 15 m/min. Another cohort of rats was subjected to a progressive 6 wk high-intensity training protocol that produced a 12% increase in heart mass. In untrained rats, JNK activity was LI: 1.5 (fold nonrun control), MI: 2.0, HI: 2.5, LD: 1.25 immediately after a single bout of exercise. In trained rats, no activation of JNK above baseline was detected after either a 10-min or 1-h bout of exercise. We concluded that treadmill exercise activates JNK in the rat heart in an intensity-dependent manner and that chronic training abrogates the myocardial JNK response to a bout of exercise. |
