Background: Nowadays, obesity can affect heart function and induced atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, and heart arrhythmia, which has become a major problem for global health. Objectives: The present study aimed to review the effect of six weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on gene expression levels of PGC-1α and eNOS in the heart tissue of obese male rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 14 high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats were divided into two groups of control and training. Also, 7 rats were placed in a non-obese control group to investigate the effects of obesity on research variables. During six weeks, rats in the training group performed HIIT three days per week. After six weeks, all rats were sacrificed, and their heart tissue was removed to measure the PGC-1α and eNOS gene expression. We used one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc tests (P ≤ 0.05) for statistical analysis. Results: HFD significantly decreased PGC-1α (P = 0.04) and eNOS (P = 0.001) gene expression, but HIIT significantly increased PGC-1α (P = 001) and eNOS (P = 0.001) gene expression. Conclusions: HIIT seems to improve cardiac gene expression levels of PGC-1α and eNOS of male obese rats.

AbstractObjectiveIt has been shown that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) leads to skeletal muscle hypertrophy; however, its mechanisms of cellular and molecular regulation are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of HIIT on muscle hypertrophy and major signal transduction pathways.Design12 male rats were randomly divided into two groups: control and HIIT. The exercise group performed 30-min HIIT in each session (5 × 4-min intervals running at 85–95% VO2max separated by 2-min active rest at 55–60% VO2max), 3 days/week for 8 weeks. Muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) and the expression of signal transduction pathway proteins were determined in the gastrocnemius muscle.ResultsIn the HIIT group, the expression of IGF-I, IGF-IR Akt, p-Akt, AMPKα, p-AMPKα and follistatin increased significantly, whereas a significant decrease was observed in the expression of FoxO1, p-FoxO1, myostatin, ActRIIB, Smad2/3 and p-Smad2/3 (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the HIIT and control groups in the expression of mTOR, p-mTOR, P70S6K, and p-P70S6K (P > 0.05). In addition, CSA and gastrocnemius muscle weight increased significantly in the HIIT group (P < 0.05).ConclusionsHIIT induced muscle hypertrophy by improving IGF-I/Akt/FoxO and myostatin/Smad signal transduction pathways.

Background and Aim: The use of doxorubicin (Dox) in chemotherapy has irreversible effects on liver tissue. Therefore, the role of exercise activities and the use of antioxidants consumption on the mechanism of apoptosis induced by (Dox are not yet fully understood. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and crocin consumption on liver tissue apoptosis in male rats under chronic Dox induction. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 40 male Wistar rats (mean weight 200±20 g)and age range of 8 weeks divided into five groups including; 1: healthy control groups, 2: Dox (2 mg/kg in 7 doses), 3: Dox+crocin (10 mg/kg), 4: Dox+HIIT, and 5: Dox+HIIT+crocin. The training groups ran for 8 weeks, 5 days a week, at 2-minute intervals and with an intensity of 80 to 90% of the maximum speed. 48 hours after the last training session, liver biopsy were performed to assess the fibrosis and expression of Bax and Bcl-2 genes by (Real time-PCR) method. The results of statistical analysis were analyzed using by one-way (ANOVA), at p≤0.05. Results: Dox significantly increased Bax expression compared to Bax/Bcl-2 and also decreased Bcl-2 expression in liver tissue of the patient groups (p=0.001). In contrast, crocin and the combination of exercise and crocin decreased Bax expression compared to Bax/Bcl-2 and increased Bcl-2 expression in experimental groups compared to Dox group (p=0.001). Conclusion: It seems the high intensity interval training with consumption of crocin has significant effect on the decrease of apoptosis in liver tissue in male rats subjected to chronic doxorubicin injection.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of detraining after 12 weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on the expression of AKT1 and mTORc1 genes in the left ventricle of wistar diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight wistar male rats were selected as the study sample and were divided in four groups of healthy control, diabetic control, diabetic HIIT and diabetic HIIT + detraining. The HIIT period was 12 weeks and the detraining period was 6 weeks. Each session consisted of 30 minutes, which included running on a treadmill with one-minute repetitions and a two-minute active recovery between them. To measure AKT1 mRNA and mTORc1 mRNA by RT-Real time PCR, a single-step single step SYBR TAKARA kits from Takara Company was used according to the company's instruction. Results: HIIT caused a significant increase in AKT1 gene expression (P-value= 0.001). AKT1 decreased with detraining that was not significant (P-value= 0.34) but it was still significantly higher than before training (P-value= 0.017). HIIT caused a significant increase in mTORc1 gene expression (P-value= 0.001) and although it decreased with detraining (P-value= 0.15) and it was no significantly higher than before training (P-value= 0.19). Conclusion: HIIT led to increased expression of AKT1 and mTORc1 genes in type 2 diabetic rats, while also producing favorable changes in the cardiac structure of these rats. Also, 6 weeks of detraining did somewhat reduce these favorable changes.

Introduction: Cardiovascular problems and atrial fibrillation is one of the most prevalent secondary consequences in hemodialysis patients. This study aimed to examine the effect of high intensity interval training on the level of atrial fibrillation, fibroblast growth factor 23 and Klotho in male rats with chronic kidney disease. Methods: In this study, 30 male rats Wistar (7-8 weeks) were randomly assigned into three groups of exercise, control and sham. Rats in the exercise and control groups were entered to the study by using nephrectomy 5/6Nx, which made renal failure. Exercise protocol included training protocol as high intensity interval training (85% Maximum oxygen consumption) on treadmill for 8 weeks and three sessions in each week. Atrial fibrillation, fibroblast growth factor 23, Klotho, and other parameters were examined at the post intervention in all three groups. Data analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and to examine the difference between groups, followed post-hoc Bonferroni analysis test at P <0.05. Results: Interval training was able to make a significant difference between the exercise and control groups in the level of atrial fibrillation (P<0/05). Klotho protein also had a considerable increase in the exercise group compared to the control group. However, the fibroblast growth factor 23 did not differ significantly between the exercise and control groups (P>0/05). Conclusion: High intensity interval training can cause a significant decrease in the level of atrial fibrillation in chronic kidney patients; however, in the process of this improvement, the changes in fibroblast growth factor 23 and related factors are less and the role of Klotho protein has an important effect.

Abstract Objectives: The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of 10 weeks of high intensity interval training and flaxseed oil supplement on heart IGF-1 concentration in male rats. Materials and methods: 20 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into saline, saline–training, supplementation, and supplementation–training groups. The training groups performed training (10 weeks, five sessions per week, 90–95% VO2 max) on a rodent treadmill. The supplementation groups also received flaxseed oil supplement (30 mg/kg). The rats were sacrificed five days after the last training session. The heart tissue was collected, and sent to the laboratory for evaluation. Results: Training increased the concentration of the heart IGF-1 (P=0.01). The concentration of heart IGF-1 was higher in the flaxseed oil-supplemented groups than the saline-treated groups. (P=0.003). The interaction between training and supplementation also led to a increase in heart IGF-1 concentration (P=0.001). Conclusion: The increase of heart IGF-1 after training and consumption suggest that training and flaxseed oil can help to improve cardiac function.
