The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiovascular autonomic effects between dynamic aerobic, resistance and combined exercise training in ovariectomized diabetic female rats. Female Wistar rats (200-220g) were divided into 4 ovariectomized (bilateral ovaries removal) diabetic (streptozotocin, 50mg/kg, iv) groups: sedentary (DOS) and trained by an aerobic protocol on a treadmill (DOTA), by a resistance protocol in ladder (DOTR), or by a combined protocol in ladder+treadmill on alternate days (DOTC). After 8 weeks of training, the animals were cannulated to arterial pressure (AP) recording and baroreflex sensitivity (BS) evaluation. Heart rate (HR) and systolic AP variabilities were analyzed in the time and frequency domains. Exercise training induced an increase of 77% in the run capacity in the DOTA group (DOS: 8.6±0.6; DOTA: 15.3±0.4; DOTR: 11.5±1.6; DOTC: 15.0±0.2 min), 60% in the maximum load in DOTR group (DOS: 179.7±11.0; DOTA: 167.3±1.5; DOTR: 288.4±7.5; DOTC: 284.6±10.2 % of body weight), and increases in both exercise tests in DOTC (75% and 58%, respectively). All trained animals showed normalization of diabetic induced-resting hypotension and bradycardia, associated with increased HR variance (DOS: 39.6±2.6; DOTA: 71.2±7.2; DOTR: 70.9±12.1; DOTC: 65.7±6.1 ms2) and normalization of the LF band of pulse interval (DOS: 2.7±0.3; DOTA: 5.3±0.4; DOTR: 7.2±1.5; DOTC: 6.8±0.8 ms2) (vs. DOS). The DOTA and DOTC groups (but not DOTR) had higher BS (tachycardic and bradycardic responses), and attenuation in SAP variability (DOS: 7.4±0.8; DOTA: 12.7±1.1; DOTR: 8.9±1.0; DOTC: 13.3±1.0 mmHg2) in relation to DOS. Mortality was higher in DOS group when compared to trained group. In conclusion, the results showed that dynamic aerobic, resistance or combined exercise training induced benefits in physical capacity, hemodynamic and autonomic parameters after ovarian hormone deprivation in diabetic rats. However, the combined exercise training promoted additional effects than aerobic or resistance training in this condition.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic, resistance, or combined exercise training on cardiovascular autonomic control and mortality in diabetic ovariectomized rats. Female Wistar rats were divided into one of five groups: euglycemic sedentary (ES), diabetic ovariectomized sedentary (DOS), diabetic ovariectomized aerobic-trained (DOTA), diabetic ovariectomized resistance-trained (DOTR), or diabetic ovariectomized aerobic+resistance-trained (DOTC). Arterial pressure (AP) was directly recorded and baroreflex sensitivity was evaluated by heart rate responses to AP changes. Cardiovascular autonomic modulation was evaluated by spectral analyses. No differences were observed in body weight and glycemia between diabetic rats. Animals in the DOTC and DOTA groups exhibited an increase in running time, whereas animals in the DOTC and DOTR groups showed greater strength. Trained groups exhibited improvement in total power and the high-frequency band of pulse interval and reduced mortality (vs. DOS). Animals in the DOTC (bradycardic and tachycardic responses) and DOTA (tachycardic responses) groups exhibited attenuation in baroreflex dysfunction that was observed in DOS and DOTR animals, and an improvement in AP variance. In conclusion, all training protocols led to reduced mortality, which may be due to an increase in physical capacity and to cardiovascular and autonomic benefits following training, regardless of any improvement in glycemic control. In this model, the aerobic and combined trainings seem to promote additional cardiovascular autonomic benefits when compared with resistance training alone.

In this study we tested the hypothesis that the cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction plays an important role on the management of inflammation and oxidative stress, and that these dysfunctions may in turn be modulated by combined exercise training in an experimental model of hypertension and menopause. Female rats were divided into (n=7/group): control (C) and hypertensive (H), hypertensive ovariectomized (HO) and hypertensive ovariectomized undergoing combined (aerobic+resistance) training (THO). We observed an additional increase in HO group (176±4 mmHg) in relation to H group (165±3 mmHg). However, the THO group (155±3 mmHg) showed a reduction of arterial pressure associated with resting bradycardia. The HO group (50.78±4.61 mmHg2) presented an additional impairment in systolic arterial pressure variability when compared to C and H groups (23.69±0.45 and 34.09±2.37 mmHg2); this dysfunction was not observed in THO group (30.09±2.03 mmHg2). Additionally, an attenuation on vascular sympathetic modulation and an improvement in baroreflex sensitivity were found in the THO when compared to HO group. There was an increase in TNF-α in sedentary hypertensive groups (H and HO vs. C), which was not observed in THO group. Ovariectomy induced an additional increase in cardiac and renal oxidative stress, which were reduced in THO group. The THO group presented an increase in total antioxidant capacity when compared to the other groups. In conclusion, combined exercise training was able to reduce AP associated with improvement on cardiovascular autonomic control, probably reducing cardiac and renal inflammation and oxidative stress, in an experimental model of hypertension and menopause.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common chronic complications of diabetics which causes nerve damage and muscle strength decrease in patients. This in turn results in imbalance leading to the diabetic patients’ daily activity disparity. The present investigation was conducted to specifically study the effects of combined training (resistance-aerobic) on serum kinesin-1 and physical function in type 2 diabetes patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. 24 diabetic neuropathic females were randomly to be selected out and divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received resistance-aerobic training for 3 sessions during eight weeks. The exercise training included resistance exercises with 2-3 sets, 6-7 exercise stations, 8-12 repetitions (reps), and 3-5 minutes of rest in between the exercises, and the aerobic exercises contained 50-65% of heart rate reserve (HRR) for 3 minutes with 30 seconds of rest interval between sets and 5-10 repetitions. Results show that the serum kinesin-1 level and aerobic endurance declined after eight weeks of combined (resistance-aerobic) exercise training, but this decrease was not significant. The upper body strength increased but it was not significant, while the lower body showed a significant strength increase. With regard to the progressive nature of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, it seems that even the little changes resulting from the combined exercise training can be useful. Nevertheless, more research is required in this area.

Although regular combined aerobic-resistance exercises can ameliorate the inflammatory status and redox balance in elderly population, it is unclear whether protein or specific amino acid supplementation could improve such benefits. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the inflammatory status and redox indexes through of the saliva of 34 elderly subject nonpractitioners (NP group, 73.3±6.6 years) and 49 elderly subject practitioners of a combined-exercise training in moderate intensity (CET group, 71.9±5.8 years) before (pre) and after (post) 30 days of supplementation with L-glutamine (Gln) or placebo (PL). Our results showed that, both in pre- and postsupplementation, the salivary levels of nitric oxide (NO⋅) and TNF-α were lower, whereas the levels of uric acid and IL-10 (as well as IL-10/TNF-α ratio) were higher in the CET groups than in the NP groups. In postsupplementation, both groups supplemented with Gln (NP-Gln and CET-Gln) showed higher salivary uric acid levels compared to baseline. In addition, lower NO⋅ levels were found in the CET-Gln group postsupplementation than presupplementation values. Whereas the CET-Gln group showed lower GSH levels postsupplementation, NP-Gln subjects showed lower GSSG levels at the same time point, both compared to baseline. Interestingly, salivary peroxidase activity was lower only in NP groups (NP-PL and NP-Gln) postsupplementation than baseline values. A positive significant correlation between salivary peroxidase activity and GSH levels, and also between salivary peroxidase activity and uric acid levels were observed in the CET-Gln group both pre- and postsupplementation. No differences were found in albumin, total antioxidant activity (TEAC), and reducing power analysis between groups, pre- or postsupplementation. In conclusion, the elderly subjects from the CET group showed a better inflammatory response and redox balance and, for the first time, it was shown that daily supplementation with Gln for 30 days can improve these benefits with putative association with a healthy aging.
