Abstract:

Objective: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and continues aerobic training (CT) have cardio-protective effects in diabetic rats. The functional role of microRNA in heart was studied. Only miR-29a levels were found to correlate with cardiac fibrosis, This study tests the hypothesis that applying HIIT and CT cases miR-29a increasing is associated with a reduction of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)  induced cardiac fibrosis. Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 18 male diabetic rats were included. They were divided into 3 groups called as HIIT, CT and control. Exercise protocol was performed 5 days/week for 5 weeks. The miR-29a and CTGF synthesis were compared between the groups by real time- PCR. Results: Our results demonstrated that elevation of miR-29a using HIIT (2.67 , P=0.010,) or CT (1.79 , P=0.002) are effective in inhibiting CTGF (HIIT:0.17 P=0.000-CT:0.39 -induced cardiac fibrosis, suggesting that these types training would be selected as a new adjunctive therapy in the heart fibrosis- derived diabetic. Discussion: The HIIT and CT showed increased levels of miR-29a compared CT group which is shown to decrease CTGF level resulting into lowered fibrosis of heart tissue in diabetic patients.

Effect of high intensity interval and continuous endurance training on TRF2 and TERT gene expression in heart tissue of aging male rats

Background and Objective: Age is the greatest risk factor for cardiovascular disease that is associated with shortens telomere. TRF2 and TERT genes expression in heart tissue   reduce in elderly. These geness are associated with shortens telomere. Exercise can play a useful role in maintaining the length of telomeres. This study was carry out to determine the effect of high intensity interval t...
