Decreased Uncoupling Protein 2 and 3 (UCP2 and UCP3) mRNA expression by endurance exercise training with and without chronic administration of nandrolone in rat heart

نویسندگان

چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: The effect of regular exercise in decreasing the incidence of heart diseases is well known. The abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) has been associated with cardiovascular disorders. Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) transport protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane thereby proton gradient can be diminished by the action of UCPs. This process will result in the uncoupling of mitochondrial respiration from ATP production. The goal of this study was to investigate whether UCP2 and UCP3 are involved in the mechanisms of AAS-induced cardiac damage in the rat heart. Methods: In the current study, adult male Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n=8): Control, vehicle, nandrolone, exercise, exercise- nandrolone. Rats in the exercise groups were submitted to a progressive running program on a treadmill, 5 days a week for 10 weeks. Rats in the nandrolone and exercise- nandrolone groups received a weekly intramuscular injection of nandrolone decanoate (10 mg/kg), while those in the vehicle group received Arachiz oil as vehicle. Relative mRNA expression of UCP2 and UCP3 were determined with real-time RT- PCR. Results: The data showed that chronic administration of nandrolone significantly up-regulated UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA in rat heart and endurance training induced a decrease in the expression of UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA with or without presence of nandrolone. Conclusion: It may be concluded that chronic nandrolone treatment causes an increase in the expression of UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA. Thus, it might decrease energy metabolism efficiency by impairment of ATP production. Physical activity may decrease the adverse effects of nandrolone by down-regulation of the UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA expression.

The uncoupling protein homologues: UCP1, UCP2, UCP3, StUCP and AtUCP.

Animal and plant uncoupling protein (UCP) homologues form a subfamily of mitochondrial carriers that are evolutionarily related and possibly derived from a proton/anion transporter ancestor. The brown adipose tissue (BAT) UCP1 has a marked and strongly regulated uncoupling activity, essential to the maintenance of body temperature in small mammals. UCP homologues identified in plants are induce...

Effect of endurance training on mRNA expression of uncoupling proteins 1, 2, and 3 in the rat.

Endurance exercise training has been shown to decrease diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) in rats and humans. In rodents, most thermogenesis is thought to occur in brown adipose tissue via activation of the uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) and in skeletal muscle. Since the level of UCP1 mRNA in rat BAT was reported to be unmodified by exercise training, the newly described uncoupling proteins UCP2 and...

Increase of uncoupling protein-2 expression in the ischemic rat heart

Introduction: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been suggested to play an important role in the myocardial damage induced by ischemia – reperfusion. One element believed to be activated by ROS and to contribute to the reduction of ROS production, is the uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2). The objective of this investigation was to explore the effect of myocardial ischemia reperfusion on cardiac UC...

Background: Regarding the negative effects of androgenic anabolic steroids (AASs) abuse, the long-term effect of nandrolone decanoate with/without two intensities of endurance exercise training was investigated on heart tissue and electrocardiogram (ECG) in rats. Methods: The experiment was conducted on 63 male Wistar rats, which were 4 months old. The rats were divide into groups of control (C...
