چکیده
OBJECTIVE Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is considered as a negative regulator of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and influences various cardiovascular functions. The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of high-fat diet on vascular Cav-1 expression and eNOS activities. METHODS Male outbred Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-fat diet for 15 weeks to induce obesity. The diet-induced obese (DIO) rats were then divided into two groups. One group (DIO-LF) was fed a normal diet and another group (DIO-HF) along with diet-resistance (DR) rats were fed a high-fat diet for 8 more weeks. Cav-1 expression was determined using reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry techniques. NOS activities were assessed using Griess reagents. Protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) and eNOS expression and phosphorylation were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS A high-fat diet up-regulated Cav-1 and down-regulated eNOS expression in aorta of DIO rats, but not in that of DR rats. These effects were reversed in DIO rats after switching to a low-fat diet for 8 weeks. Decreased NOS activities in aortas were observed in DIO rats, but not in DR rats. Phosphorylation of PKB/Akt and eNOS (Ser1177) were enhanced in aortas of DIO rats of both DIO-HF and DIO-LF groups. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that the decrease of vascular NOS activities in rats fed a high-fat diet were due, at least in part, to the up-regulation of Cav-1 expression.

Introduction: Obesity causes accumulation of proinflammatory factors in adipose tissue and it is regarded as a risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Aerobic exercise increases insulin sensitivityand reduces fat accumulation and proinflammatory factors. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of endurance exercise on resistin gene expression as one of the proinfammatory...

Objective(s): Leptin is a hormone secreted by adipose tissue and is involved not only in the regulation of feeding and energy expenditure, but also its role in memory enhancement has been demonstrated as well. The partial transfer of leptin across the blood-brain barrier in obese individuals causes leptin resistance and prevents leptin reaching brain. On the other hand, studies have show...

Background: Inflammation plays a critical role in the promotion of hepatocyte damage and liver fibrosis. In recent years the protective role of exercise and royal jelly (RJ), has been suggested for metabolic and inflammatory disorders. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of aerobic training (AT) and RJ on pro-inflammatory markers in a rat's model of a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: ...
