Abstract:

Introduction: Cachexia is a cancer complication that is associated with increased weight loss. Apoptosis has been known as one of the tissue-wasting pathways that cause weight loss and multiple organ failure in cancer-related cachexia. Various factors, including exercise training, can be effective in the reduction of cancer cachexia. In the present study, the effect of four weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on some biochemical indices of apoptosis in the liver tissue of breast tumor-bearing mice was investigated. Methods: In the present experimental study, female BALB/c mice were randomly divided two cancerous groups (control and HIIT) following the induction of breast cancer by the injection of the 4T1 cell line and sham group (phosphate buffer saline injection). Each HIIT session included 6 intervals of 3 minutes and 20 seconds (80%-95% of VO2max) with 1-min active recovery (30%-35% of VO2max), performed for 4 weeks, 5 days per week. Results: The level of caspase-3 showed a reduction in the HIIT group compared with the control group (P < 0.01). The results also demonstrated an increase in the level of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2 to Bax ratio in the HIIT group compared with the control group (P = 0.01). Conclusion: Based on the results, it seems that HIIT can reduce liver tissue wasting associated with breast cancer by decreasing caspase-3 and increasing Bcl-2 to Bax ratio.

High-Intensity Interval Training Beneficial Effects in Diet- Induced Obesity in Mice: Adipose Tissue, Liver Structure, and Pancreatic Islets

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on adipose tissue, pancreatic islets and liver in mice fed high-fat diet. C57BL/6 male mice were fed one of two diets: standard chow (Lean group LE) or a high-fat diet (Obese group – OB). After the first 12-weeks, the animals were divided into non-trained (LE-NT and OB-NT), trained groups (LET and OB-T), and start...

High intensity interval training improves liver and adipose tissue insulin sensitivity

OBJECTIVE Endurance exercise training reduces insulin resistance, adipose tissue inflammation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), an effect often associated with modest weight loss. Recent studies have indicated that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) lowers blood glucose in individuals with type 2 diabetes independently of weight loss; however, the organs affected and mechanism...

NLRP-3 Expression in Pancreatic Tissue Following Moderate and High Intensity Interval Training with Liposomal Alpha-Lipoic Acid Supplement in Diabetic Rats

Introduction: Activation of NLRP-3 Inflammasome is considered an indicator of chronic inflammation in type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise training along with antioxidants supplements can control inflammation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of training with different intensity and alpha lipoic acid supplement on pancreatic NLRP-3 expression in diabetic rats. Methods: ...
