Abstract:

Objective(s): This study aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic training on serum levels of Klotho, cardiac tissue levels of H2O2 and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and P38 as well as left ventricular internal diameter (LVID), the left ventricle wall thickness (LVWT) and fibrosis in middle-aged rats. Materials and Methods: Forty wistar rats, including young rats (n=10, 4 month-old) and middle-aged rats (n=30, 13-15 months-old) were enrolled in this experimental study. The all young and 10 middle-aged rats were sacrificed (randomly) under deep anesthesia without any exercise training as normal young control and normal middle-aged control respectively. The remaining 20 middle-aged rats participated in 4 (n=10) or 8-week (n=10) aerobic exercise training. Results: There were significant differences in the plasmatic Klotho levels and the heart tissue levels of phosphorylated-ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2), P-P38 and H2O2, LVWT, LVID and fibrosis between young and middle-aged rats (P=0.01). Plasmatic Klotho level was significantly increased after eight weeks training (P=0.011). Also, p-ERK1/2 was significantly decreased after eight weeks and p-P38 was significantly decreased in the fourth (P=0.01) and eight weeks of training (P=0.01). A similar decrease was reported for aging-induced H2O2 in the fourth (P=0.016) and eighth weeks (P=0.001). LVID was significantly increased in eight weeks, but LVWT and fibrosis was significantly reduced in the eighth week (P=0.011, P=0.028, P=0.001 respectively).Conclusion: Moderate aerobic training attenuates aging-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy at least partially by restoring the Klotho levels, attenuating oxidative stress, and reduction in the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, P38 and fibrosis.

Prior exercise training attenuated Doxorubicin-induced hepatic oxidative stress in Wistar rats: Age-related differences

Introduction: Previous studies have confirmed the sidelong effects of Doxorubicin (DOX) on healthy tissues, but pretreatment effect of regular Aerobic exercise in restrain of hepatotoxicity induced by doxorubicin is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the pretreatment effect of regular aerobic exercise on hepatic oxidative stress induced with doxorubicin of Wistar rats in differ...

Kaempferol Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy via Regulation of ASK1/MAPK Signaling Pathway and Oxidative Stress.

Kaempferol has been demonstrated to provide benefits for the treatment of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its role in cardiac hypertrophy remains to be elucidated. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of kaempferol on cardiac hypertrophy and the underlying mechanism. Mice subj...

The effect of aerobic exercise on MMP-2 / miR-21 signaling pathway of cardiac fibrosis in elderly rats

Background :The concept of survival has changed since the twentieth century to guarantee quality of life in the twenty-first century (1). Aging is associated with a certain degree of interstitial fibrosis, which progresses to heart failure. Therefore, finding new and practical methods is an important and necessary help to reduce heart tissue fibrosis in the elderly (2). Providing mechanisms by ...

PCB118-Induced Cell Proliferation Mediated by Oxidative Stress and MAPK Signaling Pathway in HELF Cells

The present study used human lung fibroblast (HELF) cells as a test model to evaluate the role of oxidative stress (OS) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) protein in HELF cell proliferation exposed to PCB118. Results from 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide demonstrated that PCB118 at lower concentrations stimulated proliferation of HELF cell and a...

The effect of resistance training on PI3K/mTORc1 signaling in left ventricular of diabetes rats

Background: Clinical evidence points to the effective role of genetic factors and intracellular signaling pathways in physiological cardiac hypertrophy. This study aimed to assess the response of PI3K/mTORc1 signaling pathway in cardiac tissue to resistance training in obese diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 21 male wistar rats (220±20 g) were obese by 6 weeks high fat di...
