Aims: To analyze the effects of exercise performed at the aerobic/anaerobic transition (Lan) on Non-Alcoholic Hepatic Steatosis (NAHS) markers in type 1 diabetic rats.
Methods: Adult Wistar rats were separated into four groups: Sedentary Control (SC), Trained Control (TC), Sedentary Diabetic (SD) and Trained Diabetic (TD). The trained groups swam supporting workloads equivalent to the Lan for one hour/day, five days/week, for eight weeks. Body weight, serum albumin concentrations, glucose concentrations, Free Fatty Acid (FFA) concentrations, NAHS markers (Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and total lipid concentrations in the liver were analyzed.
Results: The diabetic groups showed higher serum glucose concentrations and more weight loss compared to the controls, although the TD gr.. View More»
