ABSTRACT

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise on AGE-RAGE axis and nuclear factor kappa B pathway in type 2 diabete rats and to discuss the rehabilitation function of aerobic exercise in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) . Methods After the 8-week-old male Wistar rats were fed with a high sugar and high fat for 4 weeks, type 2 diabetes rats were induced by streptozotocin way. 30 type 2 diabetes rats were allocated at random into 3 groupstype 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), low- and moderate- intensity exercise groups (T2DML, T2DMM) . Exercise group performed exercise protocol respectively. The AGEs, RAGE and NF-κB levels of the blood,muscle and heart were detected by ELISA method respectively. Results Compared with T2DM group, the NF-κB level of the blood, muscle and heart were decreased in T2DML group significantly (P<0.05);the AGEs, RAGE and NF-κB level of the blood, muscle and heart were decreased in T2DMM group significantly ( <0.05) . Compared with T2DML group, the NF-κB level of the blood, muscle and heart were decreased in T2DMM group significantly ( <0.05) . Conclusion Moderate intensity aerobic exercise inhibits AGE-RAGE axis and NF-κB pathway, which may decrease oxidative stress and inflammation, and so reduce tissue injure for the prevention and treatment of complications of the T2DM.
