Abstract: (1311 Views)
Background & Aims: AKT, PI3K and IL-1 are related to diabetes and cardiac inflammatory. The aim of this study was to investigating cardiac inflammatory markers via AKT, cardiac PI3K gene expression and serum IL-1β with combined exercise and consumption of taurine supplementation in diabetic male Wistar rats.
Material & Methods: in this experimental study, 30 male adult Wistar rats weighing 250-300 grams and 6 weeks old were randomly divided into 3 groups including: diabetic exercise+supplement group (T+S) (10 rats), diabetic control group (CD) (10 rats), and healthy control group (CH) (10 rats). To make rats diabetic, 55 mg/kg body weight of streptozocin was injected. Blood sugar above 250 mg/dL was considered as diabetes. Combined exercises and taurine supplementation were performed for eight weeks and 5 times a week. Taurine supplement was taken as a 1% solution in water daily. To compare the inter-group and intra-group changes of the variables, two-way ANOVA and Tukey's follow-up were used. The significance level was 0.05.
Results: PI3K gene expression was significantly increased in the diabetic exercise+supplement group compared to the diabetic control group (P=0.001). The serum level of IL-1β factor in the diabetic exercise-supplement group had a significant decrease in comparison with the diabetic control group (P=0.001). However, there was no significant change in AKT gene expression in the diabetic exercise+supplement group compared to the diabetic control group.
Conclusion: It seems that combined exercises with consumption of taurine supplementation may lead to the improvement of heart inflammatory factors in diabetic people while increasing PI3K, decreasing IL-1β and creating favorable changes in glucose metabolism. Therefore, it is suggested to use combined exercises and consumption of taurine as a non-invasive and low-cost method in improving cardiac inflammatory markers in diabetic persons.
