Background: Diabetic disorders can lead to muscle atrophy. The aim of this study was to investigate the combination of resistance training and endothelial progenitor cell injection on the expression of horseshoe muscle atrophy factor in diabetic rats.
Methods: 30 rats (6 weeks old weighing 200 20 200 g) were randomly divided into five groups: healthy baseline, control diabetic, trained diabetic, non-trained diabetic by endothelial progenitor cell injection, diabetic trained by simultaneous injection Endothelial progenitor cells were divided. Heat 25 was measured by Western blotting to evaluate changes in protein expression. Data were analyzed by two-factor analysis of variance test by SPSS software version 19 at a significance level of α≥ 5%.
Results: In this study, 6 weeks of resistance training had no significant effect on the expression of heat shock protein 25. But injection of endothelial progenitor cells resulted in a significant increase in the expression of heat shock protein 25. The interactive effect of resistance training and progenitor cell injection on heat shock protein 25 was not significant, in other words, there was no significant superiority over training and injection at the same time as training or injection alone.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be stated that injection of endothelial progenitor cells can improve muscle wasting but resistance training alone was not effective. Also, the combination of these two strategies was not superior in reducing the complications of atrophy in diabetic rats.
