Background: the purpose of this research is Comparison of the effect of aerobic exercise and gymnema sylvestre supplement on some markers related to cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetic mice.
Methods: The statistical population consisted of 40 male C57BL/6 mice that became diabetic after 20 weeks of feeding with a high-fat diet. Then they were randomly divided into 5 groups of eight, diabetes and aerobic exercise, diabetes and gymnema sylvester supplement, diabetes and aerobic exercise with gymnema sylvester supplement, diabetes control and healthy control. The aerobic exercise program consisted of exercises at a speed of 10 m/min for six weeks and five training sessions per week on a treadmill. Daily consumption of gymnema sylvester at the rate of 0.1 g/kg orally alone and also with training intervention was done for six weeks.
Results: The findings showed that aerobic exercise and gymnema sylvestre supplement caused a significant decrease in the levels of glucose, insulin, insulin resistance and the expression of CASPASE-1 and NLRP3 genes in the heart tissue, the largest decrease in the dependent variables related to the aerobic exercise group with Gymnema Sylvester supplement.
Conclusion: Aerobic exercise and Gymnema sylvester supplement improves blood variables by reducing glucose, insulin and insulin resistance, as well as improving markers related to cardiomyopathy by reducing the expression of caspase-1 and NLRP3 genes in the heart tissue in type 2 diabetic mice.
