Abstract
Background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of seven weeks endurance training on
RBP4 gene expression in Soleus and Extensor Digitrum Longouse (EDL) Muscles, liver, visceral and
subcutaneous fat in type 2 diabetic rats.
Methods: 50 male wistar rats (5 weeks years old, weight = 93.7 ± 8.9) were purchased and randomly
divided into four groups: Control (n=10) (C), Trained (n=10) (T), Diabetic Control (n=15) (DC) and
Trained diabetic (n=15) (TD). Diabetes was induced by injection of low dose of streptozotocin (STZ)
and feeding with high fat diet. Insulin resistance accuracy was confirmed by HOMA-IR index and
Real-time PCR was used for mRNA content.
Results: After seven weeks of diabetes induction, the RBP4 mRNA content of the liver (2.37-fold P <
0.01), visceral fat (2.33-fold P < 0.01), and subcutaneous fat (1.83-fold P < 0.05), soleus (1.21-fold
P < 0.05) and EDL (2.03-fold P < 0.05) were increased. After seven weeks of endurance training
significant decrease in RBP4 mRNA content was found in visceral fat (P < 0.05), subcutaneous fat (P
< 0.05) and EDL (P < 0.05) between DC and CD. In addition, significant difference between T and TD
groups was found for RBP4 mRNA content in liver (p < 0.01), subcutaneous fat (P < 0.01) and EDL
(P < 0.01) after seven weeks of endurance training.
Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes considerably increases skeletal muscle RBP4 expression in isoform-
specific manner. This increase is also seen in liver, subcutaneous and visceral fat. In addition,
endurance training decreases the RBP4 expression in EDL, subcutaneous and visceral fat.

Abstract
Background: the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of diabetes and seven weeks
of endurance training on RBP4 expression in Soleus, extensor digiturom longuse (EDL), liver, visceral
and subcutaneous fat in type 2 diabetic rats.
Methods: Fifty male wistar rats (93.7 ± 8.9 g) were randomly divided into four groups including:
control (C) [n=10], trained (T) [n=10], diabetic control (DC) [n=15] and diabetic trained (TD) [n=15].
The combination of Intraperitoneally injection of streptozotocin (STZ) and high fat diet feeding were
used for diabetes induction. After seven weeks of endurance training, serum RBP4 and its expression
in above tissues were measured by ELISA and western blotting techniques, respectively.
Results: diabetes induction increased the RBP4 expression of the liver (3.57-fold, p < 0.01), visceral
fat (2.02-fold, p < 0.01), and subcutaneous fat (1.84-fold, p < 0.01) and EDL (2.29-fold, p < 0.01) in
DC in comparison to C group. Serum RBP4 concentration was significantly higher in DC (2.9-fold, p
< 0.01) and TD (1.84-fold, p < 0.01) in comparison to C group. Endurance training significantly
decreased serum RBP4 (p < 0.01) and its expression in visceral fat (p < 0.01) in DT in comparison to
DC.
Conclusion: type 2 diabetes extensively decreases the skeletal muscle RBP4 expression in isoform –
specific manner, liver, subcutaneous and visceral fat. In addition, endurance training decreases serum
RBP4 concentration and its expression in visceral fat.
