Abstract
Background: Physical activity plays a major role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but the effect of intense activity on endoplasmic reticulum proteins and apoptosis and necroptosis in diabetic conditions is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes of PERK and CHOP proteins in endoplasmic reticulum of cardiac myocytes of diabetic Wistar rats following continuous and interval exercise.
Methods: For this purpose, 32 male white wistar were purchased and were randomly divided into 4 groups of hemogenus 8 rats in each group: Healthy control (C), Diabetic control (D), Diabetic with moderate-intensity continuous training intensity at the 55min on 26 m/min speed (D+MICT) and Diabetic with high-intensity interval training intensity at the 85-90% of maximum speed (D+HIIT); 5 days/week for 8 weeks. For evaluate changes in the expression of the proteins associated with apoptosis and necroptotic death in the diabetic heart muscle myocardium, based on Western blot analysis will be used. Also, the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine differences between the study groups.
Results: The results showed that induction of type 2 diabetes increased apoptotic and necroptosis cell death (P≥0.05). Therefore, both continuous and intermittent aerobic exercise modulate apoptotic cell death. And both intermittent and continuous exercise had a significant effect on cell necroptosis death.
Conclusion: It seems that different levels of aerobic exercise have different effects on cardiac myocytes cell death in diabetic rats. But more research is needed to confirm the death of diabetic necroptics.

Abstract
Background: The health and proper functioning of the endoplasmic reticulum in the liver can lead to an increase in the quality of the metabolism of liver cells. Exercise can lead to liver health by regulating liver enzymes and factors related to apoptosis pathway. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to compare the performance of the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein of the liver of healthy model rats with the intervention of different training sessions and starvation.
Methods: In this experimental research, 30 Wistar male rats with a weight range of 330 ± 25 grams were selected and divided into six groups: 1) control, 2) starvation, 3) 3 days of training per week, 4) 5 days of training per week, 5) starvation + 3 training days per week, 6) starvation + 5 training days per week. Training consisted of one hour of continuous running on a treadmill for 4 weeks, and starvation was performed for 14 hours when the rats were awake. Data analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance and post hoc LSD statistical tests in SPSS version 23 software. A significance level of P≤ 0.05 was considered.
Results: Data analysis showed a significant change in the levels of liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) (P≤ 0.05). This change in CHOP gene expression was also significant (P≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: Aerobic training for 3 and 5 days with starvation can lead to liver health by reducing liver enzymes (AST and ALT) and cell death-related factor (CHOP) through the apoptosis pathway.
