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.

Abstract
Background: Diabetic neuropathy leads to skeletal muscle atrophy however atrophy signaling mechanisms are not well documented. The aim of the present study was to investigate Sunday Driver (Syd) gene expression in soleus muscle of Wistar male rats with diabetic neuropathy. Methods: Twelve male Wistar rats were randomly assigned in 3 groups: diabetic trained, diabetic untrained and healthy control. Two weeks after STZ injection (45 mg/Kg), diabetic neuropathy was demonstrated with mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia tests and after which moderate endurance training protocol was performed for 6 weeks. 48 hours after final training session, the rats were dissected and soleus muscle tissues were removed. Also Sydgene expression was measured with Real time- PCR methods. Results: Soleus muscle weight was decreased in diabetic groups (P=0.001), but compared with diabetic untrained group, was higher in diabetic trained group (P=0.001). Sydgene expression in diabetic untrained group was higher than healthy control group (P=0.001). Also, compared with diabetic untrained group, training significantly decreased Sydgene expression and blood glucose levels in diabetic trained group. (P=0.001 and P=0.0001, respectively). Conclusion: In soleus muscle of diabetic rats, Sydm RNAup-regulation is involved in development of muscle atrophy and training as a non-pharmacotherapy strategy can modulate and get it close to normal levels. So, it is suggested that Syd should be noted as a novel treatment in diabetes disease.

Abstract
Background: Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta is a key regulator of many signaling pathways. It is reported that Inhibition of this kinase results neuronal survival. Accordingly in this study we investigated the effect of endurance training on the gene expression of GSK-3β in the sensory areas of the spinal cord of male Wistar rats with diabetic neuropathy.
Methods: we randomly assigned 16 male Wistar rats into four groups: healthy control, healthy trained, neuropathy control, neuropathy trained. Intraperitoneal injection of a STZ (streptozotocin) solution (45 mg/kg) was used to induce diabetes. At two weeks after STZ injections, the mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia tests demonstrated the presence of diabetic neuropathy. A moderate endurance training protocol was performed for a six- week period. At 24 hours after the final training session, the rats were sacrificed and the L4-L6 sensory neurons of the spinal cord tissue were removed. GSK-3β mRNA expression was performed using real time-PCR.
Results: Statistical analysis shows that neuropathy trained experiences a decrease in gene expression in comparison to neuropathy control (P=0.02). On the other there was significant difference between healthy control and neuropathy control (P=0.02). However, there was no significant difference between healthy control and neuropathy trained.
Conclusion: we claim that endurance training will effectively decrease the expression of GSK-3β in the sensory areas of spinal cord of male Wistar rats with diabetic neuropathy. Endurance training as a non- pharmacotherapy strategy can modulate and return GSK-3β to approximate normal levels.

Abstract
Background: Increased expression of HDAC5 reduces the expression of GLUT4 in slow-twitch fibers, and this mechanism has not been studied in diabetes. Therefore, the purpose of study was to investigate the effect of six weeks endurance training on protein levels of GLUT4 and HDAC5 in soleus muscle in diabetic rats.
Methods: For this purpose, 32 male Wistar rats (weight: 245±9.4 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups: diabetic, diabetic and training, training, and control. At 8 weeks of age, diabetes was induced by streptozotocin. The endurance training was carried out five times per week for 6 weeks. 24 hours after the completion of the protocol, the mice were sacrificed and their soleus muscle was extracted. Then, the protein levels of GLUT4 and HDAC5 were measured using ELISA method. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data at a significant level of P<0.05.
Results: Results showed significant differences between control and training (P=0.008), training and diabetic training (P=0.004), and training and diabetic (P=0.0005) groups in GLUT4 levels. But, in HDAC5, results showed that there is not significant differences only between control and training groups (P=0.99), and there are significant differences among other groups (P<0.05). Also, there is a significant inverse relationship between the protein levels of GLUT4 and HDAC5 (P=0.012, r =-0.439).
Conclusion: It seems that six weeks moderate intensity endurance training increases protein levels of GLUT4. But endurance training only can decreases protein levels of HDAC5 in diabetes.

Abstract
Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing in the world. As a result of this disease, long-term insulin resistance develops, as a result of which pancreatic beta cells are destroyed and disappear, as a result insulin is not released. Recently, a protein called lipasin, which is responsible for signaling the liver to beta cells, has been discovered, and previous reports have shown that lipasin/betatrophin increases pancreatic β cell proliferation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and endurance training on lipasin gene expression in rats with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The study was performed on 25 Wistar rats with a mean weight of 160±10 g and age of 8 weeks. After induction of diabetes, the rats were randomly divided into three groups of 6: control and endurance and HIIT. And exercise was performed for eight weeks (5 sessions per week). QRT-PCR technique was used to evaluate changes in hepatic lipasin gene expression.
Results: The present study showed that after eight weeks of endurance training and HIIT, the expression of lipasin gene in the liver of rats in the training group increased significantly compared to the control group (P = 0.037); Also, a significant negative correlation was observed between lipasin gene expression and insulin resistance index in the exercise group compared to the control group (r = -0.605, P = 0.037).
Conclusion: It seems that performing eight weeks of endurance training and HIIT, by increasing the expression of lipasin gene can increase beta cells in diabetic patients and may be an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce the symptoms of this disease.

Abstract
Background: The pathway of insulin messengers is so important that diabetes can lead to disruption of this pathway. However, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of endurance training on
protein Kinase-B (PKB or AKT) and mechanical target of rapamycin (mTOR) in the left ventricle of the heart of diabetic rats induced by
streptozotocin and nicotinamide.
Methods: In this experimental study, 12 head two-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats with a mean weight of 270±20 g were selected. After diabetic induction with streptozotocin and Nicotinamide, rats were randomly assigned to two groups, training and control (6 heads in group each). The rat training program was performed on a treadmill for 8 weeks and 4 sessions per week, including 30 minutes of endurance training with an intensity of about 50 to 70% of the maximum speed. SPSS software and independent t-test were used to analyze the data.
Results: Eight weeks of endurance training resulted in a significant increase in protein Kinase-B content (P=0.03); But no significant change in Protein Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin content was observed in the endurance training group compared to the control (P=0.97).
Conclusion: protein Kinase-B is a key protein for regulating many cellular pathways, which was significantly increased by eight weeks of
endurance training. Due to the fact that the content of protein mechanistic target of rapamycin does not change, it is possible that endurance training cannot lead to physiological hypertrophy heart through the mTORC1 pathway.

Abstract
Background: The myostatin/SMAD pathway is one of the most important regulatory pathways in heart muscle cells atrophy. Diabetes can disorder this pathway. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of six weeks of endurance training on the content myostatin and SMAD2/3 proteins in the left ventricular tissue of the heart muscle of type 1 diabetic rats.
Methods: In this study, 12 head 2-month-old male Sprague-Dawley male rats with a mean weight of 300±20 g were selected. After induction of diabetes through streptozotocin solution, they were randomly divided into 2 groups: diabetic endurance training (6 heads) and diabetic control (6 heads); The training groups performed the training program 4 days a week for 6 weeks, including 32 minutes of endurance
training with an intensity of about 50 to 70% of the maximum speed; SPSS software version 23 and independent t-test were used to analyze the data. Significance level was considered p≤0.05.
Findings: Endurance training resulted in a significant decrease in myostatin (P=0.024) and SMAD2/3 (P=0.001) proteins content between training and control groups in myocardial tissue.
Conclusion: It can be said that endurance training by reducing the content of myostatin and SMAD2/3 proteins in the left ventricle of the heart may have been able to prevent cardiac atrophy in type 1 diabetic subjects. This reduction can lead to physiological cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Background: AMPK and P53 proteins regulate the TOR protein in the TORC1 complex, which regulates many physiological processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of AMPK and P53 proteins on the TOR pathway following endurance training in the left ventricle of the heart of diabetic rats by streptozotocin and nicotinamide.
Methods: In this experimental study, 12 head two-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats with a mean weight of 270±20 g were selected. After diabetic induction with streptozotocin and Nicotinamide, rats were randomly assigned to two groups,
training and control (6 heads in group each). The training group performed endurance training on a treadmill for rodents for 6 weeks and 4 sessions per week for 42 minutes with an intensity of about 50 to 70% of the maximum speed. SPSS software version 23 and independent t-test were used to analyze the data.
Results: Six weeks of endurance training led to significant increase in the protein content of AMPK (P=0.009) and TOR (P=0.005) between training and control groups in the left ventricular tissue of the heart muscle
. In contrast, a significant decrease in P53 protein content was observed between the training and control groups in the left ventricular tissue of the heart muscle (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: The results showed that
endurance training can with increase the content of AMPK and TOR proteins and decrease the content of P53 protein to regulate processes such as metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, cardiac hypertrophy, inhibition of autophagy in the hearts of diabetic subjects.
