The Effect of High Intensity Interval Training on the Muscle CTRP15 Gene Expression and Adipocyte Fatty Acid Transporters in Adult Male Wistar Rats

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks of high intensity interval training on muscle CTRP15 gene expression and adipocyte fatty acid transporters in the male adult rats. Fourteen Wistar rats (age: eight weeks) were divided into two groups: (1) interval training and (2) control groups. Animals in exercise groups received 4-wk interval training (five sessions per week. From 35 to 55 meters per minute from first week to forth week) that included running on a treadmill and at the same time, the control group did not have any training. The soleus muscle and adipose tissue homogenates and the expression of CTRP15 and FATCD36, FATP1, FABP4 genes were measured by Real-time PCR analysis. Data were analyzed by independent t-test. Statistical differences were considered significant at P
