The Investigation of the Effects of an Aerobic Continuous Training on HDL-C, LDL-C, TC and TG (Lipids Profile) in Old Female Wistar Rats

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an aerobic continuous training on HDL-C, LDL-C, TC and TG (lipids profile) in old female wistar rats. Thirty two (21.5 months old) female wistar 14848 rats were randomly assigned to two groups (control and experimental groups) and performed 18 sessions (3 days/week) of a treatment running. The rats were treated and used in accordance with protocols approved by Pastor Institute of Iran. Normal distribution of dependent variables was documented by Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test. In case of a significant interaction, T testwas applied to investigate the effect of the two different tests more closely. Post hoc analyses were carried out by Scheffe and LSD tests. The level of statistical significance was P<0.05. The results showed a significant difference in HDL-C, LDLC, TC and TG between pretest and posttest in the experimental group. There was also a significant difference in HDL-C, LDL-C, TG between the experimental and control groups. After 18 weeks, there was no significant difference in TC between the two groups in the posttest. Meanwhile, their weight insignificantly decreased after 18 weeks of aerobic continuous training in the experimental group.
