Effect of Eighteen Weeks Endurance Training and High-Fat Diet on Amylin Plasma Levels of Male Wistar Rats

The purpose of this study was the effect of eighteen weeks’ endurance training and high-fat diet on body weight and amylin plasma levels of male Wistar rats. In order to, 24 young male Wistar rats were divided into three groups (n=8) includes base, control (C) and endurance training (ET) groups in age range 50 to 60 days and average weight 160±10 gr. The ET group rats run on treadmill without slope by 5 day/week, per session 15-65 min, 15-30 m/min velocity for eighteen weeks (incremental). Base group used for initial sampling and C group no train for eighteen weeks. High fat diet was included 60% fat, 24% CHO and 16% protein available two groups; C and ET. Blood sampling was conducted after latest training session with 12h fasting. Data were analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA and Tukey Post-Hoc tests (P
