The Effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on Gene Expression of Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP-1) in Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue of Wistar Rats

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on gene expression of Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP-1) in subcutaneous white adipose tissue of wistar rats. For this purpose,24 rats were divided into three groups included: 1) Control (n=8) 2) Moderate volume HIIT (n=8) and 3) high volume HIIT (n=8). The subjects of training groups underwent two models of HIIT at different volume (moderate and high) for 8 weeks (5 sessions per week). Forty-eight hours after last training session, rats were euthanized and subcutaneous adipose tissue (inguinal depot) were quickly dissected out. The Syber Green Real Time–PCR method were used to measure the gene expression of UCP-1. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analysis of data by a p value of P
