The Effect of Eight Weeks of Endurance Training on Levels of Apoptotic Proteins of Cytochrome C, Caspase 8 and Caspase 3 in Kidney Tissue of Diabetic Male Rats with Morphine Withdrawal Syndrome

The effects of exercise on kidney tissue in withdrawal syndrome are unclear. In this study, the effect of 8 weeks of endurance training on the protein levels of cytochrome C, caspase 8 and caspase 3 in the kidney tissue of diabetic and diabetic rats with withdrawal syndrome was investigated.

32 male Wistar rats were used in this experimental study. After the induction of diabetes, the rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 8. Including: diabetes control (D), morphine diabetes (D.M), diabetes + endurance training (D.ET), morphine diabetes+endurance training (D.M.ET). Then, in addicted groups, the oral method was used for morphine dependence. The training groups performed 8 weeks of endurance training protocol. At the end of the study, all rats were anesthetized, dissected and their kidneys were separated and kept at -70 degrees for further investigations. Protein levels of the indicators of this study were measured by ELISA kits. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test at a significance level of P≤0.05.

The results of this study showed a significant decrease in caspase 3 protein levels in D.ET (P=0.000), D.M.ET (P=0.000) and cytochrome C levels in D.ET (P=0.000), D.M.ET (P=0.000) groups in Comparison with group D. Also, caspase 8 protein levels in D.M.ET group (P=0.015) compared to D group and D.M.ET group (P=0.038) compared to D.M group showed a significant decrease (P≥0.05).

Endurance training can probably have a positive and protective effect on the reduction of kidney tissue apoptosis in diabetic and diabetic withdrawal syndrome rats.
