Abstract EN
Objective.
We evaluated the influence of exercise on functional capacity, cardiac remodeling, and skeletal muscle oxidative stress, MAPK, and NF-κB pathway in rats with aortic stenosis- (AS-) induced heart failure (HF).
Methods and Results.
Eighteen weeks after AS induction, rats were assigned into sedentary control (C-Sed), exercised control (C-Ex), sedentary AS (AS-Sed), and exercised AS (AS-Ex) groups.
Exercise was performed on treadmill for eight weeks.
Statistical analyses were performed with Goodman and ANOVA or Mann-Whitney.
HF features frequency and mortality did not differ between AS groups.
Exercise improved functional capacity, assessed by maximal exercise test on treadmill, without changing echocardiographic parameters.
Soleus cross-sectional areas did not differ between groups.
Lipid hydroperoxide concentration was higher in AS-Sed than C-Sed and AS-Ex.
Activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase was changed in AS-Sed and restored in AS-Ex.
NADPH oxidase activity and gene expression of its subunits did not differ between AS groups.
Total ROS generation was lower in AS-Ex than C-Ex.
Exercise modulated MAPK in AS-Ex and did not change NF-κB pathway proteins.
Conclusion.
Exercise improves functional capacity in rats with AS-induced HF regardless of echocardiographic parameter changes.
In soleus, exercise reduces oxidative stress, preserves antioxidant enzyme activity, and modulates MAPK expression.
