Abstract :
Diabetes and related diseases are one of the leading causes of death in the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on plasma levels of WISP-1 and WISP-2 in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, control + diabetes, training, training + diabetes after getting acquainted with the new environment and how to work on the treadmill. The training program for the 8-week training group was: 5 sessions per week of running on a rodent treadmill for 60 minutes at a speed of 25 meters per minute was equivalent to 50 to 60% Vo2max. Blood samples were taken from the subjects of all research groups 48 hours after the last training session and were used to analyze the indicators. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test were used for comparison between groups for data analysis. The results of one-way analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between the groups in relation to WISP2 and WISP-2 levels (P = 0.001). Conclusion: Based on the present findings, it can be stated that moderate intensity aerobic exercise can also be effective in modulating plasma levels of WISP-1 and WISP-2 in diabetes.
