Background: Obesity-induced insulin resistance is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, as potential mechanisms of increased insulin, how oxidative stress (OS) advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) can be changed through exercise is not fully understood.
Methods: A total of 36 C57BL/6 mice were fed either a high-fat diet (HFD; n=19) or chow diet (Chow; n=17) for 7 weeks. The two groups were then divided into voluntary running wheel exercise or no-exercise subgroups each, and the four groups were provided with another 8 weeks of intervention: 1) HFD+exercise (HE; n=11), 2) HFD+no exercise (HN; n=8), 3) Chow+exercise (CE; n=8), and 4) Chow+no exercise (CN; n=9). Body weight, fasting insulin level, and AGEs were measured before and after intervention. ANOVA and Pearson’s multiple correlation coefficients were used for statistical analysis using SPSS statistics software version 20.0.
Results: The HE group showed significantly greater weight reduction (P<0.01), while CE and CN did not show significantly different weight reductions between each other. Also, the fasting insulin level was significantly lower in the HE group than in the HN group. The 7-week HFD intervention significantly increased OS and AGEs. However, 8 weeks of exercise did not significantly change OS and AGEs among the groups.
Conclusion: The findings of the current study suggest that OS and AGEs may not be related to the pathway of exercise-induced improvement in insulin levels in obese mice.
