| Summary: | Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the possible mechanisms for the progression of heart disease. This study aimed to effect of eight weeks of aerobic training and curcumin supplementation on PGC1- α gene expression and cardiomyocyte mitochondrial citrate synthase in Cardiomyocytes of male rats with myocardial infarction model.
Materials and Methods: 40 male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: healthy control, heart myocardial infarction control, aerobic exercise, supplement and exercise + supplement. The training and training+supplement groups were influenced by training on the intelligent electronic animal treadmill for 8 weeks, 5 days a week. At this time, the myocardial infarction control and supplement groups had no exercise program. First, healthy controls were killed. Expression of PGC1-α gene and mitochondrial citrate synthase using real-time PCR method, the obtained data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk test, two-way and one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test.
Result: Results showed that the expression of PGC1-α and citrate synthase of cardiomyocytes in the groups trained with and without curcumin consumption is significantly higher than the supplemented and myocardial infarction control groups (P=0.001). No significant difference was observed between the two groups of exercise and exercise + supplement. The expression of both genes in the myocardial infarction control group was lower than that of healthy controls (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: Eight weeks of aerobic exercise alone and in combination with curcumin increased the expression of PGC1-α gene and citrate synthase. The combined effect of exercise and curcumin were nonsignificantly greater. |
