The purpose of this study was to investigate the gene expression related with lipid metabolism according to intensity and duration of treadmill exercise in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control(CON), high -intensity(H-EX) and low-intensity exercise(L-EX) groups. Rats in L-Ex group were forced to run on the treadmill at the speed of 5m/min for initial 10 min and 10m/min for next 20 min. On the other hand, rats in the H-Ex group were forced to run on the treadmill slope 0 at the speed of 16m/min for initial 10 min, 22m/min for next 20 min, and 25m/min for last 40 min.
Expression of UCP3 of the WG and RG in L-Ex and H-Ex groups was increased compared with control immediately after exercise. Expression of UCP3 of the WG and RG in the H-Ex group was higher than in the L-Ex group.
CPT-1 expression of the WG and RG in the H-Ex group was increased immediately and 6 hr after exercise compared with control. CPT-1 expression of the RG in the H-Ex group was highest 6hr after exercise. CPT-1 expression of the RG and WG in the L-Ex group was not differ among groups.
Palmitate oxidation rate of the RG and WG was increased 0, 6 and 12 hr after exercise in the H-Ex group, and 0 and 6 hr after exercise in the L-Ex group compared with control. Palmitate oxidation rate of the H-Ex group was higher than in the L-Ex group 0, 6 and 12 hr after exercise in RG, and 0 and 6hr after exercise in WG.In the summary, gene expression of UCP3 and CPT1 that related with lipid metabolism was not significantly affected during 0 to 60 min recovery time by low-intensity exercise, but effected by high-intensity exercise.
In conclusion, exercise intensity and amounts might be have very important role to regulate gene expression related with metabolism.
