Modulatory Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training on Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Rats with Different Ages

We tested the hypothesis that aerobic exercise training (AET) would modulate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats of various ages. Wistar male rats ( n  = 72) were assigned to three groups (young, adult, and elderly) with three subgroups for each age: doxorubicin (DG, n  = 8), AET + doxorubici...

Description
Summary:We tested the hypothesis that aerobic exercise training (AET) would modulate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats of various ages. Wistar male rats ( n  = 72) were assigned to three groups (young, adult, and elderly) with three subgroups for each age: doxorubicin (DG, n  = 8), AET + doxorubicin (AETDG, n  = 8), AET + Saline (AETSG, n  = 8). Following the AET intervention, rats were anesthetized and killed to collect heart tissues in order to determine heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-10 (IL10), and c-reactive protein (CRP). Greater levels of SOD and lower levels of MDA were found in young as compared to elderly rats ( P
