Effect of Eight Weeks of Resistance Training with Spirulina Platensis Ingestion on the Heart Weight and Cardiac C/EBPβ Expression in Male Rats

Abstract: Background: Resistance training and Spirulina consumption could change the expression of the gene involved in hypertrophy. Objectives: The study investigated the effect of eight weeks of resistance training with Spirulina platensis ingestion on the heart weight and cardiac CCAAT-enhancer-binding proteins beta (C/EBPβ) expression in male rats. Methods: We divided 32 male Sprague Dally rats into four groups: control (CO; n = 8), Spirulina platensis (SP; n = 8), resistance training (RE; n = 8), and Spirulina plus… Show more

“…After one week of maintenance in the laboratory (normal conditions), the animals were trained to climb a vertical ladder as the exercise for this study. The climbing familiarization sessions were conducted three to four times every day for a week without weights attached [17,18].…”

“…The weight selected at the start of training was 30% of the mice's body weight and increased to 100% of their weight in the last week (10% added to the previous load each week). The resistance training consisted of 3 sets of 5 repetitions with 1-min rest between each repetition and 2 min of rest between sets [17,18].…”
