The effects of two different dietary regimens during exercise on outcome of experimental acute kidney injury

Abstract

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome characterized by rapid loss of excretory function of kidney. Both exercise and some diets have been shown to increase silent information regulator (SIRT1) expression leading to reduction of kidney injury. In this study, the effect of two different diets during exercise on kidney function, oxidative stress, inflammation and also SIRT1 in AKI was investigated. Materials and methods A number of rats were randomly divided into four groups; control without exercise, control with exercise, exercise + calorie restriction (CR), and exercise + time restriction (TR). Each group was divided into two subgroups of without AKI and with AKI (six rats in each group). Endurance exercise and diets were implemented before AKI. Serum urea and creatinine, urinary albumin, kidney malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), transforming growth factor (TGF-β1), and SIRT1 levels, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and relative kidney weight were measured before and 24 h after AKI induction. Results After induction of kidney injury, serum urea and creatinine, urinary albumin, kidney MDA and TGF-β1 levels increased in rats with both previous exercise and no previous exercise, while GFR, and kidney TAC and SIRT1 levels significantly decreased. These changes after AKI were less in the group with previous exercise than in the group that had no exercise (p <0.001). The TR diet during exercise caused a less increase in serum urea (p <0.01) and creatinine (p <0.01), and urinary albumin (p <0.001) levels after the injury compared to the just exercise group. Also, both CR and TR diets during exercise caused less change in MDA (p <0.001) and TAC (p <0.05, p <0.001, respectively) levels compared to just exercise group. Conclusions The results showed that exercise alone had no effect on preventing function impairment of kidney, oxidative stress, inflammation and also SIRT1 alteration following AKI, although these indexes were less among those with exercise than those without exercise. However, when the CR and TR diets were implemented during exercise, strong renoprotective effects appeared, and the protective effect of TR diet was greater.

The effect of two types of diet on apoptosis indexes, lipid profile and histopathological outcome in acute kidney injury during exercise

“…Better physical condition of exercised animals may lead to better hemodynamic and metabolic conditions and ultimately activation of molecular mechanisms of cell survival in kidney tissue [ 49 ]. SIRT1 expression was reduced in the AKI model [ 1 ], and it was shown that exercise reduces apoptosis by increasing SIRT1 expression [ 50 ]. SIRT1 is an evolutionary biological stress response that is associated with increased long-term function and survival of vital cell types [ 51 ].…”

“…Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex clinical dysfunction that is accompanied with increased serum urea and creatinine and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), [ 1 ]. Despite technological progresses in the treatment of renal failure, AKI continues to have unfavorable consequences.…”

The effect of low- and moderate-intensity interval training on cognitive behaviors of male and female rats with VPA-induced autism

“…Exercise can offer benefits to autistic individuals through rhythmic movements that are similar to stereotyped behaviors. Researchers have found that exercise can reduce repetitive behaviors, but this knowledge is often marginalized [ 15 , 16 ]. Intense exercise stimulates oxidative stress, but regular and MIT lessens oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant defense, ultimately reducing the symptoms of autism.…”

“…Several studies have revealed that treadmill exercise at low speeds (up to 8 m/min) could positively affect motor and cognitive disorders in autistic rats [ 19 , 20 ]. Also, in another study, treadmill exercise at moderate speeds (up to 25 m/min) could improve neurological deficits such as autism [ 16 ]. The effects of exercise in low and moderate intensities have been examined on autism, but no comparison has been made between these two types of exercise intensity in the two sexes.…”

The Prescription of Oral Mucosal Mesenchymal Stem Cells post‐Traumatic Brain Injury Improved the Kidney and Heart Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

“…In addition, TBI is related to the progression of acute renal failure (ARF). Systemic inflammation following trauma and the onset of cytokine cascade due to brain injury may impair blood flow to body organs and excretory function [ 12 , 13 ].…”
