Treadmill Training Effect on the Myokines Content in Skeletal Muscles of Mice With a Metabolic Disorder Model

Abstract

The effect of treadmill training loads on the content of cytokines in mice skeletal muscles with metabolic disorders induced by a 16 week high fat diet (HFD) was studied. The study included accounting the age and biorhythmological aspects. In the experiment, mice were used at the age of 4 and 32 weeks, by the end of the experiment—respectively 20 and 48 weeks. HFD feeding lasted 16 weeks. Treadmill training were carried out for last 4 weeks six times a week, the duration 60 min and the speed from 15 to 18 m/min. Three modes of loading were applied. The first subgroup was subjected to stress in the morning hours (light phase); the second subgroup was subjected to stress in the evening hours (dark phase); the third subgroup was subjected to loads in the shift mode (the first- and third-weeks treadmill training was used in the morning hours, the second and fourth treadmill training was used in the evening hours). In 20-week-old animals, the exercise effect does not depend on the training regime, however, in 48-week-old animals, the decrease in body weight in mice with the shift training regime was more profound. HFD affected muscle myokine levels. The content of all myokines, except for LIF, decreased, while the concentration of CLCX1 decreased only in young animals in response to HFD. The treadmill training caused multidirectional changes in the concentration of myokines in muscle tissue. The IL-6 content changed most profoundly. These changes were observed in all groups of animals. The changes depended to the greatest extent on the training time scheme. The effect of physical activity on the content of IL-15 in the skeletal muscle tissue was observed mostly in 48-week-old mice. In 20-week-old animals, physical activity led to an increase in the concentration of LIF in muscle tissue when applied under the training during the dark phase or shift training scheme. In the HFD group, this effect was significantly more pronounced. The content of CXCL1 did not change with the use of treadmill training in almost all groups of animals. Physical activity, introduced considering circadian rhythms, is a promising way of influencing metabolic processes both at the cellular and systemic levels, which is important for the search for new ways of correcting metabolic disorders.

Effect of Virtual Reality on Balance Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…For example, there are many doubts regarding exercise duration and the exercise effect ( 66 ). The total time of exercise is theoretically proportional to the exercise effect, and prolonged exercise is expected to yield good exercise benefits ( 67 ). However, in the studies by Chen et al ( 49 ) and Jha et al ( 43 ), the total exercise duration of VR amounted to 1,440 min, but it did not produce the expected intervention effect.…”

Effects of Treadmill Running at Different Light Cycles in Mice with Metabolic Disorders

“…Myokines entering the systemic circulation can have various effects on energy metabolism. Our previous publication showed that treadmill training caused multidirectional changes in the concentration of myokines in muscle tissue [57]. The content of IL-6 has changed most profoundly.…”

Role of Myostatin in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Review of the Clinical Impact

“…In addition, myokines collaborate with the communication that exists between the muscle and other organs, such as adipose tissue; the intestine, brain, pancreas, and liver; endothelial tissue; bones; and skin [ 47 ]. In the muscle tissue, there are also infiltrating immune cells and muscle macrophages that contribute to the secretion of both cytokines and myokines [ 48 ]. Myostatin is one of the best-known myokines because it was the first substance secreted by skeletal muscle tissue to be identified and defined as a myokine [ 49 ].…”
