Effect of moderate exercise training and low-fat diet on peritoneal macrophage immunocompetence in high-fat diet-induced obese mice model |

Abstract |
This study investigated the effect of moderate exercise training on macrophage immunocompetence in high fat diet-induced obese mice. To determine the differential effects of exercise training and low fat diet on macrophage, C57BL/6 male mice (4 week old, n=32) were fed high-fat diet for 5 weeks to induce obese. The high fat-induced obese mice were then divided into four groups and differently treated by high/low fat diet and exercise training for a further 8 weeks; HHC (13 weeks high-fat diet), HHE (13 weeks high-fat diet with 8 weeks Exercise training) and HLC (5 weeks high-fat diet and 8 weeks low-fat diet), HLE (5 weeks high-fat diet and 8 weeks low-fat diet with exercise training). The exercise groups were performed on a motorized treadmill, running for 30-60 min/day at 10-22 m/min, 0% grade for 8wks. Body weight was significantly decreased for those with a low-fat diet and exercise training (HLE). Macrophage phagocytosis was significantly increased by low-fat diet and exercise training (HLE). The percentage of stimulation of NO release induced by LPS was higher in HLE than in other groups. The percentage of stimulation of IL-1β release induced by LPS was higher in HHE and HLE than in other groups. The percentage of stimulation of IFN-γ release induced by LPS was higher in HLE than in other groups. These findings suggest that moderate exercise and low-fat diet have beneficial effects on macrophage immunocompetence in high fat diet-induced obese mice. |
