摘要：Hieda M, Takakura H, Komine H. Effect of Short-Term Aerobic Exercise Training on Adropin Levels in Obese Rats. JEPonline 2019;22(7):64-71. This study examined the effects of short-term aerobic exercise on blood adropin levels and adropin expression in the liver and heart of obese Zucker rats. Male obese Zucker rats were randomized into control (CO) and exercise training (EX) groups. The EX group trained on a treadmill for 30 min∙d-1 , 5 d∙wk -1 for 6 wks. Serum adropin levels and adropin expression in the organs were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot technique, respectively. Upon completion of the program, body weight of the EX group was lower than that of the CO group (P<0.05). However, plasma adropin levels were not significantly different. Adropin expression in the heart was higher in the EX group than in the CO group (P<0.05). Thus, short-term aerobic exercise training affected adropin expression in the heart of obese Zucker rats in the EX group. These findings suggest a new link between aerobic exercise and adropin levels.
