Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of ChREBP and its downstream target genes on 12-week aerobic exercise prevention C57BL/6 mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver. Methods Forty-two male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into four groups (n=8~13): the normal diet sedentary group (ND) (n=8), the normal diet exercised group (ND-Ex), the high-fat diet sedentary group (HFD) and the high-fat diet exercised group (HFD-Ex). After the simultaneous starting of high-fat diet feeding, the mice were submitted to an aerobic swimming training protocol (60 minutes/day) five days per week, for 12 weeks. At the end of the experiment, mice liver, blood triglycerides and total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance were determined. The expression of ChREBP and its downstream target genes were measured by RT-PCR. The level of Akt phosphorylation in liver was measured by Western blot. Result Compared with group ND, group HFD had significantly higher body weight, impaired oral glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, liver steatosis and NAFLD. The expression of ChREBP and its downstream target genes in group HFD were significantly increased, and the level of Akt phosphorylation in liver was decreased. Compared with group HFD, aerobic exercise reduced overweight and all the other worst findings, especially NAFLD in group HFD-Ex. The expression of ChREBP and its downstream target genes in group HFD-Ex were decreased, and the level of Akt phosphorylation in liver was increased. Conclusion Aerobic exercise has a preventive effect on high-fat diet-induced NAFLD, and this may be related to aerobic exercise inhibition of ChREBP and its downstream target genes expression.
