Effects of Exercise, Diet and Antihypertensive Medication Therapy, and a Combination of These Therapies on Risk Factors of Metabolic Syndrome in OLETF Rats
【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.28 Vol.28】
BW in Sed and Capt groups increased with aging, and conversely Ex, Diet, Ex&Diet and Ex&Capt groups showed a significant decrease in BW compared to that of Sed and Capt groups during therapy. BP in Ex, Diet and Ex&Diet groups had a tendency to be higher, but Capt and Ex&Capt groups had lower BP levels during therapy. Ex, Diet, Ex&Diet and Ex&Capt treatments improved GI and serum lipids levels, and reduced BW, VFM and subcutaneous fat masses (SFM). Especially worthy of notice is the fact that Ex significantly reduced VFM compared to the amount reduced by Diet, although there was no difference in the reduction of SFM between Diet and Ex treatments. Capt improved serum lipid levels, but there was no improvement of GI, nor a reduction of VFM. There was no difference in the improvement of GI and fatty metabolism (FM) between Ex and Diet treatments, except that VFM reduction by Ex was greater than that by Diet treatment.
A combination therapy including exercise, diet and antihypertensive medication treatment may be more effective for the improvement of metabolic syndrome risk factors, particularly complicated with hypertension.
