Background: The crucial role of adipose tissue (AT) in energy balance has sparked significant interest in researching this tissue as a potential target for obesity treatment. Exercise and dietary interventions are promising strategies for addressing obesity. This study aimed to examine the impact of aerobic training and royal jelly on the expression of thermogenesis-related genes in the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of obese rats.
Methods: Rats (n=45) were divided into five groups: normal diet (ND), high fat diet (HFD), high fat diet-training (HFDT), high fat diet-royal jelly (HFDRJ), and high fat diet-training-royal jelly (HFDTRJ). Royal jelly treatment was administered at a dosage of 100 mg/kg body weight. The training was conducted at an intensity of 50-60% VO2max, five days a week for eight weeks. Thermogenesis genes expression was evaluated by the real-time PCR method.
Results: Induction of a HFD significantly reduced the changes in UCP-1, PRDM16, and CREB-1 compared to the normal diet (ND) group (p=0.001). Aerobic training and RJ significantly increased the levels of UCP-1, PRDM16 and CREB-1 in the VAT of HFD rats (p=0.0001). Combined intervention of aerobic training with RJ had no significant effect on the levels of UCP-1, PRDM16 and CREB-1 in the VAT of HFD rats.
Conclusion: It appears that aerobic training and RJ are effective methods for positively regulating the gene expression related to thermogenesis in AT, which may mitigate obesity induced by a high-fat diet.
