The Role of Quercetin and Exercise in Modulating Apoptosis and Cardiomyopathy via PI3K/AKT/FOXO3 Pathways in Diabetic Obese Rats by Mojdeh Khajehlandi, Lotfali Bolboli

“…Objective: Quercetin and exercise both have antidiabetic effects through decreasing blood glucose while increasinginsulin sensitivity. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT)and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) exercises along with quercetin administration on apoptosis andcardiomyopathy in diabetic obese rats.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 35 male Wistar rats [diabetic rats for experimental groups andnormal rats for healthy control (HC)] were divided into seven groups (for each group n=5): HC, diabetic control (DC),diabetic quercetin control (DQC), diabetic HIIT (DHT), diabetic MICT (DMT), DHT with quercetin (DQHT) and DMTwith quercetin (DQMT). …”
