Effects of exercise training on systolic and diastolic function of mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of exercise training on heart function of mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four healthy C57 mice were randomly divided into three groups high-fat exercise group ( n = 8), high-fat control group ( n = 8), and low-fat control group ( n = 8). High-fat groups were fed with a high-fat diet for 16 weeks, and the high-fat exercise group was subjected to aerobic treadmill exercise and resistance exercise for 8 weeks. After 24 weeks, the cardiac structure and function of the three groups were detected, and the indexes of the mouse heart were analyzed and compared. Results: The high-fat control group maintained hyperglycemia. The results of echocardiography showed that left ventricular eject fraction in the high-fat exercise group and the low-fat control group was significantly higher than that of the high-fat control group (68.99% ± 2.04% vs. 60.41% ± 2.31%, 66.16% ± 2.12% vs. 60.41% ± 2.31%, P P P P P > 0.05), but there was no significant difference. Conclusion: The above data indicated that 8 weeks of exercise training can improve the heart function of mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy, especially diastolic heart function. Left ventricular systolic function had some trend to improve, but there is no statistical difference. Exercise intervention may promote the rehabilitation of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
