RESUMOO Objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos de diferentes protocolos de treinamento físico (TF) sobre a sensibilidade à insulina (SI) e a fosforilação da Akt (p-Akt) no músculo de ratos obesos. Os animais foram distribuídos em quatro grupos: Controle: recebeu dieta padrão (C); Obeso sedentário: recebeu dieta hiperlipídica (DHL) por 12 semanas (OS); Obeso treinado-1: recebeu DHL por 12 semanas e TF s...
Objective : To investigate the effects of different intensities of acute exercise on insulin sensitivity and protein kinase B/Akt activity in skeletal muscle of obese mice. Methods : Swiss mice were randomly divided into four groups, and fed either a standard diet (control group) or high fat diet (obese sedentary group and obese exercise group 1 and 2) for 12 weeks. Two different exercise protocols were used: s...
