Nascimento-Gonçalves, Elisabete; Seixas, Fernanda; Palmeira, Carlos; Martins, Gabriela; Fonseca, Carolina; Duarte, José Alberto; Faustino-Rocha, Ana IThis work aimed to understand how lifelong exercise training promotes the remodelling of the immune system and prostate signalome in a rat model of PCa. Fifty-five male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control sedentary, control exercised, induced PCa sedentary and induced PCa exercised. Exercised animals were trained in a treadmill for 53 weeks. Pca induction consisted on the sequential administratio...
Effects of Age and Lifelong Moderate-Intensity Exercise Training on Rats' Testi...
Silva, Joana V.; Santiago, Joana; Matos, Bárbara; Henriques, Magda C.; Patrício, Daniela; Martins, Ana D.; Duarte, José A.; Ferreira, RitaAging is associated with testicular morphological and functional alterations, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and the impact of physical exercise are poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of age and lifelong moderate-intensity exercise on rat testis. Mature adults (35 weeks) and middle-aged (61 weeks) Wistar Unilever male rats were maintained as sedentary or subjected to a lifelong m...
Chronic exercise training attenuates prostate cancer-induced molecular remodell...
Matos, Bárbara; Patrício, Daniela; Henriques, Magda C.; Freitas, Maria J.; Vitorino, Rui; Duarte, Iola F.; Howl, John; Oliveira, Paula; Seixas, FernandaPurpose: Prostate cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death in males worldwide and, in addition to impairing prostate function, also causes testicular adaptations. In this study, we aim to investigate the preventive effect of exercise training on PCa-induced testicular dysfunction. Methods: As a model, we used fifty Wistar Unilever male rats, randomly divided in four experimental groups. Prostate cancer w...
