CHANGES IN LEPTIN LEVELS AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH INSULIN: EFFECTS OF CHRONIC ENDURANCE TRAINING IN RATS Author: FABIANA BRAGA BENATTI Adviser: PROF.DR. ANTONIO HERBERT LANCHA JUNIOR Obesity currently qualifies as a worldwide health epidemic. With the cloning of mouse ob gene and its receptor leptin was discovered. Leptin is expressed and secreted primarily by adipose tissue and is highly correlated to body fat mass. Nevertheless many factors can regulate leptin synthesis and expression, such as fasting, sympathetic activity, insulin, exercise and changes in energy balance. Endurance training effects on leptin are still contradictory. Therefore the aim of the present study was to verify the effects of endurance training on leptin levels. Male Wistar rats were separated in two groups: trained (T) and sedentary control (C). Energy intake and basal energy expenditure were not different between groups. Trained rats had lower final body weight, body fat mass, insulin levels and improved glycemic response. Leptin mRNA expression was higher in visceral than in subcutaneous adipose tissue in both groups. However, no difference in leptin expression between groups in either fat depot was found. Lower leptin levels in trained rats were due primarily to their lower body fat mass. Nonetheless, after correction for body fat mass leptin levels were still lower in exercised rats, suggesting that there might be other regulators of leptin levels in response to endurance training, being insulin the main candidate for such role.
