Exercise training prevents increased intraocular pressure and sympathetic vascular modulation in an experimental model of metabolic syndrome

Abstract: The present study aimed to study the effects of exercise training (ET) performed by rats on a 10-week high-fructose diet on metabolic, hemodynamic, and autonomic changes, as well as intraocular pressure (IOP). Male Wistar rats receiving fructose overload in drinking water (100 g/L) were concomitantly trained on a treadmill for 10 weeks (FT group) or kept sedentary (F group), and a control group (C) was kept in normal laboratory conditions. The metabolic evaluation comprised the Lee index, glycemia, and insulin… Show more

“…Finally, the analysis and comparison with animal studies could shed some light on the behavior of IOP with exercise. For instance, Castro et al [ 72 ] found positive results in the IOP of rats on a high-fructose diet with treadmill exercise at low intensity. These authors proposed as potential underlying mechanisms improved insulin sensitivity, reduced arterial pressure, and diminished peripheral sympathetic modulation [ 72 ].…”

“…Previously, the beneficial effect of training has been studied in IOP, where despite being transiently reduced by dynamic exercise, for the great majority of patients, exercise is beneficial to the eyes by reducing the risk of central retinal vein occlusion and neovascular AMD and by improving the control of systemic hypertension and diabetes [50, 51]. Therefore, more research is needed to determine whether exercise also has an influence on other parts of the eye or may have other benefits, as it is well known that the physiological effects that occur in the long term in people who do physical activity are changeable.…”
