O efeito do exercício aeróbico em ratos randomizados suplementados com óleo de coco extra virgem em resposta na quantificação de gordura e proteínas

Abstract

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise on randomized rats supplemented with extra virgin coconut oil in response to fat and protein quantification. Methods: We evaluated 32 male Wistar rats, divided into four groups; group 1 (CS), group 2 (CDS), group 3 (CDT), and group 4 (DTOC). The research protocol lasted 12 weeks, with two weeks of induction to dyslipidemia; two weeks of adaptation and eight weeks of physical exercise. Adaptation was performed with one hour of running / day and intensity starting at 17 m / min, reaching 27 m/min on the last day of adaptation. Results: The fat percentage of the DTOC group was lower than the other groups in relation to the fat percentage (p <0.05). The results of the trained and dyslipidemic CDT group (5.38 ± 0.26) showed a significant difference between the CDS and CS groups. Protein content was not statistically significant for all groups. We concluded that aerobic exercise associated with ingestion of extra virgin coconut oil was able to decrease the carcass fat percentage in the DTOC group compared to the control group. But, no statistically significant results for protein content have been demonstrated.
