Abstract:Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic expression of adipokines in the adipocytes of monosodium glutamate (MSG)-treated obese rats submitted to physical activity. Materials and methods: Obesity was induced by neonatal MSG administration. Exercised rats (MSG and control) were subjected to swim training for 30 min for 10 weeks, whereas their respective controls remained sedentary. Total RNA was obtained from sections of the mesenteric adipose tissue of the rats. mRNA levels of adiponectin (… Show more
“…injection of sodium pentobarbital (5mg/g body weight) and euthanized by decapitation. Periepididymal fat pads, retroperitoneal fat pads and mesenteric fat pads were removed, washed, and weighed to estimate obesity [23].…”
HIGHLIGHTS • Liraglutide reduced deposits of fat and triglycerides in obese rats. • Glycemia and insulinemia of obese rats were reduced by liraglutide. • Physical exercise potentiated the effects of liraglutide. 2 Didek, D.; et al.
