Background and Objective: Autophagy plays an important role in the aging process. Exercise is known to be one of the most important modulators of aging; however, the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on autophagy are not well known. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of HIIT on protein levels of sestrin 2, AMPK, beclin1 and ULK1 in skeletal muscle of elderly rats.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-old male Wistar rats (18 months) were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. After estimating the maximum speed, rats in the experimental group participated in 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training of running on the treadmill (5-8 sets of running for 2 minutes at an intensity of 80-100 VO2Max with rest intervals of running for 2 minutes at an intensity of 50 VO2Max) five sessions per week. Skeletal muscle tissue samples were extracted 48 hours after the last training session to measure protein levels of factors assessed. An independent t-test was used to analyze the data and p < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: HIIT resulted in a significant increase in protein levels of sestrin 2 (P=0.01), p-AMPK (P=0.005), beclin1 (P=0.001), and ULK1 (P=0.03) in the experimental group compared to control one.
Conclusion: It seems that HIIT can play a regulatory role in autophagy through the sestrin 2 / AMPK pathway and modulate subsequent progression of changes associated with aging in the skeletal muscle of elderly rats.
