Abstract

Background& purpose: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on CTRP-3 training and visceral improvement in diets fed with a high-fat diet. Methods: Twent-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: standard diet (ND) (6), high-fat diet (HFD) (6), high-fat diet with high-intensity interval training (HFD+HIIT) (6), high-fat diet with moderate intensity continuous training (HFD+MICT) (6). The HIIT and MICT groups participated in sports activities specific to their group for 8 weeks, 5 sessions per week. CTRP-3 protein levels were measured using western blot method. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's tests. Results: The findings showed that the high-fat diet led to a significant decrease in visceral fat CTRP-3 compared to the standard diet group (P=0.002). In contrast, both groups of HIIT and MICT training led to a significant increase in visceral fat CTRP-3 compared to the high-fat diet group (P=0.029, P=0.004). However, there was no significant difference between the training groups (P
