Aim: Obesity is a risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cancer, and genes such as UCP1 and irisin play a significant role in it. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the expression of UCP1 and irisin genes in the adipose tissue of obese rats following endurance exercise and electrical stimulation with caloric restriction. Methods: In this controlled experimental study with a control group, 35 male Wistar rats after induced obesity (8 weeks old, weighing 200±19 g) were randomly divided into 5 groups of 7: control, obese-fasted, fasted-endurance exercise, fasted-electrical stimulation, and fasted-endurance exercise-electrical stimulation. The intervention groups underwent endurance exercise (10-20 m/min for 20-40 minutes), electrical stimulation (foot shock device for 0.5 mA and 20 minutes), and fasting (8-16 hours) for a period of 4 weeks. After exercise and anesthesia, adipose tissue samples were taken and gene expression was measured using Real-time PCR. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with a significance level of p<0.05 and GraphPad software. Results: The results showed that endurance exercise significantly increased (P=0.0007) the expression of UCP1 gene and non-significantly increased irisin in obese fasted rats compared to the obese fasted group (p=0.766). Electrical stimulation also showed a significant decrease in both variables compared to the control group (P=0.0001). On the other hand, electrical stimulation and its combination with endurance training led to a significant increase in irisin gene expression compared to all groups (P=0.0001), but in the UCP1 gene, it showed a significant decrease compared to the control and fasting obese groups (P=0.0001). Conclusion: It seems that endurance exercise during fasting can be effective in converting white adipose tissue to brown adipose tissue and reducing its negative effects by increasing the levels of UCP1 and irisin proteins in obese samples.
