Popis: Neurodegenerative disorders, such as deficits in cognition and motor coordination, are associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). It is believed that Corticosterone (CORT) has a role in behavioral functions. Exercise is beneficial on neurobehavioral impairment in DM; however, the debate about the value of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) has been long-lasting. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of HIIT and MICT on cognitive performance, motor coordination, and serum CORT level using streptozotocin (STZ)–induced diabetes mice. We used STZ (50 mg/kg, i.p.) for five consecutive days to induce diabetes, followed by treatment with MICT and HIIT for 8 weeks. STZ-induced chronic diabetes significantly induced cognitive deficiency and motor coordination impairment in mice (p
