Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on muscle metabolism in rats with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using metabolomics approaches. Methods: 20 male Wistar rats at the age of 8 weeks-were assigned to four groups of five, each in the group randomly: control (CTL), type 2 diabetes (DB), HIIT (EX), and type 2 diabetes + HIIT (DBX). T2D was induced by two months of a high-fat diet plus a single dose of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg). Rats in the EX and DBX groups performed eight weeks of HIIT (running at 80–100 % of Vmax, 4–10 intervals). NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the changes in the muscle metabolome profile after training. Results: Changes in metabolite abundance following exercise revealed distinct clustering in multivariate analysis. The essential metabolite changes between the DB and CTL groups were arginine metabolism, purine metabolism, phosphate pathway, amino sugar metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis. However, Arginine biosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism were altered between the DBX and DB groups. Conclusion: These results suggest that eight weeks of HIIT could reverse metabolic changes induced by T2D in rat muscles, contributing to reduced FBG and HOMA-IR levels. |
