Figure 8. Effects of chronic exercise on food consumption, body weight, and IL-6 and IL-10 production.

Figure 8

Evaluation of (A) food intake (kcal) and (B) body weight in control and obese animals during chronic exercise protocol. Chow rest (black square), chow exercise (white square), DIO rest (black ball), and DIO exercise (white ball). (C) Body weight change between the 1st and 24th day. (D) Epididymal fat pad weight after chronic exercise, (E) IL-6 and (F) IL-10 mRNA levels in the hypothalamus of lean and obese rats at rest or after chronic exercise. Western blots showing hypothalamic lysates from lean and obese Wistar rats; (G) IKKβ phosphorylation and IκBα expression and (H) PERK phosphorylation and CHOP expression 1 and 24 d after the chronic exercise protocol. Data are the means ± SEM. * p<0.05 versus chow at rest; § p<0.05 versus DIO at rest; # p<0.05 versus chow group (rest); n = 8–10 animals per group. Lean animals (white bars) and obese animals (black bars).
