TABLE 1.
Modifiable vitiligo profile | Potential from acute exercise | Potential from physical training |
Metabolic profile | ||
It is associated to MetS and ↑ insulin resistance, adipose tissue, blood pressure, LDL-C, and ↓ HDL-C. |
↑ gene transcription to glucose uptake, fat oxidation, cardiac and vascular remodeling. | ↓ insulin resistance. ↓ LDL-C and blood pressure. ↑HDL-C. Improvement in several MetS markers. ↓ adipose tissue. |
Redox system profile | ||
↑ ROS/RNS. ↓ EAS enzyme (GPx, TrxR, and CAT). Chronic ↑ NADPH-oxidase and SOD activity. ↑Lipid, protein, and DNA peroxidation. |
Acute ↑ NADPH-oxidase activity induces EAS enzymes gene transcription (via NF-κB pathway). ↑ Nrf2-ARE/HO-1 pathway activation. |
↑ EAS enzymes capacity and ↓ lipid, protein, and DNA peroxidation. ↓ROS. ↓ NADPH-oxidase activity-induced ROS. ↑ NADPH synthesis. |
Mitochondrial structure and function profile | ||
↓ mitochondrial mitophagy in melanocytes. ↓ cardiolipin quality and quantity; ↓ melanocytes mitochondrial ATP production and mitochondrial complexes and supercomplex activity. ↑ mitochondrial ROS emission. |
↑ gene transcription for mitochondrial biogenesis and remodeling. ↑ IGF-1/PI3K/AKT/ACL pathway activation to cardiolipin biosynthesis. |
↑ mitochondrial mitophagy and remodeling (mitofision, mitofusion). ↑ ATP mitochondrial (increase in complex 1) and mitochondrial mass. ↑ cardiolipin content and supercomplex formation and ATP content. ↓ mitochondrial ROS emission. |
Immune function profile | ||
↑ IL-2, IL-6, and IL-15. ↓ IL-4 and IL-10. ↑ TNF-α, IFNα, and IFN- γ. ↑ memory CD8+ T cell. ↓Tregs. ↑ extracellular HSP. |
CD8+ T cells mobilization to bloodstream removing hyper-reactive senescent cells. ↑ acute increase in IFN-α, IL-6, and IL-1β inducing a regulatory effect in IL-4, IL-10, and IL-1RA. |
↓ IL-2, IL-6, and ↑ IL-15 ↑ IL-10 and IL-4. ↓ TNF-α and IFN- γ. ↓ total lymphocytes, CD8+ T cell proliferation, memory CD8+ T cell, and ↑ senescent CD8+ T cell apoptosis. ↑ Tregs. ↓ extracellular HSP and ↑ intracellular HSP |
