Background and Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of resistance training on some apoptotic markers of kidney tissue with morphine withdrawal syndrome in diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of eight, namely groups with diabetes, morphine diabetes, diabetes + resistance training, and diabetes morphine + resistance training. After the implementation of the diabetes induction protocol, the addicted groups received morphine orally for 21 days, while the training groups participated in the resistance training protocol for 8 weeks. Afterward, all the mice were killed and dissected and their kidney tissue was removed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent Assay kits were used to evaluate apoptotic factors.
Results: Cytochrome-C variable results showed a significant decrease in the morphine diabetes (P=0.002), diabetes + resistance training (P=0.001), and morphine diabetes + resistance training (P=0.001) groups, compared to the diabetes group. Results of the caspase-8 variable also indicated that the diabetes + resistance training group underwent a significant decrease, compared to the diabetes (P=0.004) and morphine diabetes group (P=0.012). Furthermore, the reduction of caspase 3 variable results in the morphine diabetes (P=0.001), diabetes + resistance training (P=0.001), and morphine diabetes + resistance training (P=0.002) groups was significant, compared to the diabetes group.
Conclusion: Resistance training reduces apoptotic indices in kidney tissue and can be a suitable treatment strategy for diabetes and withdrawal syndrome diabetes.
