The Effect of Acute Aerobic Exercise on Redox Homeostasis and Mitochondrial Function of Rat White Adipose Tissue

Figure 2

The effects of an acute exercise on the main sources of ROS of retroperitoneal WAT in rats. The animals were submitted to aerobic training on a treadmill for 20 minutes at an intensity of 75% of maximum speed and euthanized at different time points. (a) NADPH oxidase activity was measured by spectrophotometry in microsomal fraction (/group). (b) Generation of mitochondrial H₂O₂ measured by spectrophotometry (/group). CTRL: control; 0 h; euthanasia immediately after exercise; 30 min: euthanasia 30 minutes after exercise; 1 h: euthanasia 1 hour after exercise; 2 h: euthanasia 2 hours after exercise. The data were expressed as the (/group). ; ; .
