Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluation the effect of 6 weeks continuous endurance training (CET) on Caspase-3 and metallothionein-2 in left ventricular Cardiac tissue of male rats.14 elderly male rats divided to two group’s control (n=7) and endurance training (n=7) (65% - 70% maximum speed). Gene expression of Caspase-3 and metallothionein-2 were assessment by Real time - PCR and the quantification of gene expression levels using the formula 2-ΔΔct were used by Independent t-test. The results showed that the 6 weeks of d CET leads to non-significant decrease in Gene expression of Caspase-3 (P=0.078) and non-significant increase of metallothionein-2 (P=0.513). It seems, continuous endurance training does not to cause apoptotic damage in elderly people and can be used in this population.
