ABSTRACT

Aims The high concentration of Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and Tumor Necrosis Factor- α (TNF-α) is an important risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the simultaneous effect of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and the use of flaxseed oil with different doses on the serum levels of TNF-α and IL1β in rats.
Materials & Methods In this experimental study, 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: control, training, 10mg/kg supplement, 30mg/kg supplement, training with 10mg/kg supplement and training with 30mg/kg supplement. The groups performed High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for 10 weeks and received flaxseed oil extracts. Data were analyzed by one way ANOVA and LSD post hoc test.
Findings Serum levels of IL1β in the training group and training groups with doses of 10 and 30mg/kg of extract were significantly lower than the control group. Serum levels of IL1β in the training group with 30mg/kg of extract, was significantly lower than group with 10mg/kg of extract. Also, serum levels of TNF-α in the training group, training groups with doses of 10 and 30mg/kg of extract and group with 30mg/kg of extract were significantly lower than the control group. Serum levels of TNF-α in the training group with 30mg/kg of extract were significantly lower than other groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and consumption of flaxseed oil for 10 weeks have interactive effects on reduction of serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in rats.
