Impacts of High Fructose Diet and Chronic Exercise on Nitric Oxide Synthase and Oxidative Stress in Rat Kidney

Chronic exercise (Ex) exerts antihypertensive and renoprotective effects in rats fed a high fructose diet (HFr). To elucidate the mechanisms, the impacts of an HFr and Ex on the nitric oxide (NO) system and oxidative stress in the kidney were examined. Rats were fed a control diet or an HFr, and a p...

Sumario:Chronic exercise (Ex) exerts antihypertensive and renoprotective effects in rats fed a high fructose diet (HFr). To elucidate the mechanisms, the impacts of an HFr and Ex on the nitric oxide (NO) system and oxidative stress in the kidney were examined. Rats were fed a control diet or an HFr, and a part of the HFr-fed rats underwent treadmill running for 12 weeks. The HFr did not affect nitrate/nitrite (NO(x)) levels in plasma and urine, and Ex increased the NO(x) levels. The HFr increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels in plasma and urine, and Ex decreased the HFr-increased TBARS levels in plasma. The HFr increased the neuronal and endothelial NO synthase (nNOS and eNOS) expressions, and Ex enhanced the HFr-increased eNOS expression. The HFr inhibited the eNOS phosphorylation at serine 1177, and Ex restored the HFr-inhibited eNOS phosphorylation. The HFr increased xanthine oxidase and NADPH oxidase activities, and Ex restored the HFr-increased xanthine oxidase activity but enhanced the HFr-increased NADPH oxidase activity. The HFr increased the nitrotyrosine levels, and Ex attenuated the HFr-increased levels. These results indicate that although Ex enhances the HFr-increased eNOS expression and NADPH oxidase activity, an HFr inhibits renal eNOS phosphorylation and NO bioavailability, whereas Ex ameliorates them.
