Description
Summary:The primary aims of this study were to determine the effects of lifelong exercise and detraining on age‐related alterations in mitochondrial function, inflammation associated with senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and lipolysis in the perirenal fat and liver of rats. Female Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: young control (n = 12), old control (n = 12), detraining (n = 12), and lifelong exercise (n = 12). We then investigated mitochondrial function, SASP‐associated inflammation, and lipolysis in the perirenal fat and liver using qRT‐PCR and western blotting to assess the expression of AKT, hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α (HIF‐1α), nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB), c‐jun kinase (JNK), and p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (p38MAPK). In the tissues of both the perirenal fat and liver, lifelong exercise significantly improved mitochondrial function, SASP‐associated inflammation, and lipolysis. Meanwhile, pathways associated with inflammatory regulation were inhibited, predominantly via the activation of phosphorylated‐AKT (p‐AKT) and suppression of HIF‐1α in both tissues, and via JNK in the perirenal fat and p38MAPK in the liver. Furthermore, detraining activated NF‐κB expression in both tissues and induced the upregulation of serum high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) levels. Collectively, lifelong exercise was found to exert beneficial effects by ameliorating age‐related alterations in mitochondrial function, SASP‐associated inflammation, and lipolysis in perirenal fat and liver tissues, potentially inhibiting inflammation via the JNK and p38 MAPK pathways, respectively, as well as the HIF‐1α and AKT pathways in both tissues. In contrast, detraining induced high levels of circulating hsCRP by activating the NF‐κB signaling pathway in both tissues.
