The effects of voluntary wheel running during weight-loss on biomarkers of hepatic lipid metabolism and inflammation in C57Bl/6J mice.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of voluntary wheel running (VWR) during weight-loss on hepatic lipid and inflammatory biomarkers using a murine model. To induce obesity, male C57Bl/6 mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet (HF) for 10 weeks. At 10 weeks, weight-loss was promoted by randomizing HF-fed mice to a normal diet (ND) either with (WL + VWR) or without (WL) access to running wheels for 8 weeks. Age-matched dietary control mice were fed either a ND or HF for 18 weeks. Following weight-loss, WL + VWR had a lower body mass compared to all groups despite an average weekly caloric consumption comparable to HF mice. WL + VWR had an increased adiponectin concentration when compared to WL, but no difference between WL and WL + VWR was observed for plasma glucose and lipid bioma
