Abstract

Systemic lupus erithematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimune disease of unknown etiology. The main manifestations of the disease are due to a chronic inflammatory process which is associated with the increased prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) in SLE patients. It is well established that a physically active life may benefit the chronic inflammatory process and IR. The present study will be divided in two clinical essays. The aim of the first study is to verify the acute response of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines to a moderate and to a vigorous intensity exercise session. The aim of the second study is to verify the chronic effects of an endurance training program on insulin sensitivity and on the pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine response. Female SLE patients from the Rheumatology Ambulatory of HC-FMUSP will be studied. In the acute study, 15 patients with SLE in activity (LESATIV), 15 patients with SLE out of activity (LESINATIV) and 15 healthy control subjects (CS1) will participate. All of the groups will be submitted to two endurance exercise sessions (moderate and vigorous intensity) to verify the pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine response, which will be assessed at rest, at peak exercise, every 30 min until 3 hours and 24 hours after the exercise cessation. In the chronic study, 30 SLE patients and 15 healthy control subjects (CS2) will participate. SLE patients will be randomized in two groups: trained (LT) and non-trained (LS). At baseline (PRE) and 12 weeks after the training (POS), LT and LS will be assessed for insulin sensitivity, disease activity and quality of life, physical capacity, dietary intake, body composition, leptin, adiponectin, resistin, visfatin and cytokine blood level, and protein expression of insulin signaling cascade members, and GLUT-4 translocation. Healthy control subjects will be matched for age and BMI and will be assessed at baseline only. (AU)
