Resumo

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of an acute aerobic exercise on arterial pressure (AP), heart rate (HR) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into: control (n=8) and diabetic (n=8) groups. AP, HR and BRS, which was measured by tachycardic and bradycardic (BR) responses to AP changes, were evaluated at rest (R) and postexercise session (PE) on a treadmill. At rest, STZ diabetes induced AP and HR reductions, associated with BR impairment. Attenuation in resting diabetes-induced AP (R: 103±2 vs. PE: 111±3 mmHg) and HR (R: 290±7 vs. PE: 328±10 bpm) reductions and BR dysfunction (R: -0.70±0.06 vs. PE: -1.21±0.09 bpm/mmHg) were observed in the postexercise period. In conclusion, the hemodynamic and arterial baro-mediated control of circulation improvement in the postexercise period reinforces the role of exercise in the management of cardiovascular risk in diabetes.
