Resumo

The high-fat diet (HFD) promotes obesity and develops inflammation, causing dysregulation of energy meta-bolism and prostatic neoplastic tissue changes. PPARa deletion leads to loss of homeostasis between the pro and anti-inflammatory response, and dysregulation of lipid metabolism, causing changes in different physiological processes and damage to the prostate. On the other hand, aerobic physical exercise has been suggested as a non-pharmacological tool to improve energy metabolism and cellular metabolism in the prostate, however, the un-derlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. the current study aimed to evaluate PPAR alpha as a possible regulator of the protective effects of aerobic physical exercise in the prostate by examining prostatic alterations in wild-type and PPAR alpha deletion mice fed a standard diet or an HFD. Wild-type and PPAR alpha-null mice were fed a standard or HFD diet for 12 weeks, and submitted to aerobic physical exercise for 8 weeks. The HFD promoted the increase of inflammatory markers IL-6, TNF-alpha, NF-kB, and an increase of inflammatory foci in animals in both genotypes. Although the PPAR alpha deletion animals submitted to the aerobic physical exercise were not able to regulate response pro-inflammatory, but promoted an increase in IL-10 in the prostate. In animals WT, the aerobic physical exercise, reduced all inflammatory markers, improve the inflammatory response, and showed a higher expression of BAX and IL-10 proteins was protective against prostatic tissue lesions. Suggested that PPAR alpha deletion associated with HFD suppressed apoptosis and increased damage prostate. On other hand, aerobic physical exercise improves prostatic tissue by increasing the response to anti-inflammatory and apoptosis protein. (AU)
