Mild Exercise Does Not Prevent Atherosclerosis in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP Mice or Improve Lipoprotein Profile of Men with Obesity.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Exercise has been shown to improve cardiometabolic health, yet neither the molecular connection nor the effects of exercise timing have been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ad libitum or time-restricted mild exercise reduces atherosclerosis development in atherosclerosis-prone dyslipidemic APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice and whether mild exercise training in men with obesity affects lipoprotein levels. METHODS:Mice were group-housed and subjected to ad libitum or time-restricted (first or last 6 hours of the active phase) voluntary wheel running for 16 weeks while on a cholesterol-rich diet, after which atherosclerosis development was assessed in the aortic root. Furthermore, nine men with obesity followed a 12-week mild exercise training program. Lipoprotein levels were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in plasma collected pre and post exercise training. RESULTS:Wheel running did not affect plasma lipid levels, uptake of triglyceride-derived fatty acids by tissues, and aortic atherosclerotic lesion size or severity. Markers of training status were unaltered. Exercise training in men with obesity did not alter lipoprotein levels. CONCLUSIONS:Mild exercise training does not reduce dyslipidemia or atherosclerosis development in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice or affect lipoprotein levels in humans. Future research on the effects of (time-restricted) exercise on atherosclerosis or lipid metabolism should consider more vigorous exercise protocols.

Project description:Background Exercise is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are thought to contribute to these benefits, but much of the research in this area has been limited by lack of well-controlled subject selection and exercise interventions. We sought to study the effect of moderate and high-intensity exercise on HDL function, lipid/lipoprotein profile, and other cardiometabolic parameters in a homogeneous population where exercise, daily routine, sleep patterns, and living conditions were carefully controlled. Methods and Results Male Army recruits (n=115, age 22±0.3 years) completed a 12-week moderate-intensity exercise program. A subset of 51 subsequently completed a 15-week high-intensity exercise program. Fitness increased and body fat decreased after moderate- and high-intensity exercise (P<0.001). Moderate-intensity exercise increased HDL-C and apolipoprotein A-I levels (6.6%, 11.6% respectively), and decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels (7.2%, 4.9% respectively) (all P<0.01). HDL-C and apolipoprotein A-I levels further increased by 8.2% (P<0.001) and 6.3% (P<0.05) after high-intensity exercise. Moderate-intensity exercise increased ABCA-1 (ATP-binding cassette transporter A1) mediated cholesterol efflux by 13.5% (P<0.001), which was sustained after high-intensity exercise. In a selected subset the ability of HDLs to inhibit ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule-1) expression decreased after the high (P<0.001) but not the moderate-intensity exercise program. Conclusions When controlling for exercise patterns, diet, and sleep, moderate-intensity exercise improved HDL function, lipid/lipoprotein profile, fitness, and body composition. A sequential moderate followed by high-intensity exercise program showed sustained or incremental benefits in these parameters. Improved HDL function may be part of the mechanism by which exercise reduces cardiovascular disease risk.

Project description:Atherosclerosis is the preliminary cause of coronary artery disease, one of the diseases that ac-count for the largest number of fatal mortalities. Physical activity is an effective strategy to restrain atherosclerosis from deterioration. Evidence indicated that the changes of proteomic profile is highly associated with the atherosclerosis development, but the mechanism behind the exercise for atherosclerosis amelioration has not yet been investigated from the proteomics perspective. Hence, the proteomic profiles could further elucidate the systematic effects of exercise interven-tion on ApoE knockout atherosclerotic model and high fat diet intervention. In current study, Apoeem1Narl/Narl mice were randomly allocated into a normal diet (ND), western diet (WD) and WD with 12 weeks exercise intervention (WD EX) groups. The plasm proteome between WD and WD EX demonstrate the significant difference, and ten major pathways, including cardiovascular disease (CVD)–hematological disease, cellular compromise–inflammatory response, protein synthesis, connective tissue disorders, cellular movement–immune cell tracking, inflammatory response, etc., were generated by the IPA analysis. The fourteen proteins (PROS, PROZ, C2, F5, C5, SERPINA 10, FGB, FGG, CFB, F12, CRP, CFHR1, HABP2, and PPIA) critically involved in CVD–hematological disease pathway showed significant difference among groups. The PROS, F5, C5, FGG, and CFB levels associated with thrombosis and atherosclerosis induced by WD were significantly decreased by exercise intervention in WD EX. Furthermore, the F5 and FGG were well-demonstrated the important roles for thrombosis of atherosclerotic pathogenesis but the complement factor C5 in the development of atherosclerosis is not fully understood. In current study, the exercise could significantly alleviate the significantly elevated C5 and inflammation induced by WD group in accordance to amelioration of atherosclerosis. Therefore, exercise could mitigate chemotaxis through the modulation of the C5 level and innate immunity, thereby alle-viating the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in western-diet induced obese mice.

Project description:BackgroundCombined glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonism is superior to single GLP1R agonism with respect to glycemic control and weight loss in obese patients with or without type 2 diabetes. As insulin resistance and obesity are strong risk factors for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), in the current study we investigated the effects of combined GIPR/GLP1R agonism on NAFLD development.MethodsMale APOE∗3-Leiden.CETP mice, a humanized model for diabetic dyslipidemia and NAFLD when fed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet, received subcutaneous injections with either vehicle, a GIPR agonist, a GLP1R agonist, or both agonists combined every other day.FindingsGIPR and GLP1R agonism reduced body weight and additively lowered fasting plasma levels of glucose, triglycerides and total cholesterol. Strikingly, we report an additive reduction in hepatic steatosis as evidenced by lower hepatic lipid content and NAFLD scores. Underlying the lipid-lowering effects were a reduced food intake and intestinal lipid absorption and an increased uptake of glucose and triglyceride-derived fatty acids by energy-combusting brown adipose tissue. Combined GIPR/GLP1R agonism also attenuated hepatic inflammation as evidenced by a decreased number of monocyte-derived Kupffer cells and a reduced expression of inflammatory markers. Together, the reduced hepatic steatosis and inflammation coincided with lowered markers of liver injury.InterpretationWe interpretate that GIPR and GLP1R agonism additively attenuate hepatic steatosis, lower hepatic inflammation, ameliorate liver injury, together preventing NAFLD development in humanized APOE∗3-Leiden.CETP mice. We anticipate that combined GIPR/GLP1R agonism is a promising strategy to attenuate NAFLD progression in humans.FundingThis work was supported by a grant from the Netherlands CardioVascular Research Initiative: the Dutch Heart Foundation, Dutch Federation of University Medical Centers, the Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development, and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences [CVON-GENIUS-II] to P.C.N.R., a Lilly Research Award Program [LRAP] Award to P.C.N.R. and S.K., a Dutch Heart Foundation [2017T016] grant to S.K., and an NWO-VENI grant [09150161910073] to M.R.B.; J.F.D.B. is supported by the Nutrition and Health initiative of the University of Groningen; Z.Y. is supported by a full-time PhD scholarship from the China Scholarship Council (201806850094 to Z.Y.).
