Capsaicinoids improve consequences of physical activity.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of capsaicinoids (CAPs) on lipid metabolism, inflammation, antioxidant status and the changes in gene products involved in these metabolic functions in exercised rats. A total of 28 male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into four groups (n?=?7) (i) No exercise and no CAPs, (ii) No exercise?+?CAPs (iii) Regular exercise, (iv) Regular exercise?+?CAPs. Rats were administered as 0.2?mg capsaicinoids from 10?mg/kg BW/day Capsimax® daily for 8 weeks. A significant decrease in lactate and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and increase in activities of antioxidant enzymes were observed in the combination of regular exercise and CAPs group (P < 0.0001). Regular exercise?+?CAPs treated rats had greater nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) levels in muscle than regular exercise and no exercise rats (P < 0.001). Nevertheless, regular exercise?+?CAPs treated had lower nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) and IL-10 levels in muscle than regular exercise and control rats (P < 0.001). Muscle sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c), liver X receptors (LXR), ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) levels in the regular exercise?+?CAPs group were lower than all groups (P < 0.05). However, muscle PPAR-? level was higher in the regular exercise and CAPs alone than the no exercise rats. These results suggest CAPs with regular exercise may enhance lipid metabolism by regulation of gene products involved in lipid and antioxidant metabolism including SREBP-1c, PPAR-?, and Nrf2 pathways in rats.

Project description:Interventions: The intervention arm is named HoPS, an acronym of Home-based Physical Activity for Survivors. HoPS intervention programme aims to improve physical activity level among cancer survivors, in particular breast and colorectal cancer by employing Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) in the development of the programme. It combines of psychoeducation and social media approach to behavioural intervention. Participants of the HoPS will be provided with a non-tailored printed material and gradual tapering down of face-to-face group meetings to improve knowledge and skills of physical activity. While WhatsApp is used as a structured direct remote feedback strategy to allow for supervised home-based physical activity. 1. Face-to-face group meetings There will be 2 meet up sessions for all participants in the HoPS group. The sessions provide a standardized lectures deliver by the researcher using power point slides. The first session of lecture (1-hour duration) will cover the areas of a brief introduction of HoPS programme, physical activity knowledge and goal setting. The second session of lecture (15-minutes duration) will cover for barriers to physical activity and following that a sharing session (15-minutes duration) by a role model (a cancer survivor) to share her experience in engaging in physical activity. In each of the sessions, after the lectures, an exercise session will be conducted by a certified exercise instructor with at least 3 years experienced in coaching for exercise. The duration of this exercise session will be 2 hours and the focus is train the participants on how to perform a proper and correct exercise for cancer survivors. This will involved aerobic exercises and resistance exercis Primary outcome(s): Total MET-minutes/week using validated IPAQ [Baseline, at 8-week (immediately after intervention) and at 16-week post intervention] Study Design: Purpose: Educational / counselling / training; Allocation: Randomised controlled trial; Masking: Blinded (masking used);Assignment: Parallel;Type of endpoint: Efficacy
