Abstract

Background: Myocardial infarction is the irreversible cell death of a part of cardiac muscle as a result of a cut in blood flow. Atrial and ventricular natriuretic peptides  (ANP & BNP) are strong indicators of myocardial infarction.This study aimed to evaluate the effect of six weeks intensive periodic training on the NT-pro BNP, BNP and ANP in rats after myocardial infarction.

Methods: Twelve Wistar male rats of 10 weeks old and mean weight 250-300gr were allocated in two groups with six rats in each group of experimental (60 minutes interval running on a treadmill, each cycle including four minutes of running with an intensity of 80-95% VO2max and two minutes of active recovery with a 45-50% VO2max intensity, three days a week for six weeks) and control group (without any precedent of training). Real-time PCR was used to assess the expression of NT-pro BNP, BNP and ANP genes after inducing MI (by blocking left coronary artery by surgery). Data were analyzed using independent t-test and  SPSS 18  (α≤0.05).

Findings: The findings showed that there was significant decrease in the NT-pro BNP (p=0.001) and asignificant decrease in BNP and ANP respectively (P=0.067 and P0.475) after six weeks of intensive periodic training group compared to the control group.  

Conclusion: In general, adaptation to intensive periodictraining was able to control and moderate the secretion of NT-proBNP and reduce BNP and ANP hormone secretion.
