ABSTRACT
Menopause is a major factor involved in dyslipidemia increasing the risk of atherosclerosis which may be reversed by a routine of aerobic physical activity. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the effects of aerobic training on the thoracic aorta of female LDL-receptor knockout mice submitted to estrogen deprivation. Fifteen genetically modified female mice, knockout for the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-Knockout group) were used as experimental groups and fifteen wild female mice (C57BL/6 J) were used as control groups. Animals were divided as (n = 5/per group) sedentary control (SC); sedentary control ovariectomized (SCO); trained control ovariectomized (TCO); LDL-Knockout sedentary (KS); LDL-Knockout sedentary ovariectomized (KOS); and LDL-Knockout trained ovariectomized (KOT). Immunohistochemical techniques for TIMP-1 and metalloproteinases 2 and 9 were used to evaluate thoracic aorta remodeling. Picrosirius stain was used to highlight the collagen fibers. Verhoff-Van Gienson was used for the quantitative analyses of elastic lamellae. Our results demonstrate a positive remodeling promoted by physical exercise in ovariectomized and dyslipidemic animals. However, further studies are needed including the evaluation of inflammatory markers present in dyslipidemia.
