Aim The present study aimed to examine the effects of melatonin supplementation on lipid peroxidation in the bone tissue of diabetic rats subjected to acute swimming exercise. Methods The study was conducted on 80 Sprague-Dawley type adult male rats which were equally allocated to eight groups: group 1, general control; group 2, melatonin-supplemented control; group 3, melatonin-supplemented diabetic control; group 4, swimming control; group 5, melatonin-supplemented swimming; group 6, melatonin-supplemented diabetic swimming; group 7, diabetic swimming; group 8, diabetic control. In order to induce diabetes, the animals were subcutaneously injected with 40 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ). The animals were supplemented with 3 mg/kg/day melatonin intraperitoneally (IP) for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, the animals were decapitated to collect bone tissue samples which were examined to find out the malondialdehyde (MDA) (nmol/g/protein) and glutathione (GSH) (mg/dL/g protein) levels. Results The highest MDA values in the bone tissue were found in groups 7 and 8. MDA levels in the bone tissue in groups 3 and 6 were lower than the levels in groups 7 and 8, but higher than those in all other groups. Groups 3, 5 and 6 had the highest bone tissue GSH values. On the other hand, the lowest GSH level was established in groups 7 and 8. Conclusion The results of the present study indicated that the cell damage caused by acute swimming exercise and diabetes in the bone tissue could be prevented by melatonin supplementation.
