Swimming Exercise Alleviated Insulin Resistance by Regulating Tripartite Motif Family Protein 72 Expression and AKT Signal Pathway in Sprague-Dawley Rats Fed with High-Fat Diet

Figure 2

Blood glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance index in the three groups. (a) The fasting blood glucose in three groups at the 8th week. There were no significant differences in the fasting blood glucose measured after 8-week swimming exercise intervention compared with the untreated high-fat-diet group. (b) The fasting blood insulin in three groups at the 8th week. There was significant decrease in the fasting blood insulin that was measured after 8-week swimming exercise intervention compared with the untreated high-fat-diet group. (c) The GIR of three groups. The GIR is commonly used in evaluating insulin resistance. After training with swimming exercise, GIR in group Ex-HFD was significantly increased. (d) HOMA-IR value of three groups at the 8th week, which was also selected to evaluate insulin resistance. After training with swimming exercise, HOMA-IR was improved. , versus CON group; , versus group HFD group.
