| Abstract | Type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) causes impairments within the skeletal muscle microvasculature. Both regular exercise and prazosin have been shown to improve skeletal muscle capillarization and metabolism in healthy rats, through distinct angiogenic mechanisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the independent and additive effects of voluntary exercise and prazosin treatment on capillary-to-fiber ratio (C:F) in streptozotocin (STZ)-treated diabetic rats. STZ (65mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=36) to induce diabetes, with healthy, non-diabetic, sedentary rats (n=10) as controls. The STZ-treated rats were then divided into sedentary (SED) or exercising (EX, 24h access to running wheels) groups and then further subdivided into prazosin (Praz) or water (H O) treatment groups: non-diabetic-SED-H O, STZ-SED-H O, STZ-EX-H O, STZ-SED-Praz, and STZ-EX-Praz. After 3 weeks, untreated diabetes significantly reduced the C:F in tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus muscles in the STZ-SED-H O animals (both P<0.05). Voluntary exercise and prazosin treatment independently resulted in a normalization of C:F within the TA (1.86±0.12 & 2.04±0.03 vs 1.71±0.09, P<0.05) and the soleus (2.36±0.07 & 2.68±0.14 vs 2.13±0.12, P<0.05). The combined STZ-EX-Praz group resulted in the highest C:F within the TA (2.26±0.07, P<0.05). Voluntary exercise volume was negatively correlated with fed blood glucose levels (r =-0.7015, P<0.01), and when combined with prazosin, caused further enhanced non-fasted glucose (P<0.01). Exercise and prazosin reduced circulating non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) more than either stimulus alone (P<0.05). These results suggest that the distinct stimulation of angiogenesis, with both regular exercise and prazosin treatment, causes a cooperative improvement in the microvascular complications associated with T1D. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
