RESUMO

Regular exercise prevents the development of atherosclerosis. We analyzed the role of a six-week aerobic exercise training program in the macrophage reverse cholesterol transport in wild-type (WT) and in human CETP transgenic (CETP-tg) mice. Animals were randomly assigned to sedentary and trained groups (treadmill 15 m/min, 30-min sessions, 5 sessions per week). Plasma lipids were not modified after training, although HDL-cholesterol concentrations levels increased in trained CETP-tg mice only. Plasma CETP activity was not modified after training. A greater recovery of 3H-cholesterol from J774 macrophages injected into peritoneal cavities of mice was found in plasma and in the liver from exercised WT and CETP animals in comparison to sedentary groups. Exercise training induced a greater excretion of 3H-cholesterol in feces only in the CETP-tg mice. The SR-BI expression in the liver was increased and unchanged in trained WT and CETP-tg mice, respectively. The liver expression of LDL receptor was higher in both groups after training. Alternatively, liver X receptor (LXR) increased only in trained WT mice. Aerobic exercise training improves the macrophage RCT in mice, thereby contributing to the prevention and regression of atherosclerosis. The benefit of exercise on the cholesterol excretion in feces in mice was attained only in the presence of CETP, which elucidates the importance of exercise in the prevention of atherosclerosis in humans.
