Abstract
Sodium-dependent ascorbate transporter 2 (SVCT2) plays a key role in the
transmission of ascorbic acid to hepatocytes. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of aerobic
training on hepatic SVCT2 levels, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) in diabetic rats.
Materials & Methods: In this interventional and experimental study, 25 maleWistar rats were randomly
divided into 5 groups: 1) healthy control, 2) healthy training, 3) diabetes control, 4) diabetes training,
and 5) sham. After Induction of diabetes, training program consisted of 6 weeks of running on the
treadmill, 5 sessions per week (for 20-40 minutes). Serum and liver tissues were evaluated to investigate
the effect of exercise training on ascorbic acid metabolism.
Results: Induction of diabetes significantly decreased serum and hepatic ascorbic acid levels and
significantly increased hepatic SVCT2 protein, ALT and AST serum levels (p <0.001). The results also
showed that regular aerobic exercise decreased serum glucose levels, serum levels of ALT and AST but
had no significant effect on serum hepatic and ascorbic acid levels and hepatic SVCT2.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, induction of diabetes reduces hepatic ascorbic acid
levels, which seems to be associated with hyperglycemia and liver injury. On the other hand, six weeks
of aerobic exercise reduced blood glucose and liver transaminases, but had no significant effect on level
of serum, hepatic ascorbic acid, and hepatic SVCT2 levels.
