Abstract

Physical inactivity and diets rich in lipids and sugar are behaviors related to development of obesity and its co-morbidities. High glucose and triglycerides concentration in blood, lead to oxidative stress in vascular bed. This issue might be the link between obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Studies had shown benefits of exercise training regarding to improvements in cardiovascular hemodynamic, such as decrease in peripheral vascular resistance associated to nitric oxide production or bioavailability. None studies were carried out to evaluate taurine supplementation effects on vascular reactivity and pro- and anti-oxidant systems in obese Wistar rats. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate taurine supplementation, together or not with exercise training, on vascular reactivity of high caloric-fed rats. Relaxation and contractile responses as well local and systemic oxidative stress biomarkers will be investigate in obese animals, trained or not. The hypothesis is that taurine has a therapeutic effect against obesity disorders and supplementation together physical exercise might reveal an additionally effect. (AU)
