Abstract
We examined the effects of the 12, 20 and 30 days running-training on adipose tissues and the lipid composition of cardiac and two skeletal muscles of rats.
Body weights of 12, 20 and 30 days trained groups were lower than their controls. The lipid contents of the subcutaneous fat tissue and the weight of perinephrial fat tissue were about 55% of their controls, while, epididymal fat tissue received no change by exercise. Development of the cardiac muscle, triceps brachii muscle and gastrocnemius muscle was accelerated by training. Although the total lipid content of muscles was depressed by 30 days training, phospholipid value remained constant and an increase of phospholipid/total lipid ration was observed by 30 days training.
