Moreover, it affects the synthesis of inflammatory proteins, promoting a picture of lowintensity<br />
inflammation. Despite this evidence, little attention is given for investigation<br />
of strategies that may attenuate this situation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to<br />
analyze the effect of caloric restriction on the fat depots and inflammatory proteins in<br />
detrained rats.<br />
METhOds: Twelve (12) male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups<br />
(n = 4) after 8 weeks of training on a treadmill. One group (TRAIN) consisted of<br />
animals that continued training for 6 more weeks with access to food ad libitum. The<br />
other two groups discontinued training and had either access to food ad libitum (DT)<br />
or 30% caloric restriction (DTRC) for the next 6 weeks. The animals were euthanized<br />
and blood was collected for adipocytokine measurements (leptin, adiponectin, PAI-1<br />
and MCP-1). Retroperitoneal (RET), epididymal (EPI) and subcutaneous (SUB) fat<br />
pads were excised and weighed on an analytical scale. Adipocytokines were measured<br />
using Lincoplex 200. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA was used followed by<br />
Scheffe post-hoc test, considering P
