Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of both a short (12 weeks) and a long-term (24 weeks) endurance treadmill-training programme on the levels of oxidative stress markers, the activity of the enzymatic antioxidants, and the content of the 72 kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) in rat myocardium. Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to exercise trained (n = 16) and sedentary (n = 14) groups. After 12 week of training, eight rats were killed while the remaining eight continued the training programme until 24 week. Results: Seven sedentary controls were killed together with each trained group. Levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonyls, and total and oxidized glutathione (tGSH and GSSG) in myocardial homogenates were unchanged by training irrespective of the protocol duration. However, an increased content of the oxidative stress biomarkers was detected in hearts from both the 24-week trained rats and their sedentary controls when compared with their corresponding 12-week groups. The antioxidant enzymatic activities total and mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (tSOD and mtSOD, respectively), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione reductase (GR), remained unchanged after the 12-week training period whereas a significant increase in tSOD and mtSOD activities (18%, P < 0.05) was observed in heart homogenates of 24-week trained animals as compared with their sedentary controls. HSP72 expression levels were not significantly modified after 12 week of training but a threefold increase was detected after 24 week (P < 0.05). Conclusion: These results demonstrate that a long-term endurance training (24 weeks) induced discrete increases in antioxidant enzyme activities in rat myocardium and elicited a marked enhancement in HSP72 expression levels. However, a shorter training programme (12 weeks), was not effective in increasing heart antioxidant defences.
