Key result
Moderate exercise prevents obesity and restores beta-cell and autonomic function in high-fat diet-fed rats.
Why the study?
Exercise training has been shown to counteract obesity and metabolic syndrome, but its effects on pancreatic beta-cell function and autonomic nervous system activity in high-fat diet-induced obesity were investigated.
Does moderate exercise training improve pancreatic beta-cell function and autonomic nervous system activity in high-fat diet-induced obese rats?
Does moderate exercise training improve pancreatic beta-cell function and autonomic nervous system activity in high-fat diet-induced obese rats?
Moderate exercise prevents obesity and liver steatosis and restores pancreatic beta-cell function and autonomic nervous system activity in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced obesity.

Hypothesis-generating in rodent obesity models; leaves open translation of beta-cell restoration to human metabolic disease.
Gomes et al. (2013) studied Obesity and metabolic syndrome. Moderate exercise training vs. Sedentary was evaluated on Pancreatic beta-cell function and autonomic nervous system activity. Moderate exercise training prevented obesity and liver steatosis, and restored pancreatic beta-cell function and autonomic nervous system activity in high-fat diet-fed rats.
