title: Heat shock protein 60 response to exercise in diabetes: effects of alpha-lipoic acid supplementation.
abstract: The pathophysiology of diabetes includes oxidative stress and impaired heat shock protein (HSP) expression. We studied the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) supplementation for 8 weeks and acute exercise on HSP60 expression and the oxidative stress marker 4-hydroxynonenal adducts (4-HNE) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic (SID) and nondiabetic control rats. Diabetes was associated with decreased HSP60 in the heart and increased levels of HSP60 and 4-HNE in the liver. LA increased HSP60 in the liver of control and diabetic rats and decreased 4-HNE in the liver and heart. Acute exercise increased liver 4-HNE, which was offset by LA. In conclusion, diabetes induced oxidative stress and impaired myocardial HSP60 expression, while LA partially offsets these alterations in a tissue-specific manner.
