| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study assessed the effects of chronic exercise on renal function and cystic formation in polycystic kidney disease(PKD) model. Six-week-old male polycystic kidney (PCK) rats were divided into the sedentary group and chronic exercise group (n=10 in each group). Chronic exercise underwent forced treadmill running for 12 weeks. Ex significantly reduced proteinuria and plasma creatinine, and it ameliorated glomerular sclerosis, podocyte injury and cyst formation and interstitial fibrosis not only in kidney but also in liver. These results indicate that chronic exercise ameliorates glomerular injury, cystic formation and fibrosis in the kidney and liver of PCK rats. Chronic exercise may be a new therapeutic approach for PKD.
