| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mice with metabolic syndrome were developed by feeding of high caloric diet . The mice were divided into control and exercise group. The exercise was performed for 12 weeks. Percentage of body fat, tolerance for insulin, oral glucose tolerance test were examined. Percentage of body fat was evaluated by computed tomography and spectrum of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIS). Glucose assay were performed. Immunohistochemical expression of PPAR-g and leptin receptor were evaluated in liver and pancreas. Percentage of body fat and tolerance for insulin were better in the groups with exercise. Expression of PPAR-g in the vessel walls within pancreas, and leptin receptor in the liver increased in the groups with exercise, and these might be related with better outcome of lipid metabolism. Percentage body fat calculated from NIS were strongly correlated with the value measured in CT.
