چکیده
مقدمه و هدف: استرس اکسیداتیو و التهاب عصبی از مکانیسم‌های کلیدی در پاتوفیزیولوژی بیماری صرع هستند. فعالیت ورزشی در کنترل و بهبود علائم صرع نقش دارد. این مطالعه با هدف بررسی اثر تمرینات تداومی با شدت متوسط (MICT) بر فعالیت آنزیم­های آنتی­اکسیدانی سوپراکسیددیسموتاز (SOD) وگلوتاتیون پراکسیداز (GPx)، سطوح پروتئین­های HMGB1 و IL-10 و شدت تشنج در هیپوکمپ رت­های مبتلا به صرع انجام شد.

روش: 32 سر رت نر ویستار (سن: 6 تا 8 هفته و میانگین وزن: ۲۲۶٫۶۲۵±۱۴٫۹۶۶) به گروه‌های صرع، کنترل، شم و صرع + MICT تقسیم شدند. پس از اتمام پروتکل هشت هفته­ای تمرین، فعالیت SOD و GPx با الایزا، سطوح HMGB1 و IL-10 در بافت هیپوکمپ با وسترن­بلات و شدت تشنج بر اساس مقیاس راسین اندازه گیری شد. داده­ها از طریق آزمون تحلیل واریانس یک­راهه و آزمون یومن­ویتنی در نرم­افزار SPSS تجزیه و تحلیل شدند.

یافته‌­ها: القای صرع منجر به کاهش فعالیت آنزیم‌های SOD (0.02p < ) و GPx (0.001p < ) ، افزایش پروتئینHMGB1 (0.001p < ) ، کاهش پروتئین IL-10(0.001p < ) و افزایش شدت تشنج شد. تمرین MICT موجب افزایش فعالیت آنزیم GPx (0.048p < ) و کاهش سطح HMGB1 (0.001p < ) در گروه تمرینی نسبت به گروه صرع شد. اگرچه فعالیت آنزیم SOD (0.953p < ) و سطح IL-10 (0.198p < ) تغییر معنا‌داری نیافت، اما شدت تشنج در گروه تحت تمرین به طور قابل توجهی کاهش یافت.

نتیجه‌گیری: به نظر می‌رسد تمرینات تداومی با شدت متوسط با تقویت سیستم آنتی‌اکسیدانی و کاهش التهاب عصبی، اثرات محافظتی خود را اعمال کرده و باعث کاهش شدت تشنج در رت­های مبتلا به صرع می­شود.

Abstract

Introduction: Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are key mechanisms in the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Physical activity plays a role in controlling and improving epileptic symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the effects of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on the activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), the levels of HMGB1 and IL-10 proteins, and seizure severity in the hippocampus of epileptic rats.

Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats (6–8 weeks old; mean body weight: 226.625 ± 14.966 g) were randomly assigned to four groups: epilepsy, control, sham, and epilepsy + MICT. After completion of the 8-week training protocol, SOD and GPx activities were measured by ELISA, hippocampal HMGB1 and IL-10 levels were assessed by Western blotting, and seizure severity was evaluated using the Racine scale. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Mann–Whitney U test in SPSS.

Results: Epilepsy induction led to decreased SOD (p < 0.02) and GPx (p < 0.001) activities, increased HMGB1 levels (p < 0.001), decreased IL-10 levels (p < 0.001), and increased seizure severity. MICT increased GPx activity (p < 0.048) and reduced HMGB1 levels (p < 0.001) in the training group compared with the epilepsy group. Although SOD activity (p = 0.953) and IL-10 levels (p = 0.198) did not change significantly, seizure severity was significantly reduced in the trained group.

Conclusion: Moderate-intensity continuous training appears to exert protective effects and reduce seizure severity in epileptic rats by strengthening the antioxidant defense system and attenuating neuroinflammation.
