Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how a pine needle powder-added diet and swimming exercise influence blood profile and inflammatory cytokine in a high cholesterol diet. 42 male Sprague-Dawley rats were made to practice a pine needle powder-added diet and swimming exercise along with a high cholesterol diet for six weeks. Concerning the results of blood lipids, the TG content was significantly low in the HCPNE, and LDL-C was significantly high in the EX compared with the CON and EX and HDL-C was s tatistically s ignificantly high in the EX. According to the results of TNF-α concentration in the change of inflammatory cytokine, the HC, HCE, and HCPN indicated significantly higher concentration than the CON and EX, and according to the results of NFκB concentration, no significant difference was found. According to the results of IL-6 concentration, compared with the CON, the EX and HCPNE were found to be significantly low. herefore, according to the results of this study, the exercise and pine needle powder-added diet activated AMPK and the acceleration of blood profile as the result of the, and this led to the decrease of fat synthesis. Moreover, regarding the results of pine needle powder intake in the diet, pharmacological compounds contained in pine needles such as phenols and flavonoids are thought to influence blood profile, anti-inflammatory positively.
