ABSTRACT
Studies have shown that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) can be modulated by physical exercise. However, the impact of resistance exercise has never been investigated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of resistance exercise programs on the expression of transcription factors Nrf2 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in CKD patients on hemodialysis (HD). Patients on an HD program were randomly assigned to an exercise group of 25 patients (54.5% women, aged 45.7±15.2years and time on dialysis=71.2±45.5months) or a control group of 19 patients who had no exercise intervention (61.5% women, aged 42.5±13.5years and time on dialysis=70.1±49.9months). A strength exercise program was performed 3 times a week during the HD sessions. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and processed for the expression of Nrf2 and NF-κB by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction 3months before and after the exercise program. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) as well as the products of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and nitric oxide (NO) were assessed. Nrf2 expression (ranging from 0.86±0.4 to 1.76±0.8) and GPx activity were significantly increased after exercise intervention. In the exercise group, no difference in the levels of NO was observed; however, there was a significant reduction in the control group. In conclusion, these data suggest that resistance exercises seem to be capable of inducing Nrf2 activation in CKD patients on HD.
