At 100 days of life, biometric, metabolic and reproductive parameters were evaluated. At 70 days of life, animals started a low frequency moderate exercise training that lasted 30 days.

Control animals were fed a NF diet throughout life. Thirty-day-old male Wistar rats were fed a HF diet (35% lard w/w) for 30 days then subsequently fed a normal fat diet (NF) for a 40-day recovery period. The effect of physical training (Ex) in ameliorating this phenotype was also assessed. This study examined metabolic and reproductive function in obese rats programmed by exposure to a high fat (HF) diet during adolescence. 5School of Medicine, Deakin University, Waurn Ponds, VIC, AustraliaĪn interaction between obesity, impaired glucose metabolism and sperm function in adults has been observed but it is not known whether exposure to a diet high in fat during the peri-pubertal period can have longstanding programmed effects on reproductive function and gonadal structure.4Laboratory of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Physiological Sciences, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, Brazil.3Laboratory of Toxicology and Reproductive Metabolic Disorders, Department of General Biology, Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Londrina, Brazil.2Laboratory of Secretion Cell Biology, Department of Biotechnology, Genetics and Cell Biology, Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Maringá, Brazil.1Reproductive Biology Department, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, Mexico City, Mexico.Gomes 4, Renan de Oliveira Venci 2, Francielle R. da Silva Franco 2, Carina Previate 2, Rodrigo M. da Silva 2, Lucas Paulo Jacinto Saavedra 2, Gessica D.
