The effect of exercise on the morphology of the myocardial and skeletal muscle, total lipid content and lipid fatty acid composition was checked in rats fed a rapeseed oil-containing diet. The graded exercise was found to reduce the growth rate of animals. Myocardial fatty degeneration was less intense and erucic acid content lower in trained rats fed a diet with 50% kcal of rapessed oil than the untrained ones. The opposite was true when rapeseed oil supplied 30% of calories. Histiocytic granulomata were more numerous in trained rats. Exercise failed to affect the accumulation of erucic acid in skeletal muscle.

Effect of exercise on the content of lipids, cholesterol and on the composition of fatty acids in the adrenals of rats receiving rapeseed oil in diet.

The effect of different levels of high-erucic acid rapeseed oil in diet and exposure to graded exercise on the contents of total lipids and total cholesterol, and the composition of fatty acids, in total lipids and cholesterol ester fractions in the adrenals of Wistar rats was investigated. Presence of erucic acid in the diet produced greater changes in the characteristic composition of fatty acids in the fraction of cholesterol esters than in the total lipids in the adrenals. The intensity of changes in the composition of fatty acids was greater with higher amounts of rapeseed oil in the diet and longer administration of the diet. Exercise decreased the changes in fatty acid composition in the fraction of cholesterol esters in rats receiving 50% of calories from rapeseed oil. In the group receiving 30% of calories from rapeseed oil the trained rats accumulated more rapidly cholesterol in the adrenals than the untrained rats. Exercise load had no effect on the total lipid level in the adrenals.
