Age-induced apoptosis is believed to be caused by the imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and human body antioxidant defence. Regular aerobic treadmill-exercise has been suggested to enhance the antioxidant defence. This study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term treadmill exercise on age-related oxidative stress and the apoptosis of oligodendrocytes in the spinal cord of the rat. Sixty male rats were divided into six groups: three exercised groups, which underwent 6, 9 and 12 months of mild-to-moderate treadmill exercise and three non-exercised control groups. Spinal cord white or grey matter tissue sampling was done through mid-thoracic laminectomy. The malondialdehyde (MDA; indicator of oxidative stress) levels, the number of apoptotic oligodendrocytes and ultrastructural alterations were also evaluated. Our data showed that treadmill exercise resulted in decreased lipid peroxidation and the number of apoptotic oligodendrocytes in the spinal cord of rats, as compared to non-exercised animals. These results were confirmed by TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling) staining and electron microscope. This study suggests that the long-term treadmill exercise can affect oxidative stress and oligodendrocytes apoptosis in the spinal cord of aged rats and further studies are needed to validate these findings in humans.
