In this study, we evaluated the effect of long-term exercise in reversing the effects of an obesogenic environment on pathogenic fat accumulation and insulin sensitivity in high fat diet fed rats. Bias-corrected effect size (Hedge’s g, 95% CI), of IHL, IMCL, triglycerides, cholesterol, leptin and Matsuda Index after 12 weeks intervention was determined between high fat diet (HFD), Control, HFD + Exercise groups. The long term exercise intervention improved the insulin sensitivity in high fat diet fed rats by reducing all fat depots, triglycerides, and leptin.
