Physical exercise exerts beneficial effects on the spatial learning and memory. Highintensity interval exercise (HIIE) has been proposed as a time-efficient physical exercise
regimen. On the other hand, there were evidences that HIIE increased oxidative stress
biomarkers and reduced antioxidant capacity, which resulted in oxidative damage. The
present study aimed to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval exercise and
moderate-intensity interval exercise on oxidative stress biomarkers and oxidative enzymes
activity in the hippocampus and the spatial memory of ovariectomized rats. A total of 16
female Sprague Dawley rats aged 12 weeks were randomly assigned into 4 groups, i.e.
the sham-operated (SO), ovariectomized without exercise (O), ovariectomized with highintensity interval exercise (HIIE), and ovariectomized with moderate-intensity interval
exercise (MIIE) groups. Rats of the exercise groups (HIIE & MIIE groups) performed
6 sessions of interval exercise per week for 6 weeks. The spatial memory of rats was
measured using the Morris water maze procedure. The malondialdehyde (MDA) levels
and activity of catalase (Cat) as well as glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in hippocampus
were determined using spectrophotometry method. The spatial learning and memory
retention of the moderate-intensity interval exercise group was significantly better than
that of the high-intensity interval exercise group. The GPx activity of MIIE group was
higher than any other groups. The SO group had the lowest hippocampal MDA level
and highest Cat activity among groups. Moderate-intensity interval exercise reduces the
ovariectomy induced-oxidative stress in the hippocampus and improves spatial learning
and memory retention of ovariectomized rats.
