Exercise training improves aging-induced decrease of fatty acid (FA) metabolic capacity in the heart. However, the mechanisms for improving FA metabolic capacity in the heart by exercise training are unclear. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-{alpha}, a transcriptional activator, regulates many genes of FA metabolic enzymes. We hypothesized that PPAR-{alpha} contributes to exercise training-induced improvement of FA metabolic capacity in the aged heart. To investigate whether PPAR-{alpha} and its target genes in the aged heart are affected by exercise training, we used hearts of sedentary young rat (Sedentary-young group; 4 months old), sedentary aged rat (Sedentary-aged group; 23 months old), and swim-trained aged rat (Trained-aged group; 23 months old, swimming training for 8 weeks). The mRNA and protein expression of PPAR-{alpha} in the heart was significantly lower in the Sedentary-aged group compared with the Sedentary-young group, and was significantly higher in the Trained-aged group compared with the Sedentary-aged group. The activity of PPAR-{alpha} DNA binding to the transcriptional regulating region on the FA metabolic enzyme genes in heart and the mRNA expression of 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase-I, which are PPAR-{alpha} target genes, in heart was significantly lower in the Sedentary-aged group compared with the Sedentary-young group, and was significantly higher in the Trained-aged group compared with the Sedentary-aged group. Furthermore, the enzyme activity of HAD in heart was significantly lower in the Sedentary-aged group compared with the Sedentary-young group, and was significantly higher in the Trained-aged group compared with the Sedentary-aged group. These findings suggest that exercise training improves aging-induced decreases in myocardial PPAR-{alpha} mRNA and protein expressions, PPAR-{alpha} DNA binding activity, and its target gene expression in the heart. Consequently myocardial FA metabolic enzyme activity was improved in the Trained-aged hearts. Therefore, it is considered that the regulatory system of myocardial PPAR-{alpha} participates in a mechanism of adaptations of FA metabolic capacity in the heart for aging and subsequent exercise training.
