The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of lifetime increase of circulating levels of Ang‑(1‑7) at exhaustive swimming exercise (ESE). Sprague‑Dawley (SD) and transgenic rats TGR(A1‑7)3292 (TR) which overproduce Ang‑(1‑7) (2.5‑fold increase) were submitted to ESE. The data showed no differences in time to exhaustion (SD: 4.90 ± 1.37 h vs. TR: 5.15 ± 1.15 h), creatine kinase, and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). Lactate dehydrogenase (SD: 219.9 ± 12.04 U/L vs. TR: 143.9 ± 35.21 U/L) and α‑actinin (SD: 336.7 ± 104.5 U/L vs. TR: 224.6 ± 82.45 U/L) values were significantly lower in TR. There was a significant decrease in the range of blood glucose levels (SD: −41.4 ± 28.32 mg/dl vs. TR: −13.08 ± 39.63 mg/dl) in SD rats. Muscle (SD: 0.06 ± 0.02 mg/g vs. TR: 0.13 ± 0.01 mg/g) and hepatic glycogen (SD: 0.66 ± 0.36 mg/g vs. TG: 2.24 ± 1.85 mg/g) in TR were higher. The TR presented attenuation of the increase in skeletal muscle damage biomarkers and of the changes in glucose metabolism after ESE.en-USabertoGlucose metabolismLifetime overproduction of circulating angiotensin‑(1‑7) in rats attenuates the increase in skeletal muscle damage biomarkers after exhaustive exercise.Artigo publicado em periodicoThis is an open access journal, and articles are distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution‑NonCommercial‑ShareAlike 4.0 License, which allows others to remix, tweak, and build upon the work non‑commercially, as long as appropriate credit is given and the new creations are licensed under the identical terms.
