Diabetic cardiomyopathy is associated with cardiac muscle remodeling, resulting in
myocardial dysfunction, whereas exercise training (ET) is a useful nonpharmacological
strategy for the therapy of cardiac diseases. This study tested the effects of low-intensity
swimming-training on the structural remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) in growing rats with
unmanaged experimental diabetes. Thirty-day-old male Wistar rats were divided into four
groups (n= 5/group): sedentary-control (SC), exercised-control (EC), sedentary-diabetic …
