Experimental design. 36 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided to two main groups: (1) Healthy rats that received a normal diet (ND; n = 18) (control (ND-C), resistance exercise training (ND-RET), and aerobic exercise training (ND-AET)) (2) Low-dose STZ-induced diabetic rats that received a high-fat diet (HFD + STZ; n = 18) (control (HFD + STZ-C), resistance exercise training (HFD + STZ-RET), and aerobic exercise training (HFD + STZ-AET)). For accurate monitoring, samplings were performed in various stages (beginning, after 4 weeks of HFD, after STZ injection, after exercise training, and after de-training)
