Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate the effects of endurance training and aqueous extract of fenugreek supplementation (AEFS) on plasma Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT) in diabetic male rats. Methods: 80 diabetic rats in standard conditions of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness divided to 8 groups: endurance training (ET), ET and 0٫87 g٫kg dose of fenugreek extract (ET-F1), ET and 1٫74 g٫kg of fenugreek extract (ET-F2), fenugreek dosage 0٫87 g٫kg (F1), fenugreek dosage 1٫74 g٫kg (F2), glibenclamide (G), glibenclamide and ET (ET-G) and diabetic control (CD) groups. All groups have same food and water Endurance exercises include swimming in the standard tank and 5 sessions (1h) per week for 8 weeks. Blood samples were taken from the animal's heart 48h after last training session and used for measuring SOD and CAT. Results: One way analysis of variance showed AEFS without exercise (F1) increased superoxide dismutase activity in diabetic rats compared with the control group (p=0.001), but the increase in CAT and SOD in diabetic rats when comparing 0٫87 g٫kg and 1٫74 g٫kg doses groups were not significant (p>0.05), but the combination of ET and AEFS caused a significant increase in CAT and SOD activities (p<0.05). Conclusion: The overall results of the present study showed that swim training and fenugreek supplementation in male diabetic rats improves antioxidant capacity separately, but if endurance training is concurrent with consumption of aqueous extract of fenugreek both of them will have synergistic effects and antioxidant system capacity improvement will be more evident.
