Nascimento RL, Moreira SR, Carneiro MVO, Numata Filho ES, Oliveira RA, Lirani LS. Effect of Resistance Training and Red Wine Intake on Lipid Profile in Mice. JEPonline 2018;21(1):112-121. It is believed that resistance training and moderate intake of red wine are associated with improvement of health. The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of resistance training and red wine intake on the lipid and glycemic profile in rats divided into the control group (CG, n = 20), wine group (WG, n = 20), exercise group (EG, n = 20), and the wine and exercise group (WEG, n = 20). The rats trained for 8 wks on a vertical ladder at an 80[degrees] slope 3 times x [wk.sup.-1]. The ingestion of wine occurred every day. Body mass of the groups increased significantly at week 8 vs. week 1 (P<0.05). The findings indicate that LDL was decreased in the WEG compared to the EG (P<0.05), HDL was increased in the EG and the WEG compared to the CG (P<0.01), total cholesterol increased in the EG relative to the CG, WG, and the WEG (P<0.05), triglyceride was decreased in the WEG at (P<0.01, week 4 and P<0.05 week 8), and glycemia was decreased in the WEG relative to the CG (P<0.05). Resistance training and red wine consumption may help reduce the risk of heart disease by improving lipid profile. Key Words: Lipids, Muscle Mass, Obesity, Resistance Training
