Abstract Background To evaluate the effects of 8 weeks of Aerobic Physical Training (AET) on the mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative balance in the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) of leptin deficiency-induced obese mice (ob/ob mice). Methods Then, the mice were submitted to an 8-week protocol of aerobic physical training (AET) at moderate intensity (60% of the maximum running speed). In the oxidative stress, we analyzed Malonaldehyde (MDA) and Carbonyls, the enzymatic activity of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione S Transferase (GST), non-enzymatic antioxidant system: reduced glutathione (GSH), and Total thiols. Additionally, we evaluated the gene expression of PGC-1α SIRT-1, and ATP5A related to mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Results In our study, we did not observe a significant difference in MDA ( p = 0.2855), Carbonyl’s ( p = 0.2246), SOD ( p = 0.1595), and CAT ( p = 0.6882) activity. However, the activity of GST ( p = 0.04), the levels of GSH ( p = 0.001), and Thiols ( p = 0.02) were increased after 8 weeks of AET. Additionally, there were high levels of PGC-1α ( p = 0.01), SIRT-1 ( p = 0.009), and ATP5A ( p = 0.01) gene expression after AET in comparison with the sedentary group. Conclusions AET for eight weeks can improve antioxidant defense and increase the expression of PGC-1α, SIRT-1, and ATP5A in PFC of ob/ob mice.
