This study was peformed to investigate the effect of dietary iron and exercise on heme biosynthesis and lipid metabolism of rats. Rats were divided into 4 groups according to dietary iron supplement (Fe-, 5 ppm vs. Fe+, 50 ppm) and exercise status (control vs exercise). The experiment continued for 8 weeks. Regular treadmill exercise (6°, 28 m/min, 30 min duration, 5 days/week) was given to exercise groups. The aminolevulinate dehydrase activity of red blood cell, the marker of heme biosynthesis, was significantly increased in the exercise group.
