Summary: To determine the efficacy and potential protective mechanism of canagliflozin combined with aerobic exercise in treating chronic heart failure (CHF). Isoproterenol was injected into rats to create CHF models. The rats were then subsequently divided into saline, canagliflozin (3 mg/kg/d), aerobic exercise training, and canagliflozin combined with aerobic exercise training. Compared to the CHF group, the canagliflozin combined with the aerobic exercise group had superior ventricular remodeling and cardiac function. In rats treated with canagliflozin combined with aerobic exercise, the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4A3, CYP4A8, COL1A1, COL3A1, and FN1 was reduced, while the expression of CYP26B1, ALDH1A2, and CYP1A1 increased significantly. Additionally, canagliflozin combined with aerobic exercise decreased the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK1/2. Canagliflozin combined with aerobic exercise has a positive effect on the development of CHF via the regulation of retinol metabolism and the AKT/ERK signaling pathway.
