We investigated the interactive effects of exercise and turmeric extract on the regional bone mineral density of femur bone in rats exposed to lead acetate. Materials and Methods: In an experimental study, 50 rats were randomly assigned to groups Lead acetate, Exercise+lead, Turmeric Supplementation+lead , Exercise+Turmeric+Lead and control (Sham-operate) group. Rats received lead acetate (20 mg/kg) and/or turmeric extract (30 mg/kg), 3 days in a week for 8 weeks. Endurance exercise was performed 5 days a week, with progressive speed and time. The data of BMD and the other variables were analyzed by using SPSS software version 16 employing one-way ANOVA at P≤ 0.05 level. Results: MDA and TAC concentrations were significantly lower and higher in the exercise, turmeric and the exercise+turmeric groups, compared with lead group, respectively. In addition, endurance exercise and/or training+turmeric not only led to decrease in lead-induced BMD levels, but also resulted in a significant increase in BMD levels, in particular, femur and distal epiphysis regions compared with lead and sham groups. Conclusion: The lifestyle such as exercise training and antioxidant supplementation can offer beneficial effects for preventing loss Lead-induced administration in femur BMD, in particular, in regions with spongy bony tissue.
