Spontaneous and age-related amyloidosis has been reported in C57BL/6J mice. However, the biochemical characteristics of age-related amyloidosis remain unclear. Herein, the age-related prevalence of amyloidosis, the types of amyloid fibril proteins, and the effects of amyloid deposition were investigated in renal function in C57BL/6J mice.

Exercise interventions are beneficial for reducing the risk of age-related diseases, including amyloidosis, but the underlying molecular links remain unclear. Here, we investigated the protective role of interval exercise training in a mouse model of age-related systemic apolipoprotein A-II amyloidosis (AApoAII) and identified potential mechanisms. Mice subjected to 16 weeks of exercise showed improved whole-body physiologic functions and exhibited substantial inhibition of amyloidosis, particularly in the liver and spleen.
