The M lines are structural landmarks in striated muscles, necessary for sarcomeric stability and as anchoring sites for the M isoform of creatine kinase (CK-M). These structures, especially prominent in fast skeletal muscles, are missing in rodent extraocular muscle, a particularly fast and active muscle group. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that 1). myomesin and M protein (cytoskeletal components of the M lines) and CK-M are downregulated in mouse extraocular muscle compared with the leg muscles, gastrocnemius and soleus; and 2). the expression of other cytosolic and mitochondrial CK isoforms is correspondingly increased. As expected, mouse extraocular muscles expressed lower levels of myomesin, M protein, and CK-M mRNA than the leg muscles. Immunocytochemically, myomesin and M protein were not detected in the banding pattern typically seen in other skeletal muscles. Surprisingly, message abundance for the other known CK isoforms was also lower in the extraocular muscles. Moreover, total CK activity was significantly decreased compared with that in the leg muscles. Based on these data, we reject our second hypothesis and propose that other energy-buffering systems may be more important in the extraocular muscles. The downregulation of major structural and metabolic elements and relative overexpression of two adenylate kinase isoforms suggest that the extraocular muscle group copes with its functional requirements by using strategies not seen in typical skeletal muscles. 相似文献

The number of dystrophin-positive myofibers (DPM), that appeared in different skeletal muscles of mdx mice after a single injection of synthetic microspheres containing the full-length human dystrophin cDNA within the pHSADy expressing vector into femoral quadriceps muscle, was examined on cryostat sections. Injection of 25 micrograms cDNA resulted in the occurrence of 1, 2.4, 5.8 and 4.8% of DPM in the treated muscle in 1, 7, 21, and 60 days after the injection respectively. 7, 21, and 60 days after the treatment, these values comprised 2.1, 4.3 and 1% in the same muscle of the contralateral leg, and 5.5, 8.4, and 1% in the gluteal muscle. Expression of the full-length human dystrophin (427 kDa) in the muscle of the transfected mdx mice was observed. The presence of the transfected construction in skeletal muscles, heart, brain, lungs, and fetuses was demonstrated PCR. Utilization of the FISH technique with biotinilated pHSADy construct as a DNA probe showed that 7 days after the injection, the MF-2 microspheres were present in 70% of myoblast nuclei, in 64% of nuclei of gluteal muscles, and in 62% of the contralateral quadriceps nuclei. 21 days after the treatment, these values were 41, 29, and 45%, respectively. The MF-2 microsphere were detected in the nuclei of the blood, brain, heart, and lung cells, as well as in the placenta and tissues of 18-day-old fetuses. Our results demonstrated the high efficiency of microsphere-mediated transfer of gene constructs into cell nuclei, their long-term intranuclear persistence, and the ability to direct expression for at least 2 months after injection. The MF-2 microspheres attract special interest in respect to the targeted delivery of gene constructs into the nuclei. 相似文献

The effects of a single series of high-force eccentric contractions involving the quadriceps muscle group (single leg) on plasma concentrations of muscle proteins were examined as a function of time, in the context of measurements of torque production and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the involved muscle groups. Plasma concentrations of slow-twitch skeletal (cardiac beta-type) myosin heavy chain (MHC) fragments, myoglobin, creatine kinase (CK), and cardiac troponin T were measured in blood samples of six healthy male volunteers before and 2 h after 70 eccentric contractions of the quadriceps femoris muscle. Screenings were conducted 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 13 days later. To visualize muscle injury, MRI of the loaded and unloaded thighs was performed 3, 6, and 9 days after the eccentric exercise bout. Force generation of the knee extensors was monitored on a dynamometer (Cybex II+) parallel to blood sampling. Exercise resulted in a biphasic myoglobin release profile, delayed CK and MHC peaks. Increased MHC fragment concentrations of slow skeletal muscle myosin occurred in late samples of all participants, which indicated a degradation of slow skeletal muscle myosin. Because cardiac troponin T was within the normal range in all samples, which excluded a protein release from the heart (cardiac beta-type MHC), this finding provides evidence for an injury of slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers in response to eccentric contractions. Muscle action revealed delayed reversible increases in MRI signal intensities on T2-weighted images of the loaded vastus intermedius and deep parts of the vastus lateralis. We attributed MRI signal changes due to edema in part to slow skeletal muscle fiber injury.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Oxygen consumption, cytochrome oxidase and succinoxidase activity was measured in samples of leg and breast muscle from chick embryos ranging in age from 11 to 19 days. Respiratory parameters increased significantly in both muscle groups during embryonic life. By the later stages of incubation, leg and breast muscles differed significantly in cytochrome and succinoxidase activity. Oxygen uptake between leg and breast muscles did not differ significantly during later development. The results suggest at least a partial pre-natal differentiation of skeletal muscle in the domestic fowl. 相似文献

Eight men performed 10 sets of 10 eccentric contractions of the knee extensor muscles with one leg [eccentrically exercised leg (EL)]. The weight used for this exercise was 120% of the maximal extension strength. After 30 min of rest the subjects performed two-legged cycling [concentrically exercised leg (CL)] at 74% of maximal O2 uptake for 1 h. In the 3 days after this exercise four subjects consumed diets containing 4.25 g CHO/kg body wt, and the remainder were fed 8.5 g CHO/kg. All subjects experienced severe muscle soreness and edema in the quadriceps muscles of the eccentrically exercised leg. Mean (+/- SE) resting serum creatine kinase increased from a preexercise level of 57 +/- 3 to 6,988 +/- 1,913 U/l on the 3rd day of recovery. The glycogen content (mmol/kg dry wt) in the vastus lateralis of CL muscles averaged 90, 395, and 592 mmol/kg dry wt at 0, 24, and 72 h of recovery. The EL muscle, on the other hand, averaged 168, 329, and 435 mmol/kg dry wt at these same intervals. Subjects receiving 8.5 g CHO/kg stored significantly more glycogen than those who were fed 4.3 g CHO/kg. In both groups, however, significantly less glycogen was stored in the EL than in the CL. 相似文献

1. Isolated amphibian hearts and pectoris cutaneous muscles were exposed either to DNP or to caffeine, thereby producing severe myofilament damage. 2. No accompanying change in sarcolemma permeability was detected by monitoring either CK or LDH release or Procion yellow entry in the heart, or by Procion entry in amphibian skeletal muscle. 3. The findings are in contrast with mammalian cardiac and skeletal muscles, and confirm that the pathways leading to myofilament degradation and to the breakdown in sarcolemma organization are separate. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that impairments in forearm skeletal muscle free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism are present in patients with type 2 diabetes both in the overnight fasted state and during beta-adrenergic stimulation. Eight obese subjects with type 2 diabetes and eight nonobese controls (Con) were studied using the forearm balance technique and indirect calorimetry during infusion of the stable isotope tracer [U-(13)C]palmitate after an overnight fast and during infusion of the nonselective beta-agonist isoprenaline (Iso, 20 ng. kg lean body mass(-1) x min(-1)). Additionally, activities of mitochondrial enzymes and of cytoplasmatic fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) were determined in biopsies from the vastus lateralis muscle. Both during fasting and Iso infusion, the tracer balance data showed that forearm muscle FFA uptake (Con vs. type 2: fast 449+/-69 vs. 258 +/-42 and Iso 715+/-129 vs. 398+/-70 nmol. 100 ml tissue(-1) x min(-1), P<0.05) and FFA release were lower in type 2 diabetes compared with Con. Also, the oxidation of plasma FFA by skeletal muscle was blunted during Iso infusion in type 2 diabetes (Con vs. type 2: Iso 446 +/- 274 vs. 16+/-70 nmol. 100 ml tissue(-1) x min(-1), P<0.05). The net forearm glycerol release was increased in type 2 diabetic subjects (P< 0.05), which points to an increased forearm lipolysis. Additionally, skeletal muscle cytoplasmatic FABP content and the activity of muscle oxidative enzymes were lowered in type 2 diabetes. We conclude that the uptake and oxidation of plasma FFA are impaired in the forearm muscles of type 2 diabetic subjects in the overnight fasted state with and without Iso stimulation. 相似文献

The influence of an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) on thymidine and amino acid uptake in rat hindlimb skeletal muscles during 14 days after a single exhaustive bout of weight lifting was determined. Adult male rats were divided randomly into Control or Steroid groups. Nandrolone decanoate was administered to the Steroid group 1 wk before the exercise bout. [3H]thymidine and [14C]leucine labeling were used to determine the serial changes in cellular mitotic activity, amino acid uptake, and myosin synthesis. Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, used as a measure of muscle damage, increased 30 and 60 min after exercise in both groups. The total amount of weight lifted was higher, whereas CK levels were lower in Steroid than in Control rats. [3H]thymidine uptake peaked 2 days after exercise in both groups and was 90% higher in Control than in Steroid rats, reflecting a higher level of muscle damage. [14C]leucine uptake was approximately 80% higher at rest and recovered 33% faster postexercise in Steroid than in Control rats. In a separate group of rats, the in situ isometric mechanical properties of the plantaris muscle were determined. The only significant difference was a higher fatigue resistance in the Steroid compared with the Control group. Combined, these results indicate that AAS treatment 1) ameliorates CK efflux and the uptake of [3H]thymidine and enhances the rate of protein synthesis during recovery after a bout of weight lifting, all being consistent with there being less muscle damage, and 2) enhances in vivo work capacity and the in situ fatigue resistance of a primary plantarflexor muscle. 相似文献

Abdominal neutrophils effect on rat skeletal muscle m. soleus was investigated in vitro. The incubation was carried out in Hanks balanced solution within 24 hrs. It was a release of proteins from m. soleus 1 hr later. Creatine kinase (CK) and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) activities increase was detected in incubation medium. The neutrophils released their proteins quicker than muscles. A dramatic inhibition of CK and AAT activities took place during coincubation of m. soleus and neutrophils. Zymosan-activated cells had a higher inhibition potency in comparison to nonactivated neutrophils. Analysis of proteinase and myeloperoxidase activities in incubation medium has given evidence that CK and AAT inhibition by non-activated neutrophils mainly depends on cell-secreted proteinases. Zymosan-activated neutrophil inhibition of CK and AAT consists of proteinases and myeloperoxidase effects. AAT appeared to be more resistant than CK to the damage by neutrophils. The used approach failed to demonstrate the direct damage effect of neutrophils on m. soleus, but the described enzyme inhibition mechanism can take place in vivo during leukocyte infiltration of skeletal muscles after intensive muscular activity. 相似文献

This study aimed to compare voluntary and stimulated exercise for changes in muscle strength, growth hormone (GH), blood lactate, and markers of muscle damage. Nine healthy men had two leg press exercise bouts separated by 2 wk. In the first bout, the quadriceps muscles were stimulated by biphasic rectangular pulses (75 Hz, duration 400 mus, on-off ratio 6.25-20 s) with current amplitude being consistently increased throughout 40 contractions at maximal tolerable level. In the second bout, 40 voluntary isometric contractions were performed at the same leg press force output as the first bout. Maximal voluntary isometric strength was measured before and after the bouts, and serum GH and blood lactate concentrations were measured before, during, and after exercise. Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and muscle soreness were assessed before, immediately after, and 24, 48, and 72 h after exercise. Maximal voluntary strength decreased significantly (P < 0.05) after both bouts, but the magnitude of the decrease was significantly (P < 0.05) greater for the stimulated contractions (-22%) compared with the voluntary contractions (-9%). Increases in serum GH and lactate concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) larger after the stimulation compared with the voluntary exercise. Increases in serum CK activity and muscle soreness were also significantly (P < 0.05) greater for the stimulation than voluntary exercise. It was concluded that a single bout of electrical stimulation exercise resulted in greater GH response and muscle damage than voluntary exercise. 相似文献

Infrequent exercise, typically involving eccentric actions, has been shown to cause oxidative stress and to damage muscle tissue. High taurine levels are present in skeletal muscle and may play a role in cellular defences against free radical‐mediated damage. This study investigates the effects of taurine supplementation on oxidative stress biomarkers after eccentric exercise (EE). Twenty‐four male rats were divided into the following groups (n = 6): control; EE; EE plus taurine (EE + Taurine); EE plus saline (EE + Saline). Taurine was administered as a 1‐ml 300 mg kg?1 per body weight (BW) day?1 solution in water by gavage, for 15 consecutive days. Starting on the 14th day of supplementation, the animals were submitted to one 90‐min downhill run session and constant velocity of 1·0 km h?1. Forty‐eight hours after the exercise session, the animals were killed and the quadriceps muscles were surgically removed. Production of superoxide anion, creatine kinase (CK) levels, lipoperoxidation, carbonylation, total thiol content and antioxidant enzyme were analysed. Taurine supplementation was found to decrease superoxide radical production, CK, lipoperoxidation and carbonylation levels and increased total thiol content in skeletal muscle, but it did not affect antioxidant enzyme activity after EE. The present study suggests that taurine affects skeletal muscle contraction by decreasing oxidative stress, in association with decreased superoxide radical production.

The effect of halofuginone (Halo) on established fibrosis in older mdx dystrophic muscle was investigated. Mice (8 to 9 mo) treated with Halo (or saline in controls) for 5, 10, or 12 wk were assessed weekly for grip strength and voluntary running. Echocardiography was performed at 0, 5, and 10 wk. Respiratory function and exercise-induced muscle damage were tested. Heart, quadriceps, diaphragm, and tibialis anterior muscles were collected to study fibrosis, collagen I and III expression, collagen content using a novel collagenase-digestion method, and cell proliferation. Hepatocyte growth factor and alpha-smooth muscle actin proteins were assayed in quadriceps. Halo decreased fibrosis (diaphragm and quadriceps), collagen I and III expression, collagen protein, and smooth muscle actin content after 10 wk treatment. Muscle-cell proliferation increased at 5 wk, and hepatocyte growth factor increased by 10 wk treatment. Halo markedly improved both cardiac and respiratory function and reduced damage and improved recovery from exercise. The overall impact of established dystrophy and dysfunction in cardiac and skeletal muscles was reduced by Halo treatment. Marked improvements in vital-organ functions implicate Halo as a strong candidate drug to reduce morbidity and mortality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

Eccentric exercise often produces severe muscle damage, whereas concentric exercise of a similar load elicits a minor degree of muscle damage. The cellular events initiating muscle damage are thought to include an increase in cytosolic Ca. It was hypothesized that eccentric muscle activity in humans would lead to a larger degree of cell damage and increased intracellular Ca accumulation in skeletal muscle than concentric activity would. Furthermore, possible differences between men and women in muscle damage were investigated following step exercise. Thirty-three healthy subjects (18 men and 15 women) participated in a 30-minute step exercise protocol involving concentric contractions with 1 leg and eccentric contractions with the other leg. Muscle Ca content, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and muscle enzymes in the plasma were measured. In a subgroup of the subjects, T2 relaxation time was measured by magnetic resonance imaging. No significant changes were found in muscle Ca content in vastus lateralis biopsy specimens in women or in men. Following step exercise, MVC decreased in both legs of both genders. The women had a significantly larger strength decrease in the eccentric leg than the men had on postexercise day 2 (p < 0.01). Plasma creatine kinase increased following step exercise, with a sevenfold higher response in women than in men on day 3 (p < 0.001). The women, but not the men, had an increase in T2 relaxation time in the eccentrically working adductor magnus muscle, peaking on day 3 (75%) (p < 0.001). In conclusion, step exercise does not lead to Ca accumulation in the vastus lateralis but does induce muscle damage preferentially in the eccentrically working muscles, considerably more in women than in men. This indicates that gender-specific step training programs may be warranted to avoid excessive muscle damage. 相似文献

Heavy dynamic exercise using both arm and leg muscles was performed to exhaustion by seven well-trained subjects. The aerobic and anaerobic energy utilization was determined and/or calculated. O2 uptake during exercise and during 1 h of recovery was measured as well as splanchnic and muscle metabolite exchange. Glycogen and lactate content in the quadriceps femoris was determined before exercise, immediately after exercise, and after a recovery period. In four male subjects the estimated mean lactate production during exercise was 830 mmol. The splanchnic uptake of lactate during recovery was 80 mmol, and the calculated maximum amount oxidized during the recovery period was 330 mmol. About 60 mmol were accounted for in the body water at the end of the rest period. The remaining 360 mmol of lactate were apparently resynthesized into glycogen in muscle via gluconeogenesis. It is concluded that approximately 50% of the lactate formed during heavy exercise is transformed to glycogen via glyconeogenesis in muscle during recovery and that lactate uptake by the liver is only 10%. 相似文献

Healthy untrained men (age 20.4 ± 1.7 years, n = 20) volunteered to participate in an experiment in order to establish dynamics of indirect symptoms of skeletal muscle damage (ISMD) (decrease in maximal isometric voluntary contraction torque (MVCT) and torque evoked by electrostimulation at different frequencies and at different quadriceps muscle length, height (H) of drop jump (DJ), muscle soreness and creatine kinase (CK) activity in the blood) after 100 DJs from 0.75 m height performed with maximal intensity with an interval of 20 s between the jumps (stretch-shortening exercise, SSE). All ISMDs remained even 72 h after SSE (P < 0.01–0.001). The muscle experienced greater decrease (P < 0.01) in torque evoked by electrostimulation (at low stimulation frequencies and at short muscle length in particular) after SSE than neuromuscular performance (MVCT and H of DJ) which demonstrated secondary decrease (P < 0.01) in neuromuscular performance during the first 48 h after SSE. Within 24–72 h after the SSE the subjects felt an acute muscle pain (5–7 points approximately) and the CK activity in the blood was significantly increased up to 1200 IU/L (P < 0.001). A significant correlation between decrease in MVCT and H of DJ 24–48 h after SSE on the one hand and muscle soreness registered within 24–48 h after SSE on the other was observed, whereas correlation between the other indirect symptoms of skeletal muscle damage was not significant. 相似文献

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of one-legged exercise on the strength, power and endurance of the contralateral leg. The performance of the knee extensor and flexor muscle of 20 healthy young adults (10 men and 10 women) was first tested by Cybex II+ and 340 dynamometers. Then 10 subjects were chosen at random to train using one leg three times a week for 7 weeks whilst the other 10 served as controls. During the 8th week, the tests were repeated. Both quadriceps and hamstring muscles of the trained subjects showed a cross-transfer effect from the trained limb to the untrained side. This concerned the strength and power, as well as endurance characteristics of these muscles. The average change in peak torque of the quadriceps muscle was +19% (P less than 0.001) in the trained limb, +11% (P less than 0.01) in the untrained limb and 0% in the control limbs. In hamstring muscles the changes were +14% (P less than 0.01), +5% and -1%, respectively. Concerning muscle endurance (work performed during the last 5 contractions in the 25-repetition test) the corresponding changes were +15% (P less than 0.01), +7% (P less than 0.01), and -1% in quadriceps muscle, and +17% (P less than 0.05), +7%, and -3% in hamstring muscles. The average strength benefit in the untrained limb was +36% (hamstring muscles) and +58% (quadriceps muscle) of that achieved in the trained limb. Untrained hamstring muscle showed better benefits in the endurance parameters than in strength or power parameters, while in the quadriceps muscle this effect was reversed. A positive relationship was observed between the changes (greater improvement in the trained limb resulted in greater improvement in the untrained limb) (hamstring muscles: r = 0.83, P less than 0.001, quadriceps muscle: r = 0.53, P less than 0.001). In endurance parameters, this relationship was almost linear while in the strength and power parameters the results were more in favour of a curvilinear relationship with limited benefit. 相似文献

Influence of carnitine supplementation on muscle substrate and carnitine metabolism during exercise 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We examined 1) the effect of L-carnitine supplementation on free fatty acid (FFA) utilization during exercise and 2) exercise-induced alterations in plasma levels and skeletal muscle exchange of carnitine. Seven moderately trained human male subjects serving as their own controls participated in two bicycle exercise sessions (120 min, 50% of VO2max). The second exercise was preceded by 5 days of oral carnitine supplementation (CS; 5 g daily). Despite a doubling of plasma carnitine levels, with CS, there were no effects on exercise-induced changes in arterial levels and turnover of FFA, the relation between leg FFA inflow and FFA uptake, or the leg exchange of other substrates. Heart rate during exercise after CS decreased 7-8%, but O2 uptake was unchanged. Exercise before CS induced a fall from 33.4 +/- 1.6 to 30.8 +/- 1.0 (SE) mumol/l in free plasma carnitine despite a release (2.5 +/- 0.9 mumol/min) from the leg. Simultaneously, acylated plasma carnitine rose from 5.0 +/- 1.0 to 14.2 +/- 1.4 mumol/l, with no evidence of leg release. Consequently, total plasma carnitine increased. We concluded that in healthy subjects CS does not influence muscle substrate utilization either at rest or during prolonged exercise and that free carnitine released from muscle during exercise is presumably acylated in the liver and released to plasma. 相似文献

We investigated heredity-independent effects of increased physical activity and aerobic fitness on skeletal muscle free fatty acid (FFA) uptake, perfusion, and their heterogeneity at rest and during exercise. Also, the relationship between local skeletal muscle FFA uptake and perfusion was studied. Nine young adult male monozygotic twin pairs with significant difference in physical activity [229 min (SD 156) average time spent for conditioning exercise per week in more and 98 min (SD 71) in less active twins, P = 0.013] and aerobic fitness [18% (SD 10) difference in maximum O2 uptake] between brothers were studied using positron emission tomography. Submaximal knee-extension exercise increased perfusion, FFA uptake, and oxygen uptake in quadriceps femoris muscles 6-10 times compared with resting values (P < 0.001). More active twins tended to utilize more oxygen, while no differences were found in muscle perfusion or FFA uptake between groups. Mean perfusion and FFA uptake correlated strongly at a whole muscle level, both at rest (r = 0.97, P = 0.03 in more and r = 0.98, P = 0.02 in less active twins) and during exercise (r = 0.99, P = 0.01 and r = 0.94, P = 0.06), but at the voxel level (87 mm3) correlation was only moderate during exercise [r = 0.73 (SD 0.08) vs. r = 0.74 (SD 0.10), P = 0.92] and weak at rest [r = 0.28 (SD 0.13) vs. r = 0.33 (SD 0.21), P = 0.58]. Exercise decreased both perfusion and FFA uptake heterogeneity within the muscles (P < 0.001) similarly in both groups. In conclusion, long-term history of moderately increased physical activity tends to enhance muscle oxidative metabolism, but it does not have any significant influence on the FFA uptake or perfusion rates or their heterogeneity in skeletal muscle. Submaximal knee-extension exercise decreases heterogeneity of muscle FFA uptake and perfusion and improves matching between local muscle perfusion and FFA uptake. Thus it seems that the genetic influence is more important to determine the heterogeneity of perfusion and FFA uptake in skeletal muscle than exercise training. 相似文献

High-intensity exercise (> or =90% of maximal O(2) uptake) sustained to the limit of tolerance elicits expiratory muscle fatigue (EMF). We asked whether prior EMF affects subsequent exercise tolerance. Eight male subjects (means +/- SD; maximal O(2) uptake = 53.5 +/- 5.2 ml.kg(-1).min(-1)) cycled at 90% of peak power output to the limit of tolerance with (EMF-EX) and without (CON-EX) prior induction of EMF and for a time equal to that achieved in EMF-EX but without prior induction of EMF (ISO-EX). To induce EMF, subjects breathed against an expiratory flow resistor until task failure (15 breaths/min, 0.7 expiratory duty cycle, 40% of maximal expiratory gastric pressure). Fatigue of abdominal and quadriceps muscles was assessed by measuring the reduction relative to prior baseline values in magnetically evoked gastric twitch pressure (Pga(tw)) and quadriceps twitch force (Q(tw)), respectively. The reduction in Pga(tw) was not different after resistive breathing vs. after CON-EX (-27 +/- 5 vs. -26 +/- 6%; P = 0.127). Exercise time was reduced by 33 +/- 10% in EMF-EX vs. CON-EX (6.85 +/- 2.88 vs. 9.90 +/- 2.94 min; P < 0.001). Exercise-induced abdominal and quadriceps muscle fatigue was greater after EMF-EX than after ISO-EX (-28 +/- 9 vs. -12 +/- 5% for Pga(tw), P = 0.001; -28 +/- 7 vs. -14 +/- 6% for Q(tw), P = 0.015). Perceptual ratings of dyspnea and leg discomfort (Borg CR10) were higher at 1 and 3 min and at end exercise during EMF-EX vs. during ISO-EX (P < 0.05). Percent changes in limb fatigue and leg discomfort (EMF-EX vs. ISO-EX) correlated significantly with the change in exercise time. We propose that EMF impaired subsequent exercise tolerance primarily through an increased severity of limb locomotor muscle fatigue and a heightened perception of leg discomfort. 相似文献

Eccentrically biased exercise results in skeletal muscle damage and stimulates adaptations in muscle, whereby indexes of damage are attenuated when the exercise is repeated. We hypothesized that changes in ultrastructural damage, inflammatory cell infiltration, and markers of proteolysis in skeletal muscle would come about as a result of repeated eccentric exercise and that gender may affect this adaptive response. Untrained male (n = 8) and female (n = 8) subjects performed two bouts (bout 1 and bout 2), separated by 5.5 wk, of 36 repetitions of unilateral, eccentric leg press and 100 repetitions of unilateral, eccentric knee extension exercises (at 120% of their concentric single repetition maximum), the subjects' contralateral nonexercised leg served as a control (rest). Biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis from each leg 24 h postexercise. After bout 2, the postexercise force deficit and the rise in serum creatine kinase (CK) activity were attenuated. Women had lower serum CK activity compared with men at all times (P < 0.05), but there were no gender differences in the relative magnitude of the force deficit. Muscle Z-disk streaming, quantified by using light microscopy, was elevated vs. rest only after bout 1 (P < 0.05), with no gender difference. Muscle neutrophil counts were significantly greater in women 24 h after bout 2 vs. rest and bout 1 (P < 0.05) but were unchanged in men. Muscle macrophages were elevated in men and women after bout 1 and bout 2 (P < 0.05). Muscle protein content of the regulatory calpain subunit remained unchanged whereas ubiquitin-conjugated protein content was increased after both bouts (P < 0.05), with a greater increase after bout 2. We conclude that adaptations to eccentric exercise are associated with attenuated serum CK activity and, potentially, an increase in the activity of the ubiquitin proteosome proteolytic pathway. 相似文献
