Three female and three male highly trained endurance runners with mean maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) values of 60.5 and 71.5 ml.kg-1.min-1, respectively, ran to exhaustion at 75%-80% of VO2max on two occasions after an overnight fast. One experiment was performed after a normal diet and training regimen (Norm), the other after a diet and training programme intended to increase muscle glycogen levels (Carb). Muscle glycogen concentration in the gastrocnemius muscle increased by 25% (P less than 0.05) from 581 mmol.kg-1 dry weight, SEM 50 to 722 mmol.kg-1 dry weight, SEM 34 after Carb. Running time to exhaustion, however, was not significantly different in Carb and Norm, 77 min, SEM 13 vs 70 min, SEM 8, respectively. The average glycogen concentration following exhaustive running was 553 mmol.kg-1 dry weight, SEM 70 in Carb and 434 mmol.kg-1 dry weight, SEM 57 in Norm, indicating that in both tests muscle glycogen stores were decreased by about 25%. Periodic acid-Schiff staining for semi-quantitative glycogen determination in individual fibres confirmed that none of the fibres appeared to be glycogen-empty after exhaustive running. The steady-state respiratory exchange ratio was higher in Carb than in Norm (0.92, SEM 0.01 vs 0.89, SEM 0.01; P less than 0.05). Since muscle glycogen utilization was identical in the two tests, the indication of higher utilization of total carbohydrate appears to be related to a higher utilization of liver glycogen. We have concluded that glycogen depletion of the gastrocnemius muscle is unlikely to be the cause of fatigue during exhaustive running at 75%-80% of VO2max in highly trained endurance runners. Furthermore, diet- and training-induced carbohydrate super-compensation does not appear to improve endurance capacity in such individuals.  相似文献

Summary Experiments with dehydrogenase activity (DHA) suggest that it is unlikely to prove a useful general index of soil fertility. At best it is only a qualitative indication.This conclusion is based on (1) the lack of useful correlations between DHA and either soil properties known to influence plant growth or plant yields, (2) the poor response of DHA values to nutrient addition to a soil known to be of low nutrient status, and (3) the poor precision of the method in spite of rigid adherence to a standard procedure.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in the morphological and functional aspects of the triceps brachii muscle between highly trained male and female athletes who were members of the 1996 Japanese Olympic teams in each of three different events: soccer, gymnastics and judo. The thickness (TBmt) and fibre pennation angle (TBpen) of the triceps brachii muscle and force output during elbow extensions were determined using a B-mode ultrasound apparatus and an isokinetic dynamometer, respectively. The TBmt and its value relative to upper arm length (TBmt/l ua) were significantly larger in the men than in the women in all the events except judo. In all the subjects, a significant correlation was found between TBmt/l ua) and TBpen (r= 0.721, P < 0.05). The existence of the sex difference in TBpen within the same event was in agreement with that observed in TBmt/l ua except for the soccer players. The TBpen of the soccer players were similar in both sexes although a significant sex differences was found in TBmt/l ua. The isokinetic forces measured using the two velocities 60°· s−1 (F 60) and 180°· s−1 (F 180) were significantly correlated to the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the triceps brachii muscle estimated from TBmt (r= 0.702, P < 0.05 for F 60, and r= 0.776, P < 0.05 for F 180). No significant sex differences were found in either F 60/CSA or F 180/CSA in any of the events. From these results, it could be assumed, at least in the Olympic athletes tested in this study, that the fibre angulation of the triceps brachii muscle was almost the same in the two sexes if allowance was made for the difference in the muscle size, and the sex difference in force generation capability of the triceps brachii muscle could in the main be attributed to the difference in CSA rather than in the architectural characteristics.

Five bands of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes were seen by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in gastrocnemius muscle of the turtle (Kachuga smithi). The major band was of M2H2 type and was partially purified by gel filtration and affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the enzyme was 2.6 units/mg protein. The half-life of the enzyme at 4 degrees C, was about 7 days. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity was 30 degrees C and the enzyme was irreversibly inactivated at 40 degrees C. The optimum pH for the forward reaction (pyruvate to lactate) was 5.5, while for reverse reaction it was between 8.0 to 9.5. The apparent Km values for pyruvate, NADH, lactate and NAD+ were 0.20, 0.013, 25 and 0.333 mM, respectively. Oxalate was found to be the inhibitor of LDH with Ki of about 4.2 mM.  相似文献

Skeletal muscle displays enormous plasticity to respond to contractile activity with muscle from strength- (ST) and endurance-trained (ET) athletes representing diverse states of the adaptation continuum. Training adaptation can be viewed as the accumulation of specific proteins. Hence, the altered gene expression that allows for changes in protein concentration is of major importance for any training adaptation. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to quantify acute subcellular responses in muscle to habitual and unfamiliar exercise. After 24-h diet/exercise control, 13 male subjects (7 ST and 6 ET) performed a random order of either resistance (8 x 5 maximal leg extensions) or endurance exercise (1 h of cycling at 70% peak O2 uptake). Muscle biopsies were taken from vastus lateralis at rest and 3 h after exercise. Gene expression was analyzed using real-time PCR with changes normalized relative to preexercise values. After cycling exercise, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha (ET approximately 8.5-fold, ST approximately 10-fold, P < 0.001), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4 (PDK-4; ET approximately 26-fold, ST approximately 39-fold), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; ET approximately 4.5-fold, ST approximately 4-fold), and muscle atrophy F-box protein (MAFbx) (ET approximately 2-fold, ST approximately 0.4-fold) mRNA increased in both groups, whereas MyoD (approximately 3-fold), myogenin (approximately 0.9-fold), and myostatin (approximately 2-fold) mRNA increased in ET but not in ST (P < 0.05). After resistance exercise PDK-4 (approximately 7-fold, P < 0.01) and MyoD (approximately 0.7-fold) increased, whereas MAFbx (approximately 0.7-fold) and myostatin (approximately 0.6-fold) decreased in ET but not in ST. We conclude that prior training history can modify the acute gene responses in skeletal muscle to subsequent exercise.  相似文献

Lactate dehydrogenase C and energy metabolism in mouse sperm   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
We demonstrated previously that disruption of the germ cell-specific lactate dehydrogenase C gene (Ldhc) led to male infertility due to defects in sperm function, including a rapid decline in sperm ATP levels, a decrease in progressive motility, and a failure to develop hyperactivated motility. We hypothesized that lack of LDHC disrupts glycolysis by feedback inhibition, either by causing a defect in renewal of the NAD(+) cofactor essential for activity of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, sperm (GAPDHS), or an accumulation of pyruvate. To test these hypotheses, nuclear magnetic resonance analysis was used to follow the utilization of labeled substrates in real time. We found that in sperm lacking LDHC, glucose consumption was disrupted, but the NAD:NADH ratio and pyruvate levels were unchanged, and pyruvate was rapidly metabolized to lactate. Moreover, the metabolic disorder induced by treatment with the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) inhibitor sodium oxamate was different from that caused by lack of LDHC. This supported our earlier conclusion that LDHA, an LDH isozyme present in the principal piece of the flagellum, is responsible for the residual LDH activity in sperm lacking LDHC, but suggested that LDHC has an additional role in the maintenance of energy metabolism in sperm. By coimmunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry, we identified 27 proteins associated with LDHC. A majority of these proteins are implicated in ATP synthesis, utilization, transport, and/or sequestration. This led us to hypothesize that in addition to its role in glycolysis, LDHC is part of a complex involved in ATP homeostasis that is disrupted in sperm lacking LDHC.  相似文献

This study examined the impact of short-term (7-day), high-dose (0.35 g.kg(-1).d(-1)) oral creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrS) on single sprint running performance (40 m, <6 seconds) and on intermittent sprint performance in highly trained sprinters. Nine subjects completed the double-blind cross-over design with 2 supplementation periods (placebo and creatine) and a 7-week wash-out period. A test protocol consisting of 40-m sprint runs was performed, and running velocity was continuously recorded over the total distance. The maximal sprint performance, the relative degree of fatigue at the end of intermittent sprint exercise (6 x 40 m, 30-second rest interval), as well as the degree of recovery (120-second passive rest) remained unchanged following CrS. There were no significant changes related to CrS in absolute running velocity at any distance between start and finish (40 m). It was concluded that no ergogenic effect on single or repeated 40-m sprint times with varying rest periods was observed in highly trained athletes.  相似文献

Leucocyte cell counts and the phagocytic and chemotactic activities of neutrophil granulocytes were investigated in highly endurance-trained long-distance runners (n = 10) and triathletes (n = 10) during a moderate training period and compared with untrained subjects (n = 10) before and up to 24 h after a graded exercise to exhaustion on a treadmill. After exercise a leucocytosis was noted with a significant increase in lymphocyte (P < or = 0.01) and neutrophil (P < or = 0.01) counts in all groups. In neutrophils the number of ingested inert latex beads was significantly increased (P < or = 0.01) from 0.21 (SD 0.09) to 0.45 (SD 0.22) in controls, from 0.20 (SD 0.12) to 0.56 (SD 0.16) in long-distance runners and from 0.25 (SD 0.08) to 1.03 (SD 0.42) particles per cell in triathletes 24 h after exercise, compared with resting values. The capability of neutrophils to produce microbicidal reactive oxygen species fell (P < or = 0.05) immediately after exercise in all subjects and then increased by 36 (SD 8)%, 31 (SD 6)% and 19 (SD 9)% in controls, runners and triathletes respectively up to 24 h after exercise (P < or = 0.05) compared with pre-start values. With respect to the absolute number of neutrophils, ingestion capacity, production of superoxide anions and chemotactic activity, no significant differences were found between athletes and control subjects at rest and after exercise.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Human endurance performance can be predicted from maximal oxygen consumption (Vo(2max)), lactate threshold, and exercise efficiency. These physiological parameters, however, are not wholly exclusive from one another, and their interplay is complex. Accordingly, we sought to identify more specific measurements explaining the range of performance among athletes. Out of 150 separate variables we identified 10 principal factors responsible for hematological, cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and neurological variation in 16 highly trained cyclists. These principal factors were then correlated with a 26-km time trial and test of maximal incremental power output. Average power output during the 26-km time trial was attributed to, in order of importance, oxidative phosphorylation capacity of the vastus lateralis muscle (P = 0.0005), steady-state submaximal blood lactate concentrations (P = 0.0017), and maximal leg oxygenation (sO(2LEG)) (P = 0.0295), accounting for 78% of the variation in time trial performance. Variability in maximal power output, on the other hand, was attributed to total body hemoglobin mass (Hb(mass); P = 0.0038), Vo(2max) (P = 0.0213), and sO(2LEG) (P = 0.0463). In conclusion, 1) skeletal muscle oxidative capacity is the primary predictor of time trial performance in highly trained cyclists; 2) the strongest predictor for maximal incremental power output is Hb(mass); and 3) overall exercise performance (time trial performance + maximal incremental power output) correlates most strongly to measures regarding the capability for oxygen transport, high Vo(2max) and Hb(mass), in addition to measures of oxygen utilization, maximal oxidative phosphorylation, and electron transport system capacities in the skeletal muscle.  相似文献

Factors improving exercise capacity in highly trained individuals are of major interest. Recent studies suggest that the dietary intake of inorganic nitrate may enhance athletic performance. This has been related to the stepwise in vivo bioactivation of nitrate to nitrite and nitric oxide (NO) with the modulation of mitochondrial function. Here we show that higher baseline levels of nitrite are associated with a superior exercise capacity in highly trained athletes independent of endothelial function. Eleven male athletes were enrolled in this investigation and each participant reported twice to the testing facility (total of n=22 observations). Venous blood was obtained to determine the levels of circulating plasma nitrite and nitrate. Endothelial function was assessed by measuring flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD). Hereafter, participants completed a stepwise bicycle exercise test until exhaustion. Blood was drawn from the ear lope to determine the levels of lactate. Lactate anaerobic thresholds (LAT) in relation to heart rate were calculated using non-linear regression models. Baseline plasma nitrite levels correlated with LATs (r=0.65; p=0.001, n=22) and with endothelial function as assessed by FMD (r=0.71; p=0.0002). Correlation coefficients from both testing days did not differ. Multiple linear regressions showed that baseline plasma nitrite level but not endothelial function was an independent predictor of exercise capacity. No such correlations were determined for plasma nitrate levels.  相似文献
