In situ muscle stimulation in trained and untrained rats was used to reevaluate whether adaptations induced by endurance exercise training result in decreased lactate production by contracting muscles. The gastrocnemius-plantaris-soleus muscle group was stimulated to perform isotonic contractions. After 3 min of stimulation with 100-ms trains at 50 Hz at 60/min, the increases in lactate concentration in the plantaris, soleus, and fast-twitch red muscle (deep portion of lateral head of gastrocnemius) were only approximately 50% as great in trained as in sedentary rats. In the predominantly fast-twitch white superficial portion of the medial head of the gastrocnemius the increase in lactate concentration was 28% less in the trained than in the sedentary group. The decreases in muscle glycogen concentration seen after 3 min of stimulation at 60 trains/min were smaller in the trained than in the untrained group. The reduction in lactate accumulation that occurred in the different muscles in response to training was roughly proportional to the degree of glycogen sparing. These results show that endurance training induces adaptations that result in a slower production of lactate by muscle during contractile activity.  相似文献

Skeletal muscle changes after endurance training at high altitude.   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
The effects of endurance training on the skeletal muscle of rats have been studied at sea level and simulated high altitude (4,000 m). Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups: exercise at sea level, exercise at simulated high altitude, sedentary at sea level, and sedentary at high altitude (n = 8 in each group). Training consisted of swimming for 1 h/day in water at 36 degrees C for 14 wk. Training and exposure to a high-altitude environment produced a decrease in body weight (P less than 0.001). There was a significant linear correlation between muscle mass and body weight in the animals of all groups (r = 0.89, P less than 0.001). High-altitude training enhanced the percentage of type IIa fibers in the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL, P less than 0.05) and deep portions of the plantaris muscle (dPLA, P less than 0.01). High-altitude training also increased the percentage of type IIab fibers in fast-twitch muscles. These muscles showed marked metabolic adaptations: training increased the activity levels of enzymes involved in the citric acid cycle (citrate synthase, CS) and the beta-oxidation of fatty acids (3 hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase, HAD). This increase occurred mainly at high altitude (36 and 31% for HAD in EDL and PLA muscles; 24 and 31% for CS in EDL and PLA muscles). Training increased the activity of enzymes involved in glucose phosphorylation (hexokinase). High-altitude training decreased lactate dehydrogenase activity. Endurance training performed at high altitude and sea level increased the isozyme 1-to-total lactate dehydrogenase activity ratio to the same extent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The response of hypertrophied soleus and plantaris muscle of rats to endurance training was studied. Hypertrophy was produced by bilateral extirpation of the gastrocnemius muscle. A 13-wk training program of treadmill running initiated 30 days after removal of the gastrocnemius muscle accentuated (P less than 0.01) the hypertrophy. Succinate dehydrogenase activities of the enlarged muscles of sedentary rats were similar to those of normal animals, as were the increases associated with training. Phosphorylase and hexokinase activities were unaltered as a result of the experimental perturbations. Rates of glycogen depletion during exercise were lower (P less than 0.01) in the liver and soleus and plantaris muscles of endurance-trained animals. No difference existed in the rate of glycogen depletion of normal and hypertrophied muscle within the sedentary or trained groups. These data demonstrate that extensively hypertrophied muscle responds to training and exercise in a manner similar to that of normal muscle.  相似文献

Only few data are available on the effect of training on phospholipid metabolism in skeletal muscles. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of 6 weeks of endurance training on the content of particular phospholipid fractions and on the incorporation of blood-borne [14C]-palmitic acid into the phospholipids in different skeletal muscles (white and red sections of the gastrocnemius, the soleus and the diaphragm) of the rat. Lipids were extracted from the muscles and separated using thin-layer chromatography into the following fractions: sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, cardiolipin and neutral lipids (this fraction being composed mostly of triacylglycerols). It was found that training did not affect the content of any phospholipid fraction in soleus muscle. It increased the content of sphingomyelin in white gastrocnemius muscle, cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine in red gastrocnemius muscle and phosphatidylinositol in white gastrocnemius muscle and diaphragm. The total phospholipid content in red gastrocnemius muscle of the trained group was higher than in the control group. Training reduced the specific activity of sphingomyelin and cardiolipin in all muscles, phosphatidylcholine in soleus, red, and white gastrocnemius muscles, phosphatidylserine in all muscles, phosphatidylinositol in all except the soleus muscle, and phosphatidylethanolamine in hindleg muscles, but not in the diaphragm compared to the corresponding values in the sedentary group. It was concluded that endurance training affects skeletal muscle phospholipid content and the rate of incorporation of the blood-borne [14C]palmitic acid into the phospholipid moieties.  相似文献

We hypothesize that training results in a faster and greater repletion of glycogen in skeletal muscles of normal and diabetic rats. Normal male Sprague-Dawley rats (100-140 g) were divided into two groups--one to train by treadmill running for 10 wk and the other to remain sedentary. Forty-eight hours after the last training session the rats of both groups were exercised to exhaustion. One subgroup of each was fed oral glucose (3 g/kg) at exhaustion and killed 60 min later. The other was killed at exhaustion. The glycogen concentration of soleus, plantaris, and red and white gastrocnemius was determined in all rats. The trained group had higher glycogen levels after glucose feeding in all muscles (P less than 0.002) and repleted their muscle glycogen more rapidly (P less than 0.05). However, in diabetic rats (45 mg streptozotocin/kg body wt) the trained and sedentary rats have similar glycogen levels and glycogen repletion rates in all muscles. Compared with the normal trained rats, the diabetic trained rats had slower glycogen repletion rates (P less than 0.05).  相似文献

We examined the oxidative and antioxidant enzyme activities in respiratory and locomotor muscles in response to endurance training in young and aging rats. Young adult (4-mo-old) and old (24-mo-old) female Fischer 344 rats were divided into four groups: 1) young trained (n = 12), 2) young untrained (n = 12), 3) old trained (n = 10), and 4) old untrained (n = 6). Both young and old endurance-trained animals performed the same training protocol during 10 wk of continuous treadmill exercise (60 min/day, 5 days/wk). Compared with young untrained animals, the young trained group had significantly elevated (P less than 0.05) activities of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and citrate synthase (CS) in both the costal diaphragm and the plantaris muscle. In contrast, training had no influence (P greater than 0.05) on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase within the costal diaphragm in young animals. In the aging animals, training did not alter (P greater than 0.05) activities of CS, HADH, GPX, or lactate dehydrogenase in the costal diaphragm but significantly (P less than 0.05) increased CS, HADH, and GPX activities in the plantaris muscle. Furthermore, training resulted in higher activities of CS and HADH in the intercostal muscles in the old trained than in the old untrained animals. Finally, activities of CS, HADH, and GPX were significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in the plantaris in the old untrained than in the young untrained animals; however, CS, HADH, and GPX activities were greater (P less than 0.05) in the costal diaphragm in the old sedentary than in the young untrained animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) plays an important role in regulating carbohydrate metabolism in skeletal muscle. PDH is activated by PDH phosphatase (PDP) and deactivated by PDH kinase (PDK). Obesity has a large negative impact on skeletal muscle carbohydrate metabolism, whereas endurance training has been shown to improve regulatory control of skeletal muscle carbohydrate metabolism, more so when coupled with obesity. A majority of this literature has focused on PDK, with little information available on PDP. To determine the relative role of PDP in regulating skeletal muscle PDH activity with obesity and endurance training, obese and lean Zucker rats remained sedentary or were endurance trained (1 h/day, 5 days/wk) for a period of 8 wk. Soleus, red gastrocnemius, (RG), and white gastrocnemius (WG) muscles were sampled after the training period. The main findings were 1) obesity resulted in a 46% decrease in PDP activity expressed per milligram extracted mitochondrial protein only in RG, while PDP isoform content was unchanged; 2) 8 wk of endurance training led to a significant 1.4-2.2-fold increase in PDP activity of all muscle examined from obese rats, and the concomitant increase in PDP1 protein was only seen in soleus and RG; 3) 8 wk of endurance training led to a trending 1.4-2.2-fold increase in PDP activity of all muscle examined from obese rats, and the concomitant increase in PDP1 protein was only seen in soleus and RG; and 4) PDP2 protein content was not affected by obesity or training. These results suggest that decreased PDP activity in oxidative skeletal muscles may play a role in the impairment of carbohydrate metabolism in obese rats, which is reversible with endurance training.  相似文献

The effect of selective vs. nonselective beta-blockade on fast-twitch [extensor digitorum longus (EDL)] and slow-twitch [soleus (SOL)] muscle enzyme activities following endurance training were characterized. Citrate synthase (CS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) activities were compared in SOL and EDL muscles of trained (T), metoprolol-trained (MT), propranolol-trained (PT), and sedentary (C) rats. Following 8 wk of treadmill running (1 h/day, 5 days/wk at approximately 30 m/min), LDH activity was depressed approximately 20% (P less than 0.05) in both SOL and EDL in only the PT rats, indicating inhibition of beta 2-mediated anaerobic glycolysis. EDL CS activity was similarly elevated in all three trained groups compared with sedentary controls. In SOL muscle, however, a drug attenuation effect was observed so that CS activity was increased only in the T (P less than 0.01) and MT (P less than 0.05) groups. HAD enzyme activity was increased somewhat (P less than 0.10) in SOL muscle in only the T group, but more so (P less than 0.05) in EDL in all three trained groups. The above findings suggest a training-induced selectivity effect not only with respect to beta 1-vs. beta 1-beta 2-blockers, but also with respect to muscle fiber type.  相似文献

The present study was designed to examine the acute and chronic effects of endurance treadmill training on citrate synthase (CS) gene expression and enzymatic activity in rat skeletal and cardiac muscles. Adult rats were endurance trained for 8 wk on a treadmill. They were killed 1 h (T(1), n = 8) or 48 h (T(48), n = 8) after their last bout of exercise training. Eight rats were sedentary controls (C) during the training period. CS mRNA levels and enzymatic activities of the soleus and ventricle muscles were determined. Training resulted in higher CS mRNA levels in both the soleus muscles (21% increase in T(1); 18% increase in T(48), P < 0.05) and ventricle muscles (23% increase in T(1); 17% increase in T(48), P < 0.05) when compared with the C group. The CS enzyme activities were 42 (P < 0.01) and 25% (P < 0.01) greater in the soleus muscles of T(1) and T(48) groups, respectively, when compared with that of the C group. Soleus CS enzyme activity was significantly greater in the T(1) vs. T(48) groups (P < 0.05). However, no appreciable alterations in CS enzyme activities were observed in the ventricle muscles in both training groups. These findings suggest differential responses of skeletal and cardiac muscles in CS enzymatic activity but similar responses in CS gene expression at 1 and 48 h after the last session of endurance training. Moreover, our data support the existence of an acute effect of exercise on the training-induced elevation in CS activity in rat soleus but not ventricle muscles.  相似文献

Compensatory metabolic adaptations induced in streptozotocin-diabetic rat skeletal muscle by submaximal endurance training have been investigated. The gastrocnemius muscles of sedentary streptozotocin-diabetic rats were found to have a lower than normal myoglobin content, succinate dehydrogenase activity, and capacity to oxidize pyruvate and palmitate-1-[14C]. The values of these parameters were significantly increased in the diabetic skeletal muscle by the training program, obtaining levels similar to those of normal sedentary animals.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether chronic exercise training is associated with increased vascular flow capacity and capillary exchange capacity in skeletal muscles. One group of male Sprague-Dawley rats was cage confined for a period of 13-17 wk (sedentary control, C) and a second was trained for 1 h/day at a speed of 30 m/min up a 5 degrees incline for 13-17 wk (exercise trained, ET). Studies were conducted with maximally dilated (papaverine) isolated hindquarters of 13 C rats and 10 ET rats perfused with Tyrode's solution containing 5% albumin. Vascular flow capacity was estimated by measuring total and regional flows at three to five different perfusion pressures. Capillary exchange capacity was estimated by measuring maximal capillary filtration coefficients and capillary diffusion capacity for 51Cr-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (51Cr-EDTA). The efficacy of the training was shown by significant increases in succinate dehydrogenase activities of the vastus intermedius muscle. Total hindquarter flow capacity was 50% higher in the ET rats. Regional flow data indicated that the higher total flow was due to increased muscle flow (85%), with the high-oxidative muscle tissue having the greatest increases (e.g., 200% increase in red gastrocnemius muscle). The maximal capillary diffusion capacity values for the ET rats were 70% greater than control values. However, the capillary filtration capacity values of the C and ET rats were not different. We conclude that the vascular transport capacity of the high-oxidative areas of extensor muscles is increased by endurance training.  相似文献

Interorgan cooperativity in carnitine metabolism in the trained state   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of chronic exercise training on carnitine acetyl- and palmitoyltransferase activity and the distribution of carnitine forms and concentrations in various organs and tissues of female rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were swim trained 6 days/wk and progressed to 75-min swims twice daily (with 3% of their total body weight attached to the medial portion of the tail) at the end of 5 wk of training. Sedentary (S, n = 12) and trained (T, n = 13) animals were killed by decapitation, and the livers, kidneys, hearts, and several skeletal muscle types were removed and immediately frozen in liquid N2 and/or extracted for enzyme activity assays. Blood was collected and plasma was stored frozen. Samples were assayed for free, acid-soluble, and acid-insoluble carnitine. Free carnitine increased significantly (P less than 0.03) in T hearts. Free carnitine remained unchanged in liver, but short-chain acylcarnitines increased significantly (P less than 0.001). There was a significant (P less than 0.001) reduction in long-chain acylcarnitines in kidney in the trained rats, and plasma short-chain acylcarnitine levels also decreased (P less than 0.001). Several significant changes in carnitine distribution also occurred in the superficial and deep portions of the vastus lateralis and in the mixed gastrocnemius muscles. There was a significant reduction in carnitine acetyltransferase activity with training in both the soleus (P less than 0.02) and superficial gastrocnemius (P less than 0.002) muscles. The deep portion of the gastrocnemius muscle contained significantly higher activity than either the superficial portion or the soleus.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

There are currently no models of exercise that recruit and train muscles, such as the rat spinotrapezius, that are suitable for transmission intravital microscopic investigation of the microcirculation. Recent experimental evidence supports the concept that running downhill on a motorized treadmill recruits the spinotrapezius muscle of the rat. Based on these results, we tested the hypothesis that 6 wk of downhill running (-14 degrees grade) for 1 h/day, 5 days/wk, at a speed of up to 35 m/min, would 1) increase whole body peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2 peak)), 2) increase spinotrapezius citrate synthase activity, and 3) reduce the fatigability of the spinotrapezius during electrically induced 1-Hz submaximal tetanic contractions. Trained rats (n = 6) elicited a 24% higher Vo(2 peak) (in ml.min(-1).kg(-1): sedentary 58.5 +/- 2.0, trained 72.7 +/- 2.0; P < 0.001) and a 41% greater spinotrapezius citrate synthase activity (in mumol.min(-1).g(-1): sedentary 14.1 +/- 0.7, trained 19.9 +/- 0.9; P < 0.001) compared with sedentary controls (n = 6). In addition, at the end of 15 min of electrical stimulation, trained rats sustained a greater percentage of the initial tension than their sedentary counterparts (control 34.3 +/- 3.1%, trained 59.0 +/- 7.2%; P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that downhill running is successful in promoting training adaptations in the spinotrapezius muscle, including increased oxidative capacity and resistance to fatigue. Since the spinotrapezius muscle is commonly used in studies using intravital microscopy to examine microcirculatory function at rest and during contractions, our results suggest that downhill running is an effective training paradigm that can be used to investigate the mechanisms for improved microcirculatory function following exercise training in health and disease.  相似文献

The effect of progressive, low-intensity endurance training on regulatory enzyme activities in slow-twitch (ST) and fast-twitch (FT) muscle fibres was studied in 32 rats. Of those rats 16 were trained on a treadmill at a running speed of 10m · min–1 5 days a week over an 8-week period. Running time was progressively increased from 15 min to 2 h · day–1. Of the rats 4 trained and 4 sedentary rats were also subjected to acute exhausting exercise. Enzyme activities of phosphofructokinase 1 (PFKI) from glycolysis, -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (-KGDH) from the Krebs cycle and carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT I and II) from fatty acid metabolism in soleus, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles were measured in trained and sedentary rats. Enzyme activities of individual ST and FT fibres were measured from the freeze-dried gastrocnemius muscle of 8 trained and 8 sedentary rats. In the sedentary rats the activity of PFK1 in tibialis anterior and soleus muscles was 141% and 41% of the activity in gastrocnemius muscle, respectively. The activity of -KGDH in tibialis anterior and soleus muscles was 164% and 278% of the activity in gastrocnemius muscle, respectively. The activity of CPT I in tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles were at the same level, but in soleus muscle the activity was 127% of that in mixed muscle. Endurance training increased enzyme activities of -KGDH and CPT I significantly (P < 0.05) in gastrocnemius muscle but not in soleus or tibialis anterior muscle. After training both -KGDH and CPT II activities were elevated significantly (P < 0.05) in the ST fibres of gastrocnemius muscle, whereas in FT fibres only -KGDH was increased. For PFK1 activity no significant change was observed in ST or FT fibres. After acute exercise, activities of mitochondrial enzymes -KGDH and CPT I tended to be elevated in all muscles. Thus, low-intensity endurance training induced significant peripheral changes in regulatory enzyme activities in oxidative and fatty acid metabolism in individual ST or FT muscle fibres.  相似文献

The effects of endurance exercise training on adipose tissue have been investigated in female lean Zucker rats. Adult trained rats (TR) were followed throughout a swimming program of 5 wk and were compared with a littermate control sedentary group (SED). Data were collected on days 0, 14, 24, and 36 of the training program. Body weight gain and cumulative food intake were significantly lower in TR than in SED (P less than 0.05). Gastrocnemius citrate synthase activity was increased in TR by day 14 of training (P less than 0.05) and was followed by a second significant increase between days 24 and 36 (P less than 0.05). Although inguinal (ING), parametrial (PAR), and retroperitoneal (RP) cell sizes were decreased by the swimming program (P less than 0.05), adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was suppressed (P less than 0.05) by training during the first 24 days in PAR and RP depots only. Thereafter, PAR and RP LPL activities increased in TR animals (P less than 0.05) to reach values similar to SED at the end of the study. These results further establish the regionally specific response of adipose tissue metabolism to endurance training. They also suggest that, when fat cell triacylglycerol depletion reaches a smaller level, LPL activity could be involved in the process of stabilizing fat cell size.  相似文献

The effects of endurance training on PGE (2) levels and upon the maximal activity of hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) system were studied in rats bearing the Walker 256 carciosarcoma. Animals were randomly assigned to a sedentary control (SC), sedentary tumor-bearing (ST), exercised control (EC), and as an exercised tumor-bearing (ET) group. Trained rats ran on a treadmill (60% VO (2) max) for 60 min/day, 5 days/week, for 8 weeks. We examined the mRNA expression (RT-PCR) and maximal activity (radioassay) of the carnitine palmitoyltransferase system enzymes (CPT I and CPT II), as well as the gene expression of fatty-acid-binding protein (L-FABP) in the liver. PGE (2) content was measured in the serum, in tumor cells, and in the liver (ELISA). CPT I and CPT II maximal activity were decreased (p<0.01) in ST when compared with SC. In contrast, serum PGE (2) was increased (p<0.05) in cachectic animals as compared with SC. In the liver, PGE (2) content was also increased (p<0.05) when compared with SC. Endurance training restored maximal CPT I and CPT II activity in the tumor-bearing animals (p<0.0001). Exercise training induced PGE (2) levels to return to control values in the liver of tumor-bearing training rats (p<0.05) and decreased the eicosanoid content in the tumor (p<0.01). In conclusion, endurance training was capable of reestablishing liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) system activity associated with decreased PGE (2) levels in cachectic tumor-bearing animals, preventing steatosis.  相似文献

The present study tests the hypothesis that endurance exercise training (ETr) reverses age-associated alterations in expression of Na+-K+-ATPase subunit isoforms in rat skeletal muscles. Expression of the isoforms was examined in 16-mo-old sedentary middle-aged, 29-mo-old sedentary senescent, and 29-mo-old treadmill exercise-trained senescent Fischer 344 x Brown Norway rats. Levels of the alpha1-isoform increased with age in red gastrocnemius (GR), white gastrocnemius (GW), and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, and ETr further increased its levels. Levels of the alpha2-isoform were unchanged in GR, had a strong trend for a decrease in GW, and decreased significantly in EDL. ETr increased expression of the alpha2-isoform in all three muscle groups. There was no increase in expression of the beta1-isoform in GR, GW, or EDL with age, whereas ETr markedly increased its levels in the muscles. There was a marked decrease with age in expression of the beta2-isoform in the muscle groups that was not reversed by ETr. By contrast, beta3-isoform levels increased with age in GR and GW, and ETr was able to reverse this increase. Na+-K+-ATPase enzyme activity was unchanged with age in GR and GW but increased in EDL. ETr increased enzyme activity in GR and GW and did not change in EDL. Myosin heavy chain isoforms in the muscle groups did not change significantly with age; ETr caused a general shift toward more oxidative fibers. Thus ETr differentially modifies age-associated alterations in expression of Na+-K+-ATPase subunit isoforms, and a mechanism(s) other than physical inactivity appears to play significant role in some of the age-associated changes.  相似文献

Previous studies of endurance exercise training in older men and women generally have found only minimal skeletal muscle adaptations to training. To evaluate the possibility that this may have been due to an inadequate training stimulus, we studied 23 healthy older (64 +/- 3 yr) men and women before and after they had trained by walking/jogging at 80% of maximal heart rate for 45 min/day 4 days/wk for 9-12 mo. This training program resulted in a 23% increase in maximal O2 consumption. Needle biopsy samples of the lateral gastrocnemius muscle were obtained before and after training and analyzed for selected histochemical and enzymatic characteristics. The percentage of type I muscle fibers did not change with training. The percentage of type IIb fibers, however, decreased from 19.1 +/- 9.1 to 15.1 +/- 8.1% (P less than 0.001), whereas the percentage of type IIa fibers increased from 22.1 +/- 7.7 to 29.6 +/- 9.1% (P less than 0.05). Training also induced increases in the cross-sectional area of both type I (12%; P less than 0.001) and type IIa fibers (10%; P less than 0.05). Capillary density increased from 257 +/- 43 capillaries/mm2 before training to 310 +/- 48 capillaries/mm2 after training (P less than 0.001) because of increases in the capillary-to-fiber ratio and in the number of capillaries in contact with each fiber. Lactate dehydrogenase activity decreased by 21% (P less than 0.001), whereas the activities of the mitochondrial enzymes succinate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase increased by 24-55% in response to training (P less than 0.001-0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a heme precursor that accumulates in acute intermittent porphyria patients and lead-exposed individuals, has previously been shown to autoxidize with generation of reactive oxygen species and to cause in vitro oxidative damage to rat liver mitochondria. We now demonstrate that chronically ALA-treated rats (40 mg/kg body wt every 2 days for 15 days) exhibit decreased mitochondrial enzymatic activities (superoxide dismutase, citrate synthase) in liver and soleus (type I, red) and gastrocnemius (type IIb, white) muscle fibers. Previous adaptation of rats to endurance exercise, indicated by augmented (cytosolic) CuZn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and (mitochondrial) Mn-SOD activities in several organs, does not protect the animals against liver and soleus mitochondrial damage promoted by intraperitoneal injections of ALA. This is suggested by loss of citrate synthase and Mn-SOD activities and elevation of serum lactate levels, concomitant to decreased glycogen content in soleus and the red portion of gastrocnemius (type IIa) fibers of both sedentary and swimming-trained ALA-treated rats. In parallel, the type IIb gastrocnemius fibers, which are known to obtain energy mainly by glycolysis, do not undergo these biochemical changes. Consistently, ALA-treated rats under swimming training reach fatigue significantly earlier than the control group. These results indicate that ALA may be an important prooxidant in vivo.  相似文献

Recent research suggests that LKB1 is the major AMP-activated protein kinase kinase (AMPKK). Peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a master coordinator of mitochondrial biogenesis. Previously we reported that skeletal muscle LKB1 protein increases with endurance training. The purpose of this study was to determine whether training-induced increases in skeletal muscle LKB1 and PGC-1alpha protein exhibit a time course and intensity-dependent response similar to that of citrate synthase. Male Sprague-Dawley rats completed endurance- and interval-training protocols. For endurance training, rats trained for 4, 11, 25, or 53 days. Interval-training rats trained identically to endurance-trained rats, except that after 25 days interval training was combined with endurance training. Time course data were collected from endurance-trained red quadriceps (RQ) after each time point. Interval training data were collected from soleus, RQ, and white quadriceps (WQ) muscle after 53 days only. Mouse protein 25 (MO25) and PGC-1alpha protein increased significantly after 4 days. Increased citrate synthase activity, increased LKB1 protein, and decreased AMPKK activity were found after 11 days. Maximal increases occurred after 4 days for hexokinase II, 25 days for MO25, and 53 days for citrate synthase, LKB1, and PGC-1alpha. In WQ, but not RQ or soleus, interval training had an additive effect to endurance training and induced significant increases in all proteins measured. These results demonstrate that LKB1 and PGC-1alpha protein abundances increase with endurance and interval training similarly to citrate synthase. The increase in LKB1 and PGC-1alpha with endurance and interval training may function to maintain the training-induced increases in mitochondrial mass.  相似文献
