To examine how different kinds of activity affect the composition and contractile properties of aging skeletal muscle, old male rats were strength and swim trained. The mass of weights lifted during the strength training increased by 85 +/- 9% (P less than 0.05), which was accompanied by an increase by 32 +/- 5% (P less than 0.05) of the estimated force developed. The wet muscle weight of the soleus and the plantaris decreased significantly with age. The phenomenon was counteracted but not neutralized by the strength training. Twitch and tetanic tension also decreased significantly with age in both the soleus and plantaris muscle. This was avoided by the strength training. This training also significantly decreased time to peak tension and half-relaxation time of both muscles. The swim training increased the heart-to-body weight ratio by 21 +/- 5% (P less than 0.05) and the endurance of the soleus muscle. Time to peak tension and triosephosphate dehydrogenase activity of the plantaris muscle were strongly correlated (P less than 0.001) with myosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity. The results show that the composition and contractile properties of old skeletal muscle are considerably affected by strength training repeated during a substantial period of old age, whereas swim training only affects the endurance of the skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Parasitism in skeletal muscles and myositis are commonly observed during experimental Trypanosoma cruzi infection. The effect of T. cruzi infection on contractile properties of skeletal muscles in consecutive periods of the acute infection in BALB/c mice was studied. Albarrada strain (clone 4) which was isolated in Mexico and has demonstrated a high level of blood parasitemia and parasitism in skeletal muscles was used. Isolated strips of rectus abdominis muscle were subjected to direct electrical field in vitro. Alternatively, plantaris muscles were stimulated in situ through the sciatic nerve. The peak amplitudes of a single twitch and tetanus contractions were considered to estimate the mechanical properties of muscles. Histopathological analysis was performed to correlate functional changes with the evolution of tissue parasitism and tissue injury. Contractile properties of muscles were significantly attenuated during acute T. cruzi infection. The percentage of damaged muscles rather than the character of tissue pathology affected their contractile properties significantly. 相似文献

We compared the changes in monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) and 4 (MCT4) proteins in heart and skeletal muscles in sedentary control and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats (3 wk) and in trained (3 wk) control and STZ-induced diabetic animals. In nondiabetic animals, training increased MCT1 in the plantaris (+51%; P < 0.01) but not in the soleus (+9%) or the heart (+14%). MCT4 was increased in the plantaris (+48%; P < 0.01) but not in the soleus muscles of trained nondiabetic animals. In sedentary diabetic animals, MCT1 was reduced in the heart (-30%), and in the plantaris (-31%; P < 0.01) and soleus (-26%) muscles. MCT4 content was also reduced in sedentary diabetic animals in the plantaris (-52%; P < 0.01) and soleus (-25%) muscles. In contrast, in trained diabetic animals, MCT1 and MCT4 in heart and/or muscle were similar to those of sedentary, nondiabetic animals (P > 0.05) but were markedly greater than in the sedentary diabetic animals [MCT1: plantaris +63%, soleus +51%, heart +51% (P > 0.05); MCT4: plantaris +107%, soleus +17% (P > 0.05)]. These studies have shown that 1) with STZ-induced diabetes, MCT1 and MCT4 are reduced in skeletal muscle and/or the heart and 2) exercise training alleviated these diabetes-induced reductions. 相似文献

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) mRNA is constitutively expressed in skeletal muscle. Although IL-15 has proposed hypertrophic and anti-apoptotic roles in vitro, its role in skeletal muscle cells in vivo is less clear. The purpose of this study was to determine if skeletal muscle aging and unloading, two conditions known to promote muscle atrophy, would alter basal IL-15 expression in skeletal muscle. We hypothesized that IL-15 mRNA expression would increase as a result of both aging and muscle unloading and that muscle would express the mRNA for a functional trimeric IL-15 receptor (IL-15R). Two models of unloading were used in this study: hindlimb suspension (HS) in rats and wing unloading in quail. The absolute muscle wet weight of plantaris and soleus muscles from aged rats was significantly less when compared with muscles from young adult rats. Although 14 days of HS resulted in reduced muscle mass of plantaris and soleus muscles from young adult animals, this effect was not observed in muscles from aged animals. A significant aging times unloading interaction was observed for IL-15 mRNA in both rat soleus and plantaris muscles. Patagialis (PAT) muscles from aged quail retained a significant 12 and 6% of stretch-induced hypertrophy after 7 and 14 days of unloading, respectively. PAT muscles from young quail retained 15% hypertrophy at 7 days of unloading but regressed to control levels following 14 days of unloading. A main effect of age was observed on IL-15 mRNA expression in PAT muscles at 14 days of overload, 7 days of unloading, and 14 days of unloading. Skeletal muscle also expressed the mRNAs for a functional IL-15R composed of IL-15R, IL-2/15R-, and -c. Based on these data, we speculate that increases in IL-15 mRNA in response to atrophic stimuli may be an attempt to counteract muscle mass loss in skeletal muscles of old animals. Additional research is warranted to determine the importance of the IL-15/IL-15R system to counter muscle wasting. atrophy; interleukins; sarcopenia; gene signaling 相似文献

Histochemical and contractile properties of developing rat soleus (Sol) and plantaris (P) muscles were studied after hindlimb suspension to determine the effects of reduced activity levels on muscle development. Suspension (S) began at age 18 days and lasted for 14, 28, and 206 days, and results were compared with age-matched controls. Body weights were normal until 14 days and Sol growth was inhibited more than P, weighing 38 and 47% of controls at 46 and 224 days compared with 68 and 59% in P. The Sol did not develop into a slow-twitch (ST) muscle as evidenced by faster times to peak tension and half-relaxation times, faster times to develop 50% of maximum tetanic tension (Po) and a mean of 33% fewer ST fibers. Twitch tension and Po were lower in S-Sol and S-P, but force/cross-sectional area was unchanged. Fiber areas were smaller, but no structural changes characteristic of disuse atrophy were found. Fiber type populations were unchanged in P, and contractile properties were only minimally affected, demonstrating the greater importance of activity for ST muscles during development. 相似文献

The effects of hypergravity (HG) on soleus and plantaris muscles were studied in Long Evans rats aged 100 days, born and reared in 2-g conditions (HG group). The morphological and contractile properties and the myosin heavy chain (MHC) content were examined in whole muscles and compared with terrestrial control (Cont) age-paired rats. The growth of HG rats was slowed compared with Cont rats. A decrease in absolute muscle weight was observed. An increase in fiber cross-sectional area/muscle wet weight was demonstrated, associated with an increase in relative maximal tension. The soleus muscle changed into a slower type both in contractile parameters and in MHC content, since HG soleus contained only the MHC I isoform. The HG plantaris muscle presented a faster contractile behavior. Moreover, the diversity of hybrid fiber types expressing multiple MHC isoforms (including MHC IIB and MHC IIX isoforms) was increased in plantaris muscle after HG. Thus the HG environment appears as an important inductor of muscular plasticity both in slow and fast muscle types. 相似文献

β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a leucine metabolite shown to reduce protein catabolism in disease states and promote skeletal muscle hypertrophy in response to loading exercise. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of HMB to reduce muscle wasting and promote muscle recovery following disuse in aged animals. Fisher 344×Brown Norway rats, 34 mo of age, were randomly assigned to receive either Ca-HMB (340 mg/kg body wt) or the water vehicle by gavage (n = 32/group). The animals received either 14 days of hindlimb suspension (HS, n = 8/diet group) or 14 days of unloading followed by 14 days of reloading (R; n = 8/diet group). Nonsuspended control animals were compared with suspended animals after 14 days of HS (n = 8) or after R (n = 8). HMB treatment prevented the decline in maximal in vivo isometric force output after 2 wk of recovery from hindlimb unloading. The HMB-treated animals had significantly greater plantaris and soleus fiber cross-sectional area compared with the vehicle-treated animals. HMB decreased the amount of TUNEL-positive nuclei in reloaded plantaris muscles (5.1% vs. 1.6%, P < 0.05) and soleus muscles (3.9% vs. 1.8%, P < 0.05). Although HMB did not significantly alter Bcl-2 protein abundance compared with vehicle treatment, HMB decreased Bax protein abundance following R, by 40% and 14% (P < 0.05) in plantaris and soleus muscles, respectively. Cleaved caspase-3 was reduced by 12% and 9% (P < 0.05) in HMB-treated reloaded plantaris and soleus muscles, compared with vehicle-treated animals. HMB reduced cleaved caspase-9 by 14% and 30% (P < 0.05) in reloaded plantaris and soleus muscles, respectively, compared with vehicle-treated animals. Although, HMB was unable to prevent unloading-induced atrophy, it attenuated the decrease in fiber area in fast and slow muscles after HS and R. HMB's ability to protect against muscle loss may be due in part to putative inhibition of myonuclear apoptosis via regulation of mitochondrial-associated caspase signaling. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin in situ 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Myosin light chain (P light chain) is phosphorylated by Ca2+ X calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase. Based on studies with rat skeletal muscles, it has been shown that P light chain phosphorylation correlated to the extent of potentiation of isometric twitch tension. It is not clear whether this correlation exists in rabbit skeletal muscle, which has been the primary source of contractile proteins for biochemical studies. Therefore, phosphorylation of myosin P light chain in rabbit slow-twitch soleus and fast-twitch plantaris muscles in situ was examined. Electrical stimulation (5 Hz, 20 seconds) of plantaris muscle produced an increase in the phosphate content of P light chain from 0.17 to 0.45 mol phosphate/mol P light chain. This increase in phosphate content was accompanied by a 58% increase in maximal isometric twitch tension. Tetanic stimulation (100 Hz, 15 seconds) of rabbit soleus muscle resulted in only a small increase in P light chain phosphate content from 0.02 to 0.10 mol phosphate/mol P light chain, and posttetanic twitch tension did not increase significantly. The correlation between potentiated isometric twitch tension and P light chain phosphorylation in rabbit fast-twitch muscle is similar to that observed in rat skeletal muscle. These results were consistent with the hypothesis that phosphorylation of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin, which results in an increase in actin-activated ATPase activity, may be related to isometric twitch potentiation. 相似文献

Diabetes induces changes in the structural, biochemical, electrical, and contractile properties of skeletal muscles. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) administered locally can induce angiogenesis in a rat ischemic limb model and restore the contractile function of the ischemic muscle. The effects of NPY on the contractile characteristics of limb skeletal muscles were examined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Rats were treated with sham pellets (control groups) or NPY-containing pellets (1 mg of NPY/pellet, 14 days releasing time) administered locally to the rat hind limb 2 months after induction of diabetes. Contractile properties and fatigability of the slow-twitch soleus and fast-twitch gastrocnemius medials muscle were compared in control (sham), control NPY, diabetic (sham), and diabetic NPY groups. In order to induce fatigue trains of repetitive tetanic stimulation were used (600 ms/1 s simulation-rest cycle per train, 112 trains at an 85-Hz fusion frequency). Two months of untreated diabetes significantly prolonged soleus contraction and slowed its relaxation, but had minimal effects on soleus tension. NPY ameliorated the diabetic effects on soleus speed-related contractile properties, restoring its contraction and relaxation times. Diabetes significantly reduced gastrocnemius medials tetanic tension, leaving its contractile characteristics mostly unaffected. NPY partially restored gastrocnemius tetanic tension production capacity. Diabetes significantly increased fatigability of both muscles, which was partially restored by NPY, as evidenced by restored endurance of soleus muscle. The results suggest that NPY administered locally tends to normalize muscle performance and improve fatigue resistance of skeletal muscles in streptozotocin diabetes. Further examination is needed to establish the mechanisms of local NPY action on muscle contractile properties in streptozotocin-induced diabetes. 相似文献

To study the effects of a prolonged (80 day), severe (64% body mass loss) energy restriction and subsequent refeeding on
skeletal muscle tissue, specifically the plantaris muscle, 21 genetically obese Zucker rats were selected for this study.
Six rats were initially killed and served as baseline (BASE), then 15 rats underwent severe energy restriction for 80 days.
Seven of these restricted rats (RESTRICT) were then killed and assessed while the other eight rats (REHAB) were fed a dry
rehabilitation diet that provided 100% of the recommended energy and 1.5 times the recommended protein for growth. Once the
REHAB rats had recovered approximately 45% of their original mass loss, these animals were then evaluated. Within 20 min after
being killed, the plantaris muscles from each animal in each group had been removed, weighed, and frozen. Analyses included
total plantaris mass, as well as differences in fiber diameters, esterase activity, and fiber type distributions between three
groups (BASE, RESTRICT, and REHAB). The extreme body mass loss of 64% in genetically obese Zucker rats resulted in significant
tissue weight loss and reduced fiber diameters in the plantaris muscle. Refeeding resulted in larger muscle fiber diameters
that approached baseline values but an 11% difference in muscle weight remained and may be due to a decreased fiber number.
Esterase activity seemed to indicate an initial fat utilization for the RESTRICT group, followed by suppressed esterase activity
in the REHAB group, suggesting increased fat storage. No significant differences were found in fiber type distribution between
BASE, RESTRICT, or REHAB animals.

Increasing evidence supports a negative role of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) in regulation of skeletal muscle glucose transport. We assessed the effects of chronic treatment of insulin-resistant, prediabetic obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats with a highly selective GSK-3 inhibitor (CT118637) on glucose tolerance, whole body insulin sensitivity, plasma lipids, skeletal muscle insulin signaling, and in vitro skeletal muscle glucose transport activity. Obese Zucker rats were treated with either vehicle or CT118637 (30 mg/kg body wt) twice per day for 10 days. Fasting plasma insulin and free fatty acid levels were reduced by 14 and 23% (P < 0.05), respectively, in GSK-3 inhibitor-treated animals compared with vehicle-treated controls. The glucose response during an oral glucose tolerance test was reduced by 18% (P < 0.05), and whole body insulin sensitivity was increased by 28% (P < 0.05). In vivo insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) tyrosine phosphorylation (50%) and IRS-1-associated phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase (79%) relative to fasting plasma insulin levels were significantly elevated (P < 0.05) in plantaris muscles of GSK-3 inhibitor-treated animals. Whereas basal glucose transport in isolated soleus and epitrochlearis muscles was unaffected by chronic GSK-3 treatments, insulin stimulation of glucose transport above basal was significantly enhanced (32-60%, P < 0.05). In summary, chronic treatment of insulin-resistant, prediabetic obese Zucker rats with a specific GSK-3 inhibitor enhances oral glucose tolerance and whole body insulin sensitivity and is associated with an amelioration of dyslipidemia and an improvement in IRS-1-dependent insulin signaling in skeletal muscle. These results provide further evidence that selective targeting of GSK-3 in muscle may be an effective intervention for the treatment of obesity-associated insulin resistance. 相似文献

A functional index of neural adaptability is the capacity of motoneurons to extend and establish supernumerary connections with neighboring denervated muscle fibers. The purpose of this study was to guage this response in rat plantaris muscles subjected to increased levels of activity resulting from the surgical removal of the synergistic gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Thirty-seven days of overload increased plantaris absolute (69%) and relative (82%) weight, whole muscle (35%) and individual fiber (37%) mean cross-sectional area, half-relaxation time (1/2RT; 25%), and maximum tetanic tension (P0; 21%). In a separate group of animals that had undergone 30 days of overload, three-quarters of the plantaris muscle fibers were denervated by sectioning radicular nerve L4. At 7 days postlesion, contractile responses were obtained from sprouting motor units remaining in radicular nerve L5, and the results compared to a nonoverloaded group that had undergone this same procedure. Twitch time to peak tension and 1/2RT were prolonged in normal partially denervated (PD) and overloaded partially denervated (OPD) muscles, and this response was significantly greater in the overloaded muscles. Both PD and OPD muscles increased twitch tension (38%) and peak tension developed at 25 Hz (34%) to a similar extent, during recovery from partial denervation. These increases, attributable to sprouting of L5 motor axon collaterals, were matched in PD muscles with a corresponding increase in P0, a response which did not occur in OPD muscles. Additionally, a more extensive decrease in P0 occurred as a result of partial denervation in OPD muscles compared with whole muscle P0 of nondenervated muscle (L4 plus L5 stimulation).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effect of age on skeletal muscle anaerobic energy metabolism was investigated in adult (11 mo) and aged (25 mo) Fischer 344 rats. Hindlimb skeletal muscles innervated by the sciatic nerve were stimulated to contract with trains of supramaximal impulses (100 ms, 80 Hz) at a train rate of 1 Hz for 60 s, with an occluded circulation. Soleus, plantaris, and red and white gastrocnemius (WG) were sampled from control and stimulated limbs. All muscle masses were reduced with age (9-13%). Peak isometric tensions, normalized per gram of wet muscle, were lower throughout the stimulation in the aged animals (28%). The potential for anaerobic ATP provision was unaltered with age in all muscles, because resting high-energy phosphates and glycogen contents were similar to adult values. Anaerobic ATP provision during stimulation was unaltered by aging in soleus, plantaris, and red gastrocnemius muscles. In the WG, containing mainly fast glycolytic (FG) fibers, ATP and phosphocreatine contents were depleted less in aged muscle. In situ glycogenolysis and glycolysis were 90.0 +/- 4.8 and 69.3 +/- 2.6 mumol/g dry muscle (dm) in adult WG and reduced to 62.3 +/- 6.9 and 51.5 +/- 5.5 mumol/g dm, respectively, in aged WG. Consequently, total anaerobic ATP provision was lower in aged WG (224.5 +/- 20.9 mumol/g dm) vs. adult (292.6 +/- 7.6 mumol/g dm) WG muscle. In summary, the decreased tetanic tension production in aged animals was associated with a decreased anaerobic energy production in FG fibers. Reduced high-energy phosphate use and a greater energy charge potential after stimulation suggested that the energy demand was reduced in aged FG fibers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

No effects of lifelong creatine supplementation on sarcopenia in senescence-accelerated mice (SAMP8)
Derave W Eijnde BO Ramaekers M Hespel P 《American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and metabolism》2005,289(2):E272-E277
Oral creatine supplementation can acutely ameliorate skeletal muscle function in older humans, but its value in the prevention of sarcopenia remains unknown. We evaluated the effects of lifelong creatine supplementation on muscle mass and morphology, contractility, and metabolic properties in a mouse model of muscle senescence. Male senescence-accelerated mice (SAMP8) were fed control or creatine-supplemented (2% of food intake) diet from the age of 10 to 60 wk. Soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles were tested for in vitro contractile properties, creatine content, and morphology at weeks 25 and 60. Both muscle types showed reduced phosphocreatine content at week 60 that could not be prevented by creatine. Accordingly, age-associated decline in muscle mass and contractility was not influenced by treatment. Aged soleus muscles had fewer and smaller fast-twitch glycolytic fibers irrespective of treatment received. It is concluded that lifelong creatine supplementation is no effective strategy to prevent sarcopenia in senescence-accelerated mice. 相似文献

To evaluate the need for phosphocreatine as an energy reservoir to sustain isometric contraction of skeletal muscle, rats were depleted of phosphocreatine by feeding β-GPA (β-guanidinopropionate) as 1% of the diet. In the place of phosphocreatine, β-GPAP (phosphorylated β-GPA) accumulated to concentrations of 20–25 μmoles/g wet weight of muscle. Although the maximum isometric tension produced by the soleus was always less than that produced by the plantaris muscle, the maximum for either muscle was not significantly affected by feeding β-GPA. The endurance of experimental soleus muscles was prolonged, however. These muscles held 70% of their maximum isometric tension for 106 ± 40 seconds (mean ± SD, n = 4) whereas the value for five control muscles was 43 ± 18 seconds. With fatiguing, isometric contractions of control plantaris and soleus muscles, phosphocreatine concentrations decreased by 68–70%; in experimental muscles, the β-GPA concentration decreased less than 12%. This difference in phosphagen consumption demonstrates that skeletal muscle can sustain fatiguing, isometric contractions without using large amounts of phosphocreatine or a substitute phosphagen as an energy reservoir. Phosphocreatine hydrolysis during muscle contraction normally may serve some other purpose. 相似文献

The obese Zucker rat (OZR) is a model of metabolic syndrome, which has lower skeletal muscle size than the lean Zucker rat (LZR). Because satellite cells are essential for postnatal muscle growth, this study was designed to determine whether reduced satellite cell proliferation contributes to reduced skeletal mass in OZR vs. LZR. Satellite cell proliferation was determined by a constant-release 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) pellet that was placed subcutaneously in each animal. Satellite cell proliferation, as determined by BrdU incorporation, was significantly attenuated in control soleus and plantaris muscles of the OZR compared with that shown in the LZR. To determine whether this attenuation of satellite cell activity could be rescued in OZR muscles, soleus and gastrocnemius muscles were denervated, placing a compensatory load on the plantaris muscle. In the LZR and the OZR after 21 days of loading, increases of approximately 25% and approximately 30%, respectively, were shown in plantaris muscle wet weight compared with that shown in the contralateral control muscle. The number of BrdU-positive nuclei increased similarly in loaded plantaris muscles from LZR and OZR. Myogenin, MyoD, and Akt protein expressions were lower in control muscles of OZR than in those of the LZR, but they were all elevated to similar levels in the loaded plantaris muscles of OZR and LZR. These data indicate that metabolic syndrome may reduce satellite cell proliferation, and this may be a factor that contributes to the reduced mass in control muscles of OZR; however, satellite cell proliferation can be restored with compensatory loading in OZR. 相似文献

To investigate the effects of microgravity on murine skeletal muscle fiber size, muscle contractile protein, and enzymatic activity, female C57BL/6J mice, aged 64 days, were divided into animal enclosure module (AEM) ground control and spaceflight (SF) treatment groups. SF animals were flown on the space shuttle Endeavour (STS-108/UF-1) and subjected to approximately 11 days and 19 h of microgravity. Immunohistochemical analysis of muscle fiber cross-sectional area revealed that, in each of the muscles analyzed, mean muscle fiber cross-sectional area was significantly reduced (P < 0.0001) for all fiber types for SF vs. AEM control. In the soleus, immunohistochemical analysis of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform expression revealed a significant increase in the percentage of muscle fibers expressing MHC IIx and MHC IIb (P < 0.05). For the gastrocnemius and plantaris, no significant changes in MHC isoform expression were observed. For the muscles analyzed, no alterations in MHC I or MHC IIa protein expression were observed. Enzymatic analysis of the gastrocnemius revealed a significant decrease in citrate synthase activity in SF vs. AEM control. 相似文献

ANG II mediates the hypertrophic response of overloaded cardiac muscle, likely via the ANG II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor. To examine the potential role of ANG II in overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy, plantaris and/or soleus muscle overload was produced in female Sprague-Dawley rats (225-250 g) by the bilateral surgical ablation of either the synergistic gastrocnemius muscle (experiment 1) or both the gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles (experiment 2). In experiment 1 (n = 10/group), inhibiting endogenous ANG II production by oral administration of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor during a 28-day overloading protocol attenuated plantaris and soleus muscle hypertrophy by 57 and 96%, respectively (as measured by total muscle protein content). ACE inhibition had no effect on nonoverloaded (sham-operated) muscles. With the use of new animals (experiment 2; n = 8/group), locally perfusing overloaded soleus muscles with exogenous ANG II (via osmotic pump) rescued the lost hypertrophic response in ACE-inhibited animals by 71%. Furthermore, orally administering an AT(1) receptor antagonist instead of an ACE inhibitor produced a 48% attenuation of overload-induced hypertrophy that could not be rescued by ANG II perfusion. Thus ANG II may be necessary for optimal overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy, acting at least in part via an AT(1) receptor-dependent pathway. 相似文献

Effect of different sources of dietary protein on muscle hypertrophy in functionally overloaded mice
Shinya Aoyama Rina Hirooka Takeru Shimoda Shigenobu Shibata 《Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports》2019
Dietary protein intake is important for skeletal muscle protein synthesis. In this study, we investigated the differential effect of protein sources on hypertrophy of plantaris muscle induced by surgical ablation of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Six-week old mice were fed diets containing caseinate, whey, or soy as protein sources for 2 weeks. Plantaris muscle hypertrophy was induced by a unilateral ablation of synergistic muscles after a week. Food intake of soy protein-fed mice was higher than that of caseinate and whey-fed mice, resulting in higher body and fat weights. Plantaris muscle weight in sham-operated mice was not different across the groups. Overload-operated plantaris muscle weight and increased ratio of overloaded muscle to sham-operated muscle weights were higher in caseinate-fed mice than in whey- and soy protein-fed mice, suggesting caseinate as a promising protein source for muscle hypertrophy. 相似文献
