The direct data concerning effects of unloading on dystrophic muscle were received in study of mdx mice, a model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, muscles before and after hindlimb suspension. Experiments were performed on softer skinned soleus muscle fibers isolated from wild-type (C57black) as a control and mdx mice aged 2 weeks. Animals of two experimental groups were tail suspended during 21 days. In both groups of hindlimb suspended mice isolated soleus fibers were thinner than in the control groups. But there was a greater 37% significant decrease in fiber diameter in wild-type (CHS) suspended mice vs. 24% in mdx (MHS) suspended group. Values of absolute peak tension in CHS were less than in the control group by 33%, and in MHS mice suspended--by 39%. 21 days of hindlimb suspension resulted in reduction of mean peak specific tension by 28% in MHS and significantly less drop (15%) in CHS groups. We observed a similar rightward shift of the tension pCa curve in both mice strains. 相似文献

Exposure to microgravity in humans causes cardiovascular deconditioning affecting blood pressure, heart rate and vascular
responsiveness. This study investigated cardiac output, arterial blood pressure and regional blood flows [radioactive microspheres:
57Co, 15.5 (SEM 0.1) μm in diameter] in conscious and freely moving rats subjected to 14 days of simulated microgravity (head-down
suspension, HDS) in male Wistar rats: control (horizontally attached, n = 7), suspended for 14 days (n = 8) and suspended/allowed to recover for 10 min (R10min, n = 5) or 24 h (n = 9). Compared to the control group, 14 days of HDS resulted in reduced total peripheral resistance (37%); an increased cardiac
index (65%) was associated with no significant change in the mean arterial pressure . There were elevated brain (63%), visceral (>20%), hindlimb (>80%) and forelimb (>215%) muscle blood flows. In the R10min
group, the decreased (18%) and the regional blood flows returned to control values. Within 24 h the as well as cardiac index and total peripheral resistance were restored. In conclusion, 14 days of HDS engendered local circulatory
changes resulting in transient blood pressure instability during recovery.

Total energy expenditure (TEE) of rats during simulated microgravity is unknown. The doubly labeled water method (DLW) reliably measures TEE, but the results depend on the methods of calculation. These methods were validated and appraised by indirect calorimetry in eight rats during isolation (7 days) and simulated microgravity (10 days). There were no effects on CO(2) production in the method used to derive constant flux rates as in the regression models. r(CO(2)) estimates were dependent on the assumed fractionation processes, the derivation of constant flux rate methods, and the selected pool models. Use of respiratory or food quotients did not influence TEE estimations, which were similar during isolation and simulation. During either isolation with growth or simulation with a stabilized mass, the one-pool model of Speakman (Speakman JR. Doubly Labelled Water. Theory and Practice. London: Chapman and Hall, 1997) resulted in the more reliable validation (0.8 +/- 2.2 and 2.2 +/- 3.4% vs. calorimetry, respectively). However, during simulation, agreement was also observed with the single pool model of Lifson (Lifson N, Gordon GB, and McClintock R. J Appl Physiol 7: 704-710, 1955) (-2.5 +/- 2.5%), and two two-pool models [Schoeller (Schoeller DA. J Nutr 118: 1278-1289, 1988) (0.5 +/- 3.1%) and Speakman (Speakman, JR. Doubly Labelled Water. Theory and Practice. London: Chapman and Hall, 1997) (-1.9 +/- 2.7%)]. This latter finding seems linked to the stable body mass and to fractionation consideration close to the single-pool model of Speakman. During isolation or simulated microgravity, the other equations underestimated TEE by 10-20%. 相似文献

We observed a significant increase in plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in antiorthostatic hypokinetic suspension (AOH) rats after 2 h of suspension when the experiment was made during day. Plasma ANF was investigated in relation to renal glomerular ANF receptors during AOH at night. The aim of this study was 1) to compare the day and night ANF responses to AOH 2) to determine whether the renal glomerular ANF receptors are involved. The rats were divided into 2 groups: i) 24 population cage (PC), and ii) 24 were attached by the tail (Morey's model) and remained in the horizontal position (attached horizontal-AH). Six AH were suspended (30 degrees) for 2 hours (AOH) and sacrificed with the controls: PC and AH (12.00h). The same experiment was made during the night (24.00h). A significant increase in plasma ANF was found in both AOH and AH after 2 h of suspension during day and night (19 +/- 2.3 pg/ml vs 9 +/- 0.95 and 18 +/- 3 pg/ml vs 10.2 +/- 1.8 respectively). PC rats had a significantly higher ANF level (38 +/- 5 pg/ml) than AH or AOH. The glomerular ANF receptor population was slightly lower in AOH than in AH (429 +/- 12 fmol/mg protein vs 507 +/- 5) during day. During night, a significantly lower number of ANF receptors was observed in AOH animals as compared to AH (168 +/- 2 fmol/mg protein vs 455 +/- 3). A decrease in glomerular receptors was also noted in PC during night. Day-time head-down tilt, bed rest or head-out water induced a natriuretic and diuretic response, whereas the normal recumbency at night does not lead to such effects. We conclude that the natriuretic and diuretic response not observed during night was associated with elevated plasma ANF levels and decreased ANF receptor density. 相似文献

Total free-living energy expenditure (TEE) was measured in 9 normal weight controls and 5 obese women using the doubly labeled water (DLW) method. Resting energy expenditure (REE) and the thermic effect of food (TEF) were measured by indirect calorimetry and the energy cost of physical activity (PA) calculated by deduction, in order to quantify the components and identify determinants of free-living TEE. Although REE was quantitatively the major component of TEE in both groups, PA best explained the variability, contributing 76% to the variance in free-living TEE. The obese women had elevated values for TEE (12397+/-2565 vs. 8339+/-1787 kJ/d, mean+/-SD; p<0.00S), compared with the control women. PA (5071+/-2385 vs. 2552+/-1452; p<0.0S) and REE (6393+/-678 vs. 5084+/-259; p<0.000S) were also raised in the obese, whereas TEF was not significantly different between the groups, accounting for 7.6% of energy expenditure for the obese and 8% for the control subjects. Body weight was the single best determinant of mean daily free-living TEE across both groups. We conclude that PA and body weight are the main determinants of free-living TEE . 相似文献

The effects of a 3-day tail suspension on central and peripheral sympathetic activity were studied in rats by determining the in vivo noradrenaline (NA) turnover in the brain cell groups involved in central blood pressure control (A1, A2, A5 and A6) and in two peripheral organs, heart and kidneys. In addition, cardiovascular parameters and their variabilities were investigated by recording blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) before and after suspension. These measurements were processed by spectrum analysis to assess the influence of tail suspension on autonomic balance. The NA turnover in the suspended rats was markedly reduced in A2 (–49%, P<0.01) and A5 (–38%, P<0.01) nuclei but unchanged in A1 and A6 cell groups compared with the control rats. Peripheral NA turnover was decreased in cardiac atria (–44%, P<0.001) and ventricles (–27%, P<0.01) while it was unchanged in kidneys after suspension. The BP, HR and their variabilities were similar in both groups of animals and showed no changes after suspension compared with baseline values. Spectrum analysis of BP and HR in our conscious suspended rats revealed no changes in power spectrum density or in peak frequencies. The discrepancy between the decrease in central sympathetic activity and the absence of changes in cardiovascular parameters after tail suspension raises the question of the validity of the tail suspended rat model when studying the cardiovascular deconditioning observed in humans after an exposure to actual or simulated weightlessness. 相似文献

To characterize the temporal expression of genes that play a functional role during the process of osteoblast adhesion, we used differential display (DD-PCR) on mRNA isolated from attached vs. suspended osteoblasts. A 200-bp fragment displaying upregulated expression after 30 and 60 min adhesion was isolated, sequenced, and showed 97% homology to prtb, previously showed to be expressed in mouse brain. Northern analysis confirmed a two-fold increase in prtb message during adhesion to tissue culture polystyrene, both in the presence or absence of surface-adsorbed serum proteins. Serum stimulation alone was also able to induce prtb expression, although to a lesser extent, in suspension cells. Strong prtb expression was also detected in both brain and bone of adult rats. Furthermore, prtb expression analysis during MC3T3-E1 cell differentiation revealed high expression levels independent of proliferation (day 0-7), matrix maturation (day 7-14), and mineralization (day 14-31). Time course analysis of prtb expression during adhesion of sensitized osteoblasts to serum-protein coated surfaces showed robust mRNA expression at 5 min post-plating and a peak at 10 min. The two known serum-inducible immediate early genes c-fos and c-jun showed similar expression kinetics, with c-jun mRNA levels peaking at 15 min and c-fos at 20 min. Based on these data, we hypothesize that prtb may function as an immediate early, serum-responsive, and adhesion-inducible gene with possible involvement in processes such as cell cycle control, adhesion, and proliferation. 相似文献

Physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) is a determinant of prognosis and fitness in older patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). PAEE and total energy expenditure (TEE) are closely related to fatness, physical function, and metabolic risk in older individuals. The goal of this study was to assess effects of resistance training on PAEE, TEE, and fitness in older women with chronic CHD and physical activity limitations (N = 51, mean age: 72 + 5 yr). The study intervention consisted of a progressive, 6-mo program of resistance training vs. a control group condition of low-intensity yoga and deep breathing. The study interventions were completed by 42 of the 51 participants. The intervention group manifested a 177 +/- 213 kcal/day (+9%) increase in TEE, pre- to posttraining, measured by the doubly labeled water technique during a nonexercise 10-day period (P < 0.03 vs. controls). This was due to a 50 +/- 74 kcal/day (4%) increase in resting metabolic rate measured by indirect calorimetry (P < 0.01, P < 0.05 vs. controls) and a 123 +/- 214 kcal/day (9%) increase in PAEE (P < 0.03, P = 0.12 vs. controls). Resistance training was associated with significant increases in upper and lower body strength, but no change in fat-free mass, measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry, or left ventricular function, measured by echocardiography and Doppler. Women in the control group showed no alterations in TEE or its determinants. There were no changes between groups in body composition, aerobic capacity, or measures of mental depression. These results demonstrate that resistance training of 6-mo duration leads to an increase in TEE and PAEE in older women with chronic CHD. 相似文献

Calorie restriction (CR) is a component of most weight loss interventions and a potential strategy to slow aging. Accurate determination of energy intake and %CR is critical when interpreting the results of CR interventions; this is most accurately achieved using the doubly labeled water method to quantify total energy expenditure (TEE). However, the costs and analytical requirements of this method preclude its repeated use in many clinical trials. Our aims were to determine 1) the optimal TEE assessment time points for quantifying average energy intake and %CR during long-term CR interventions and 2) the optimal approach for quantifying short-term changes in body energy stores to determine energy intake and %CR during 2-wk DLW periods. Adults randomized to a CR intervention in the multicenter CALERIE study underwent measurements of TEE by doubly labeled water and body composition at baseline and months 1, 3, and 6. Average %CR achieved during the intervention was 24.9 ± 8.7%, which was computed using an approach that included four TEE assessment time points (i.e., TEE(baseline, months 1, 3, and 6)) plus the 6-mo change in body composition. Approaches that included fewer TEE assessments yielded %CR values of 23.4 ± 9.0 (TEE(baseline,) months 3 and 6), 25.0 ± 8.7 (TEE(baseline,) months 1 and 6), and 20.9 ± 7.1% (TEE(baseline, month 6)); the latter approach differed significantly from approach 1 (P < 0.001). TEE declined 9.6 ± 9.9% within 2-4 wk of CR beginning and then stabilized. Regression of daily home weights provided the most reliable estimate of short-term change in energy stores. In summary, optimal quantification of energy intake and %CR during weight loss necessitates a TEE measurement within the first month of CR to capture the rapid reduction in TEE. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that hindlimb suspension increases the fatigability of the soleus during intense contractile activity and determine whether the increased fatigue is associated with a reduced muscle blood flow. Cage-control (C) and 15-day hindlimb-suspended (HS) rats were anesthetized, and either the gastrocnemius-plantaris-soleus (G-P-S) muscle group or the soleus was stimulated (100 Hz, 100-ms trains at 120/min) for 10 min in situ. In the G-P-S preparation, blood flow was measured with radiolabeled microspheres before and at 2 and 10 min of contractile activity. The G-P-S fatigued markedly at this stimulation frequency, and the differences between C and HS animals were not significant until the 9th min of contractile activity. In contrast, the stimulation resulted in faster rates and significantly larger amounts of fatigue in the soleus from HS than from C animals. The atrophied soleus showed significant differences by 1 min of stimulation (C = 70 +/- 1% vs. HS = 57 +/- 2% of peak train force) and remained different at 10 min (C = 64 +/- 4% vs. HS = 45 +/- 2% peak train force). Relative blood flow to the soleus was similar between groups before and during contractile activity (rest: C = 20 +/- 3 vs. HS = 12 +/- 3; 2 min: C = 128 +/- 6 vs. HS = 118 +/- 4; 10 min: C = 123 +/- 11 vs. HS = 105 +/- 11 ml.min-1.100 g-1). In conclusion, these results established that 15 days of HS increased the fatigability of the soleus, but the effect was not caused by a reduced muscle blood flow. 相似文献

The contractile properties of the postural soleus muscle were studied in rats at the early stage of gravitational unloading (three-day hindlimb suspension) with regard to different modes of muscle contraction (twitch and tetanic contraction of the isolated muscle and calcium-induced contraction of isolated skinned fibers). A significant (p < 0.01) enhancement of the peak twitch tension of the muscles of suspended rats without changes in time-dependent characteristics was observed, although the half-relaxation time tended to decrease. The fiber diameter did not change (42.37 ± 0.76 vs. 43.43 ± 1.15 μm in controls). The calcium-induced peak isometric tensions in control and unloaded soleus muscles were 37.6 ± 1.52 and 32.1 ± 1.05 mg, respectively (decrease significant at p < 0.05). No changes in threshold calcium concentration were recorded, but the pCa50 value in unloaded muscles decreased from 6.05 ± 0.02 in controls to 5.97 ± 0.02 (p ≤ 0.05), indicating loss of myofibrillar calcium sensitivity. The cooperativity coefficient ηn in control animals was 3.46 ± 0.16, and in suspended ones it decreased to 3.08 ± 0.11 (p < 0.05). Analysis with the Fluo-4AM calcium probe demonstrated that the intracellular Ca2+ concentration increased significantly after hindlimb suspension, whereas the relative contents of titin or nebulin did not change. 相似文献

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) induces the hybridization of mammalian cells at a much higher frequency when the cells are attached to a substrate during treatment than when the cells are treated in suspension. Since many cell types, e.g., lymphocytes, cannot attach to a substrate, a new technique for the PEG-induced fusion of cells in suspension was developed. This technique, referred to as "pancake fusion," is based on the centrifugation of suspended cells onto a coverslip and the PEG treatment of the cells on the coverslip as if they were attached to a substrate. With this technique, the frequency of hybridization of human white blood cells, which are incapable of attaching to a substrate, can be greatly increased. 相似文献

Male rodents were studied before and after undergoing one of three treatment conditions for 9 days: 1) cage control (n = 15, CON), 2) horizontal suspension (n = 15, HOZ), and 3) head-down suspension (n = 18, HDT). Testing included measurements of maximal O2 uptake (VO2 max) and select cardiovascular responses to graded treadmill exercise. VO2 max expressed on an absolute basis (ml/min) was significantly decreased after HOZ (-14.1 +/- 2.5%) and HDT (-14.3 +/- 2.0%), while being essentially unchanged in CON (-1.0 +/- 3.3%). Significant reductions in body weight were observed after both HOZ (-10.1 +/- 4.2 g) and HDT (-22.5 +/- 3.3 g), whereas CON animals exhibited a significant increase in weight (10.4 +/- 3.8 g). As a result, when VO2 max was normalized for body weight, all groups exhibited similar significant reductions of 6-7%. Although no differences in heart rate and blood pressure response to graded exercise were observed, the HDT group exhibited greater increases in mesenteric resistance at the same absolute exercise intensity. Furthermore, both suspended groups had higher iliac resistance values during exercise at similar relative exercise conditions, suggesting that muscle blood flow during treadmill running may have been reduced after suspension. In general, the decrements associated with the HOZ and HDT conditions were similar. It was concluded that reduction in exercise capacity and altered cardiovascular responses to exercise observed after 6-9 days of suspension were attributable to a combination of hypokinesia, lack of hindlimb weight bearing, or restraint, rather than to hydrostatic influences associated with HDT. 相似文献

PAPAMANDJARIS, ANDREA A., MATTHEW D. WHITE, AND PETER J. H. JONES. Components of total energy expenditure in healthy young women are not affected after 14 days of feeding with medium-versus long-chain triglycerides. Obes Res. Objective: To examine the effect of consumption of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) vs. long-chain triglycerides (LCT) on total energy expenditure (TEE) and its components in young women during the second week of a 2-week feeding period. Research Methods and Procedures: Twelve healthy lean women (age: 22. 7±0. 7 years, body mass index [BMI]: 21. 5±0. 8 kg/m2) were fed weight maintenance diets containing 15% of energy as protein, 45% as carbohydrate, and 40% as fat, 80% of which was treatment fat, for 2 weeks in a randomized cross-over design separated by a 2-week washout period. Dietary fat was composed of triglycerides containing either 26% medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) and 74% long-chain fatty acids (LCFA), or 2% MCFA and 98% LCFA. Free-living TEE was measured from day 7 to 14 on each dietary treatment using doubly labeled water (DLW). Basal metabolic rate (BMR) and thermic effect of food (TEF) were measured on days 7 and 14 using respiratory gas exchange analysis (RGE) for 30 minutes and 330 minutes, respectively. Activity-induced energy expenditure (AIEE) was derived as the difference between TEE and the sum of BMR and TEF. Results: The average TEE while consuming the MCT diet (2246±98 kcal/day) did not differ from that of the LCT diet (2186±138 kcal/day. BMR was significantly higher on the MCT diet on day 7 (1219±38 kcal/day vs. 1179±42 kcall day), but not on day 14; there was no effect of diet on TEF. There were no differences in BMR, TEF, or AIEE between diets when expressed as percentages of TEE. On average, BMR, TEF, and AIEE represented 54. 6%, 8. 2%, and 37. 2%, respectively, of TEE. Discussion: Results suggest that between day 7 and day 14 feeding of MCT vs. LCT at these levels, TEE is not affected and that increases seen in energy expenditure following MCT feeding may be of short duration. Thus, compensatory mechanisms may exist which blunt the effect of MCT on energy components over the longer term. 相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that inhibitor of differentiation-2 (Id2), p53, and heat shock proteins (HSP) are responsive to suspension-induced muscle atrophy. Fourteen days of hindlimb suspension were used to unload the hindlimbs and induce atrophy in gastrocnemius muscles of young adult and aged rats. Following suspension, medial gastrocnemius muscle wet weight was reduced by approximately 30%, and the muscle wet weight normalized to the animal body weight decreased by 11 and 15% in young adult and aged animals, respectively. mRNA abundances of Id2, p53, HSP70-2, and HSP27 did not change with suspension, whereas HSP70-1 mRNA content was lower in the suspended muscle compared with the control muscle in both young adult and aged animals. Our immunoblot analyses indicated that protein expressions of HSP70 and HSP60 were not different between suspended and control muscles in both ages, whereas HSP27 protein content was increased in suspended muscle relative to control muscle only in young adult animals. Id2 and p53 protein contents were elevated in the cytosolic fraction of suspended muscle compared with the control muscle in both young and aged animals, but these changes were not found in the nuclear protein fraction. Furthermore, compared with young adult, aged muscles had a lower HSP70-1 mRNA content but higher HSP70-2 mRNA content and protein contents of Id2, p53, HSP70, and HSP27. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that Id2 and p53 are responsive to unloading-induced muscle atrophy. Moreover, our data indicate that aging is accompanied with altered abundances of HSP70-1 and HSP70-2 mRNA, in addition to Id2, p53, HSP70, and HSP27 protein in rat gastrocnemius muscle. 相似文献

Investigation of peripheral blood cell count alterations in cases with hypersplenism, and an understanding of the relationship between splenic function and hematopoietic cell production require suitable experimental animal models. Previously described methods are either traumatic or require surgical intervention. We suggest a relatively simple method for achievement of a state mimicking hypersplenism in mice by intraperitoneal inoculation of syngeneic spleen cells. Mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with 3 x 10(7) splenocytes suspended in 0.3 ml phosphate buffered saline (PBS). After 2 months, the inoculated animals showed a progressive decrease in the peripheral white blood cell (WBC) counts and hyperplastic bone marrow that persisted until the experimental end point (7 months). Five days after inoculation of splenocytes stained with carboxy-fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE), the majority of the stained cells was present in the peritoneal cavity (33%) and in the liver (13%), whereas the percentage of stained cells in the peripheral blood and the spleen cell suspension was negligible. The mitogen response of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from treated mice to concanavalin A (Con A) remained unaltered. Splenocyte-inoculated mice that were further splenectomized did not show leukocytosis after splenectomy, as was observed in animals in which the spleen was removed without any pretreatment. The lack of any signs of discomfort in animals from the study group, in comparison with the visibly ill appearance and even death of mice in which hypersplenism was achieved by repeated injections of methylcellulose (MC), which served as controls, favors the convenience of the method. 相似文献

Nonexercising muscles appear to be metabolically active during exercise. Animal models for this purpose have not been established. However, we have been able to teach animals to run on their forelimbs while their hindlimbs are suspended above the treadmill with no visible limb movement. To document that indeed this mode of exercise does not provoke additional muscle activity, we have compared the levels of neural activation of the soleus and plantaris muscles using a computer analysis of the electromyographic interference pattern, recorded from bipolar fine wire electrodes implanted across each muscle. Via computer analyses of the electromyographic interference patterns the frequencies and amplitudes of motor unit action potentials were obtained. The data were sampled during 20 s of every minute of observation. Comparisons were made in four conditions: (i) resting on the treadmill while bearing weight on the hindlimbs (normal rest), (ii) running on the treadmill (15 m/min, 8% grade) on all four limbs (normal exercise), (iii) resting while the hindlimbs were suspended in a harness above the treadmill (suspended rest), and (iv) exercising with the forelimbs (15 m/min, 8% grade) while the hindlimbs were suspended above the treadmill (suspended exercise). All four experimental conditions were carried out for 90 min each and were performed by each animal. The results clearly show that muscle activities (frequencies and amplitudes), when the hindlimbs are suspended above the treadmill, at rest or during exercise, are lower than the activities in these same muscles when the animals are at rest, supporting only their body weight. Activities in the same muscles during exercise were from 300 to 2000% greater than during hindlimb suspension.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We evaluated whether acute anemia results in altered blood glucose utilization during sustained exercise at 26.8 m/min on 0% grade, which elicited approximately 60-70% maximal O2 consumption. Acute anemia was induced in female Sprague-Dawley rats by isovolumic plasma exchange transfusion. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were reduced 33% by exchange transfusion to 8.6 +/- 0.4 g/dl and 26.5 +/- 1%, respectively. Glucose kinetics were determined by primed continuous infusion of [6-3H]glucose. Rates of O2 consumption were similar during rest (pooled means 25.1 +/- 1.8 ml.kg-1.min-1) and exercise (pooled means 46.8 +/- 3.0 ml.kg-1.min-1). Resting blood glucose and lactate concentrations were not different in anemic animals (pooled means 5.1 +/- 0.2 and 0.9 +/- 0.02 mM, respectively). Exercise resulted in significantly decreased blood glucose (4.0 +/- 0.2 vs. 4.6 +/- 0.1 mM) and elevated lactate (6.1 +/- 0.4 vs. 2.3 +/- 0.5 mM) concentrations in anemic animals. Glucose turnover rates (Rt) were not different between anemic and control animals at rest and averaged 58.8 +/- 3.6 mumol.kg-1.min-1. Exercise resulted in a 30% greater increase in Rt in anemic (141.7 +/- 3.2 mumol.kg-1.min-1) than in control animals (111.2 +/- 5.2 mumol.kg-1.min-1). Metabolic clearance rates (MCR = Rt/[glucose]) were not different at rest (11.6 +/- 7.4) but were significantly greater in anemic (55.2 +/- 5.7 ml.kg-1.min-1) than in control animals (24.3 +/- 1.4 ml.kg-1.min-1) during exercise.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of 14- day hindlimb suspension (HS) and subsqquent reloading (3 or 7 days) on the m. soleus mass, muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), soleus fiber properties and serum IGF-1 in rats. Rats were hindlimb suspended for 14 days or kept as controls (C, n = 7). Soleus muscles were isolated after HS (HS, n = 7) or after reambulation for either three (R3, n = 5) or seven days (R7, n = 6). Frozen serial sections of m. soleus were stained by primary monoclonal antibodies against MHCI. For measurement of concentration IGF-1 in the blood serum, test-system for IFA DSL-10-2800 Non-Extraction IGF-1 ELISA was used. Muscle mass was significantly reduced in HS (-35 %) but subsequently increased with reloading in R3 (-10 % to C) and was recovered to control values in R7 (+5 % to C). Fiber CSA was significantly reduced (-43 %) in HS and was greater in R7 than in HS and slightly greater than in R3. 14 days of HS resulted in a mean maximal tension reduced by 35 %. After 7 days of subsequent reloading the mean maximal specific tension was still low (-33 % to C) and didn't differ from HS level. The level in blood IGF-1 has obviously decreased during 14-day unloading by 48 %, remained at the same level in R3, and increased 10 fold in R7. 相似文献
