In contrast to their exercise-trained counterparts, the maximal oxidative rate of skeletal muscle in sedentary humans appears not to benefit from supplemental O(2) availability but is impacted by severe hypoxia, suggesting a metabolic limitation either at or below ambient O(2) levels. However, the critical level of O(2) availability at which maximal metabolic rate is reduced in sedentary humans is unknown. Using (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy and arterial oximetry, phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery kinetics and arterial oxygenation were assessed in six sedentary subjects performing 5-min bouts of plantar flexion exercise followed by 6 min of recovery. Each trial was repeated while breathing one of four different fractions of inspired O(2) (FI(O(2))) (0.10, 0.12, 0.15, and 0.21). The PCr recovery rate constant (a marker of oxidative capacity) was unaffected by reductions in FI(O(2)), remaining at a value of 1.5 +/- 0.2 min(-1) until arterial O(2) saturation (Sa(O(2))) fell to less than approximately 92%, the average value reached breathing an FI(O(2)) of 0.15. Below this Sa(O(2)), the PCr rate constant fell significantly by 13 and 31% to 1.3 +/- 0.2 and 1.0 +/- 0.2 min(-1) (P < 0.05) as Sa(O(2)) was reduced to 82 +/- 3 and 77 +/- 2%, respectively. In conclusion, this study has revealed that O(2) availability does not impact maximal oxidative rate in sedentary humans until the O(2) level falls well below that of ambient air, indicating a metabolic limitation in normoxia.  相似文献

In skeletal muscle, phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery from submaximal exercise has become a reliable and accepted measure of muscle oxidative capacity. During exercise, O2 availability plays a role in determining maximal oxidative metabolism, but the relationship between O2 availability and oxidative metabolism measured by 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) during recovery from exercise has never been studied. We used 31P-MRS to study exercising human gastrocnemius muscle under conditions of varied fractions of inspired O2 (FIO2) to test the hypothesis that varied O2 availability modulates PCr recovery from submaximal exercise. Six male subjects performed three bouts of 5-min steady-state submaximal plantar flexion exercise followed by 5 min of recovery in a 1.5-T magnet while breathing three different FIO2 concentrations (0.10, 0. 21, and 1.00). Under each FIO2 treatment, the PCr recovery time constants were significantly different, being longer in hypoxia [33. 5 +/- 4.1 s (SE)] and shorter in hyperoxia (20.0 +/- 1.8 s) than in normoxia (25.0 +/- 2.7 s) (P 相似文献

Time-resolved 31-phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) of the biceps femoris muscles was performed during exercise and recovery in six healthy sedentary male subjects (maximal oxygen uptake; 46.6 +/- 1.7 (SEM) ml.kg-1.min-1), 5 male sprinters (56.2 +/- 2.5), and 5 male long-distance runners (73.6 +/- 2.2). Each performed 4 min of knee flexion exercises at absolute values of 1.63 W and 4.90 W, followed by 5 min of recovery in a prone position in a 2.1 T superconducting magnet with a 67 cm bore. 31P-MRS spectra were recorded every 12.8 s during the rest-exercise-recovery sequence. Computer-aided contour analysis and pixel imaging of phosphocreatine peaks (PCr) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) were performed. The work loads in the present study were selected as mild exercise (1.63 W) and heavy exercise (4.90 W), corresponding to 18-23% and 54-70% of maximal exercise intensity. Long-distance runners showed a significantly smaller decrement in PCr and less acidification at a given exercise intensity compared to those shown by sedentary subjects. The transient responses of PCr and Pi during recovery were characterized by first-order kinetics. After exercise, the recovery rates of PCr and Pi were significantly faster in long-distance runners than in sedentary subjects (P < 0.05). Since it is postulated that PCr resynthesis is controlled by aerobic metabolism and mitochondrial creatine kinase, it is suggested that the faster PCr and Pi recovery rates and decreased acidification seen in long-distance runners during and after exercise might be attributed to their greater capacity for aerobic metabolism.  相似文献

We tested whether preferred running event in track athletes would correlate with the initial rate of phosphocreatine (PCr) resynthesis following submaximal exercise. PCr recovery was measured in the calf muscles of 16 male track athletes and 7 male control subjects following 5 min of repeated plantar flexion against resistance. Pi, PCr, and pH were measured using phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) with an 8-cm surface coil in a 1.8-T magnet. During exercise, work levels were gradually increased to deplete PCr to 50-60% of the initial value. No drop in pH was seen in any of the subjects during this exercise. The areas of the PCr peaks following exercise were fit to monoexponential curves. Two or three tests were performed on each subject and the results averaged. Athletes were divided into three groups based on their primary event: sprinters running 400 m or less, middle-distance athletes running 400-1500 m, and long-distance athletes running farther than 1500 m. The maximal rates of PCr resynthesis (mmol.min-1.kg-1 muscle weight) were 64.8 +/- 8.6, for long-distance runners; 41.4 +/- 11, for middle-distance runners; 32.0 +/- 7.0, for sprinters; and 38.6 +/- 10, for controls (mean +/- SE). The faster PCr recovery rates seen in long-distance runners compared with sprinters indicate greater oxidative capacity, which is consistent with the known differences between athletes in these events.  相似文献

Acclimatization to hypoxia has minimal effect on maximal O2 uptake (Vo2 max). Prolonged hypoxia shows reductions in cardiac output (Q), maximal heart rate (HR-max), myocardial beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) density, and chronotropic response to isoproterenol. This study tested the hypothesis that exercise training (ET), which attenuates beta-AR downregulation, would increase HRmax and Q of acclimatization and result in higher Vo2 max. After 3 wk of ET, rats lived at an inspired Po2 of 70 Torr for 10 days (acclimatized trained rats) or remained in normoxia, while both groups continued to train in normoxia. Controls were sedentary acclimatized and nonacclimatized rats. All rats exercised maximally in normoxia and hypoxia (inspired Po2 of 70 Torr). Myocardial beta-AR density and the chronotropic response to isoproterenol were reduced, and myocardial cholinergic receptor density was increased after acclimatization; all of these receptor changes were reversed by ET. Normoxic Vo2 max (in ml.min-1.kg-1) was 95.8 +/- 1.0 in acclimatized trained (n = 6), 87.7 +/- 1.7 in nonacclimatized trained (P < 0.05, n = 6), 74.2 +/- 1.4 in acclimatized sedentary (n = 6, P < 0.05), and 72.5 +/- 1.2 in nonacclimatized sedentary (n = 8; P > 0.05 acclimatized sedentary vs. nonacclimatized sedentary). A similar distribution of Vo2 max values occurred in hypoxic exercise. Q was highest in trained acclimatized and nonacclimatized, intermediate in nonacclimatized sedentary, and lowest in acclimatized sedentary groups. ET preserved Q in acclimatized rats thanks to maintenance of HRmax as well as of maximal stroke volume. Q preservation, coupled with a higher arterial O2 content, resulted in the acclimatized trained rats having the highest convective O2 transport and Vo2 max. These results show that ET attenuates beta-AR downregulation and preserves Q and Vo2 max after acclimatization, and support the idea that beta-AR downregulation partially contributes to the limitation of Vo2 max after acclimatization in rats.  相似文献

It was demonstrated that acute hypoxia increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) by using a microneurographic method at rest, but its effects on dynamic leg exercise are unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify changes in MSNA during dynamic leg exercise in hypoxia. To estimate peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2 peak)), two maximal exercise tests were conducted using a cycle ergometer in a semirecumbent position in normoxia [inspired oxygen fraction (Fi(O(2)) = 0.209] and hypoxia (Fi(O(2)) = 0.127). The subjects performed four submaximal exercise tests; two were MSNA trials in normoxia and hypoxia, and two were hematological trials under each condition. In the submaximal exercise test, the subjects completed two 15-min exercises at 40% and 60% of their individual Vo(2 peak) in normoxia and hypoxia. During the MSNA trials, MSNA was recorded via microneurography of the right median nerve at the elbow. During the hematological trials, the subjects performed the same exercise protocol as during the MSNA trials, but venous blood samples were obtained from the antecubital vein to assess plasma norepinephrine (NE) concentrations. MSNA increased at 40% Vo(2 peak) exercise in hypoxia, but not in normoxia. Plasma NE concentrations did not increase at 40% Vo(2 peak) exercise in hypoxia. MSNA at 40% and 60% Vo(2 peak) exercise were higher in hypoxia than in normoxia. These results suggest that acute hypoxia augments muscle sympathetic neural activation during dynamic leg exercise at mild and moderate intensities. They also suggest that the MSNA response during dynamic exercise in hypoxia could be different from the change in plasma NE concentrations.  相似文献

To evaluate the effect of endurance training on ventilatory function in older individuals, 1) 14 master athletes (MA) [age 63 +/- 2 yr (mean +/- SD); maximum O2 uptake (VO2max) 52.1 +/- 7.9 ml . kg-1 . min-1] were compared with 14 healthy male sedentary controls (CON) (age 63 +/- 3 yr; VO2max of 27.6 +/- 3.4 ml . kg-1 . min-1), and 2) 11 sedentary healthy men and women, age 63 +/- 2 yr, were reevaluated after 12 mo of endurance training that increased their VO2max 25%. MA had a significantly lower ventilatory response to submaximal exercise at the same O2 uptake (VE/VO2) and greater maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), maximal exercise ventilation (VEmax), and ratio of VEmax to MVV than CON. Except for MVV, all of these parameters improved significantly in the previously sedentary subjects in response to training. Hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) at rest and the ventilatory equivalent for CO2 (VE/VCO2) during submaximal exercise were similar for MA and CON and unaffected by training. We conclude that the increase in VE/VO2 during submaximal exercise observed with aging can be reversed by endurance training, and that after training, previously sedentary older individuals breathe at the same percentage of MVV during maximal exercise as highly trained athletes of similar age.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of severe acute hypoxia on exercise performance and metabolism during 30-s Wingate tests. Five endurance- (E) and five sprint- (S) trained track cyclists from the Spanish National Team performed 30-s Wingate tests in normoxia and hypoxia (inspired O(2) fraction = 0.10). Oxygen deficit was estimated from submaximal cycling economy tests by use of a nonlinear model. E cyclists showed higher maximal O(2) uptake than S (72 +/- 1 and 62 +/- 2 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.05). S cyclists achieved higher peak and mean power output, and 33% larger oxygen deficit than E (P < 0.05). During the Wingate test in normoxia, S relied more on anaerobic energy sources than E (P < 0.05); however, S showed a larger fatigue index in both conditions (P < 0.05). Compared with normoxia, hypoxia lowered O(2) uptake by 16% in E and S (P < 0.05). Peak power output, fatigue index, and exercise femoral vein blood lactate concentration were not altered by hypoxia in any group. Endurance cyclists, unlike S, maintained their mean power output in hypoxia by increasing their anaerobic energy production, as shown by 7% greater oxygen deficit and 11% higher postexercise lactate concentration. In conclusion, performance during 30-s Wingate tests in severe acute hypoxia is maintained or barely reduced owing to the enhancement of the anaerobic energy release. The effect of severe acute hypoxia on supramaximal exercise performance depends on training background.  相似文献

Exercise exacerbates acute mountain sickness. In infants and small mammals, hypoxia elicits a decrease in body temperature (Tb) [hypoxic thermal response (HTR)], which may protect against hypoxic tissue damage. We postulated that exercise would counteract the HTR and promote hypoxic tissue damage. Tb was measured by telemetry in rats (n = 28) exercising or sedentary in either normoxia or hypoxia (10% O2, 24 h) at 25 degrees C ambient temperature (Ta). After 24 h of normoxia, rats walked at 10 m/min on a treadmill (30 min exercise, 30 min rest) for 6 h followed by 18 h of rest in either hypoxia or normoxia. Exercising normoxic rats increased Tb ( degrees C) vs. baseline (39.68 +/- 0.99 vs. 38.90 +/- 0.95, mean +/- SD, P < 0.05) and vs. sedentary normoxic rats (38.0 +/- 0.09, P < 0.05). Sedentary hypoxic rats decreased Tb (36.15 +/- 0.97 vs. 38.0 +/- 0.36, P < 0.05) whereas Tb was maintained in the exercising hypoxic rats during the initial 6 h of exercise (37.61 +/- 0.55 vs. 37.72 +/- 1.25, not significant). After exercise, Tb in hypoxic rats reached a nadir similar to that in sedentary hypoxic rats (35.05 +/- 1.69 vs. 35.03 +/- 1.32, respectively). Tb reached its nadir significantly later in exercising hypoxic vs. sedentary hypoxic rats (10.51 +/- 1.61 vs. 5.36 +/- 1.83 h, respectively; P = 0.002). Significantly greater histopathological damage and water contents were observed in brain and lungs in the exercising hypoxic vs. sedentary hypoxic and normoxic rats. Thus exercise early in hypoxia delays but does not prevent the HTR. Counteracting the HTR early in hypoxia by exercise exacerbates brain and lung damage and edema in the absence of ischemia.  相似文献

Exercise-induced intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunting, as detected by saline contrast echocardiography, has been demonstrated in healthy humans. We have previously suggested that increases in both pulmonary pressures and blood flow associated with exercise are responsible for opening these intrapulmonary arteriovenous pathways. In the present study, we hypothesized that, although cardiac output and pulmonary pressures would be higher in hypoxia, the potent pulmonary vasoconstrictor effect of hypoxia would actually attenuate exercise-induced intrapulmonary shunting. Using saline contrast echocardiography, we examined nine healthy men during incremental (65 W + 30 W/2 min) cycle exercise to exhaustion in normoxia and hypoxia (fraction of inspired O(2) = 0.12). Contrast injections were made into a peripheral vein at rest and during exercise and recovery (3-5 min postexercise) with pulmonary gas exchange measured simultaneously. At rest, no subject demonstrated intrapulmonary shunting in normoxia [arterial Po(2) (Pa(O(2))) = 98 +/- 10 Torr], whereas in hypoxia (Pa(O(2)) = 47 +/- 5 Torr), intrapulmonary shunting developed in 3/9 subjects. During exercise, approximately 90% (8/9) of the subjects shunted during normoxia, whereas all subjects shunted during hypoxia. Four of the nine subjects shunted at a lower workload in hypoxia. Furthermore, all subjects continued to shunt at 3 min, and five subjects shunted at 5 min postexercise in hypoxia. Hypoxia has acute effects by inducing intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunt pathways at rest and during exercise and has long-term effects by maintaining patency of these vessels during recovery. Whether oxygen tension specifically regulates these novel pathways or opens them indirectly via effects on the conventional pulmonary vasculature remains unclear.  相似文献

We have analyzed by (31)P MRS the relationship between kinetic parameters of phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery and end-of-exercise status under conditions of moderate and large acidosis induced by dynamic exercise. Thirteen healthy subjects performed muscular contractions at 0.47 Hz (low frequency, moderate exercise) and 0.85 Hz (high frequency, heavy exercise). The rate constant of PCr resynthesis (k(PCr)) varied greatly among subjects (variation coefficients: 43 vs. 57% for LF vs. HF exercises) and protocols (k(PCr) values: 1.3+/-0.5 min(-1) vs. 0.9+/-0.5 min(-1) for LF vs. HF exercises, P<0.03). The large intersubject variability can be captured into a linear relationship between k(PCr), the amount of PCr consumed ([PCr(2)]) and pH reached at the end of exercise (pH(end)) (k(PCr)=-3.3+0.7 pH(end)-0.03 [PCr(2)]; P=0.0007; r=0.61). This dual relationship illustrates that mitochondrial activity is affected by end-of-exercise metabolic status and allows reliable comparisons between control, diseased and trained muscles. In contrast to k(PCr), the initial rate of PCr recovery and the maximum oxidative capacity were always constant whatever the metabolic conditions of end-of-exercise and can then be additionally used in the identification of dysfunctions in the oxidative metabolic pathway.  相似文献

Endurance and strength training are established as distinct exercise modalities, increasing either mitochondrial density or myofibrillar units. Recent research, however, suggests that mitochondrial biogenesis is stimulated by both training modalities. To test the training "specificity" hypothesis, mitochondrial respiration was studied in permeabilized muscle fibers from 25 sedentary adults after endurance (ET) or strength training (ST) in normoxia or hypoxia [fraction of inspired oxygen (Fi(O(2))) = 21% or 13.5%]. Biopsies were taken from the musculus vastus lateralis, and cycle-ergometric incremental maximum oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) exercise tests were performed under normoxia, before and after the 10-wk training program. The main finding was a significant increase (P < 0.05) of fatty acid oxidation capacity per muscle mass, after endurance and strength training under normoxia [2.6- and 2.4-fold for endurance training normoxia group (ET(N)) and strength training normoxia group (ST(N)); n = 8 and 3] and hypoxia [2.0-fold for the endurance training hypoxia group (ET(H)) and strength training hypoxia group (ST(H)); n = 7 and 7], and higher coupling control of oxidative phosphorylation. The enhanced lipid oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity was mainly (87%) due to qualitative mitochondrial changes increasing the relative capacity for fatty acid oxidation (P < 0.01). Mitochondrial tissue-density contributed to a smaller extent (13%), reflected by the gain in muscle mass-specific respiratory capacity with a physiological substrate cocktail (glutamate, malate, succinate, and octanoylcarnitine). No significant increase was observed in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content. Physiological OXPHOS capacity increased significantly in ET(N) (P < 0.01), with the same trend in ET(H) and ST(H) (P < 0.1). The limitation of flux by the phosphorylation system was diminished after training. Importantly, key mitochondrial adaptations were similar after endurance and strength training, regardless of normoxic or hypoxic exercise. The transition from a sedentary to an active lifestyle induced muscular changes of mitochondrial quality representative of mitochondrial health.  相似文献

The objective of these experiments was to determine whether living and training in moderate hypoxia (MHx) confers an advantage on maximal normoxic exercise capacity compared with living and training in normoxia. Rats were acclimatized to and trained in MHx [inspired PO2 (PI(O2)) = 110 Torr] for 10 wk (HTH). Rats living in normoxia trained under normoxic conditions (NTN) at the same absolute work rate: 30 m/min on a 10 degrees incline, 1 h/day, 5 days/wk. At the end of training, rats exercised maximally in normoxia. Training increased maximal O2 consumption (VO2 max) in NTN and HTH above normoxic (NS) and hypoxic (HS) sedentary controls. However, VO2 max and O2 transport variables were not significantly different between NTN and HTH: VO2 max 86.6 +/- 1.5 vs. 86.8 +/- 1.1 ml x min(-1) x kg(-1); maximal cardiac output 456 +/- 7 vs. 443 +/- 12 ml x min(-1) x kg(-1); tissue blood O2 delivery (cardiac output x arterial O2 content) 95 +/- 2 vs. 96 +/- 2 ml x min(-1) x kg(-1); and O2 extraction ratio (arteriovenous O2 content difference/arterial O2 content) 0.91 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.90 +/- 0.01. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa, mmHg) was significantly higher in HS vs. NS (P < 0.05) at rest (24.5 +/- 0.8 vs. 18.1 +/- 0.8) and during maximal exercise (32.0 +/- 0.9 vs. 23.8 +/- 0.6). Training in MHx significantly attenuated the degree of pulmonary hypertension, with Ppa being significantly lower at rest (19.3 +/- 0.8) and during maximal exercise (29.2 +/- 0.5) in HTH vs. HS. These data indicate that, despite maintaining equal absolute training intensity levels, acclimatization to and training in MHx does not confer significant advantages over normoxic training. On the other hand, the pulmonary hypertension associated with acclimatization to hypoxia is reduced with hypoxic exercise training.  相似文献

The splitting of muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) plays an integral role in the regulation of muscle O2 utilization during a "step" change in metabolic rate. This study tested the hypothesis that the kinetics of muscle PCr would be faster in children compared with adults both at the onset and offset of moderate-intensity exercise, in concert with the previous demonstration of faster phase II pulmonary O2 uptake kinetics in children. Eighteen peri-pubertal children (8 boys, 10 girls) and 16 adults (8 men, 8 women) completed repeated constant work-rate exercise transitions corresponding to 80% of the Pi/PCr intracellular threshold. The changes in quadriceps [PCr], [Pi], [ADP], and pH were determined every 6 s using 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy. No significant (P>0.05) age- or sex-related differences were found in the PCr kinetic time constant at the onset (boys, 21+/-4 s; girls, 24+/-5 s; men, 26+/-9 s; women, 24+/-7 s) or offset (boys, 26+/-5 s; girls, 29+/-7 s; men, 23+/-9 s; women 29+/-7 s) of exercise. Likewise, the estimated theoretical maximal rate of oxidative phosphorylation (Qmax) was independent of age and sex (boys, 1.39+/-0.20 mM/s; girls, 1.32+/-0.32 mM/s; men, 2.36+/-1.18 mM/s; women, 1.51+/-0.53 mM/s). These results are consistent with the notion that the putative phosphate-linked regulation of muscle O2 utilization is fully mature in peri-pubertal children, which may be attributable to a comparable capacity for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in child and adult muscle.  相似文献

In this study, the response of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to prolonged exercise, performed in normoxia (inspired O(2) fraction = 0.21) and hypoxia (inspired O(2) fraction = 0.14) was studied in homogenates prepared from the vastus lateralis muscle in 10 untrained men (peak O(2) consumption = 3.09 +/- 0.25 l/min). In normoxia, performed at 48 +/- 2.2% peak O(2) consumption, maximal Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity was reduced by approximately 25% at 30 min of exercise compared with rest (168 +/- 10 vs. 126 +/- 8 micromol.g protein(-1) x min(-1)), with no further reductions observed at 90 min (129 +/- 6 micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)). No changes were observed in the Hill coefficient or in the Ca(2+) concentration at half-maximal activity. The reduction in maximal Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity at 30 min of exercise was accompanied by oxalate-dependent reductions (P < 0.05) in Ca(2+) uptake by approximately 20% (370 +/- 22 vs. 298 +/- 25 micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)). Ca(2+) release, induced by 4-chloro-m-cresol and assessed into fast and slow phases, was decreased (P < 0.05) by approximately 16 and approximately 32%, respectively, by 90 min of exercise. No differences were found between normoxia and hypoxia for any of the SR properties examined. It is concluded that the disturbances induced in SR Ca(2+) cycling with prolonged moderate-intensity exercise in human muscle during normoxia are not modified when the exercise is performed in hypoxia.  相似文献

To isolate the peripheral adaptations to training, five normal subjects exercised the nondominant (ND) wrist flexors for 41 +/- 11 days, maintaining an exercise intensity below the threshold required for cardiovascular adaptations. Before and after training, intracellular pH and the ratio of inorganic phosphate to phosphocreatine (Pi/PCr) were measured by 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Also maximal O2 consumption (VO2 max), muscle mass, and forearm blood flow were determined by graded systemic exercise, magnetic resonance imaging, and venous occlusion plethysmography, respectively. Blood flow, Pi/PCr, and pH were measured in both forearms at rest and during submaximal wrist flexion at 5, 23, and 46 J/min. Training did not affect VO2 max, exercise blood flow, or muscle mass. Resting pH, Pi/PCr, and blood flow were also unchanged. After training, the ND forearm demonstrated significantly lower Pi/PCr at 23 and 46 J/min. Endurance, measured as the number of contractions to exhaustion, also was increased significantly (63%) after training in the ND forearm. We conclude that 1) forearm training results in a lower Pi/PCr at identical submaximal work loads; 2) this improvement is independent of changes in VO2 max, muscle mass, or limb blood flow; and 3) these differences are associated with improved endurance and may reflect improved oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle.  相似文献

The effect of various levels of oxygenation on quadriceps muscle fatigability during isolated muscle exercise was assessed in six male subjects. Twitch force (Q(tw)) was assessed using supramaximal magnetic femoral nerve stimulation. In experiment 1, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and Q(tw) of resting quadriceps muscle were measured in normoxia [inspired O(2) fraction (Fi(O(2))) = 0.21, percent arterial O(2) saturation (Sp(O(2))) = 98.4%, estimated arterial O(2) content (Ca(O(2))) = 20.8 ml/dl], acute hypoxia (Fi(O(2)) = 0.11, Sp(O(2)) = 74.6%, Ca(O(2)) = 15.7 ml/dl), and acute hyperoxia (Fi(O(2)) = 1.0, Sp(O(2)) = 100%, Ca(O(2)) = 22.6 ml/dl). No significant differences were found for MVC and Q(tw) among the three Fi(O(2)) levels. In experiment 2, the subjects performed three sets of nine, intermittent, isometric, unilateral, submaximal quadriceps contractions (62% MVC followed by 1 MVC in each set) while breathing each Fi(O(2)). Q(tw) was assessed before and after exercise, and myoelectrical activity of the vastus lateralis was obtained during exercise. The percent reduction of twitch force (potentiated Q(tw)) in hypoxia (-27.0%) was significantly (P < 0.05) greater than in normoxia (-21.4%) and hyperoxia (-19.9%), as were the changes in intratwitch measures of contractile properties. The increase in integrated electromyogram over the course of the nine contractions in hypoxia (15.4%) was higher (P < 0.05) than in normoxia (7.2%) or hyperoxia (6.7%). These results demonstrate that quadriceps muscle fatigability during isolated muscle exercise is exacerbated in acute hypoxia, and these effects are independent of the relative exercise intensity.  相似文献

O2 concentration, PO2, PCO2, pH, osmolarity, lactate (LA), and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in deep forearm venous blood were repeatedly measured during submaximal exercise of forearm muscles. Concentrations of arterial blood gases were determined at rest and during exercise. Experiments were conducted under normoxia and hypobaric hypoxia (PB = 465 Torr). In arterial blood, data obtained during exercise were the same as those obtained during rest under either normoxia or hypoxia. In venous muscular blood, PO2 and O2 concentration were lower at rest and during exercise in hypoxia. The muscular arteriovenous O2 difference during exercise in hypoxia was increased by no more than 10% compared with normoxia, which implied that muscular blood flow during exercise also increased by the same percentage, if we assume that exercise O2 consumption was not affected by hypoxia. Despite increased [LA], the magnitude of changes in PCO2 and pH in hypoxia were smaller than in normoxia during exercise and recovery; this finding is probably due to the increased blood buffer value induced by the greater amount of reduced Hb in hypoxia. Hence all the changes occurring in hypoxia showed that local metabolism was less affected than we expected from the decrease in arterial PO2. The rise in [Hb] that occurred during exercise was lower in hypoxia. Possible underlying mechanisms of the [Hb] rise during exercise are discussed.  相似文献

5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been proposed to be a pivotal factor in cellular responses to both acute exercise and exercise training. To investigate whether protein levels and gene expression of catalytic (alpha(1), alpha(2)) and regulatory (beta(1), beta(2), gamma(1), gamma(2), gamma(3)) AMPK subunits and exercise-induced AMPK activity are influenced by exercise training status, muscle biopsies were obtained from seven endurance exercise-trained and seven sedentary young healthy men. The alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-AMPK mRNA contents in trained subjects were both 117 +/- 2% of that in sedentary subjects (not significant), whereas mRNA for gamma(3) was 61 +/- 1% of that in sedentary subjects (not significant). The level of alpha(1)-AMPK protein in trained subjects was 185 +/- 34% of that in sedentary subjects (P < 0.05), whereas the levels of the remaining subunits (alpha(2), beta(1), beta(2), gamma(1), gamma(2), gamma(3)) were similar in trained and sedentary subjects. At the end of 20 min of cycle exercise at 80% of peak O(2) uptake, the increase in phosphorylation of alpha-AMPK (Thr(172)) was blunted in the trained group (138 +/- 38% above rest) compared with the sedentary group (353 +/- 63% above rest) (P < 0.05). Acetyl CoA-carboxylase beta-phosphorylation (Ser(221)), which is a marker for in vivo AMPK activity, was increased by exercise in both groups but to a lower level in trained subjects (32 +/- 5 arbitrary units) than in sedentary controls (45 +/- 1 arbitrary units) (P < 0.01). In conclusion, trained human skeletal muscle has increased alpha(1)-AMPK protein levels and blunted AMPK activation during exercise.  相似文献

We studied muscle blood flow, muscle oxygen uptake (VO(2)), net muscle CO uptake, Mb saturation, and intracellular bioenergetics during incremental single leg knee-extensor exercise in five healthy young subjects in conditions of normoxia, hypoxia (H; 11% O(2)), normoxia + CO (CO(norm)), and 100% O(2) + CO (CO(hyper)). Maximum work rates and maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2 max)) were equally reduced by approximately 14% in H, CO(norm), and CO(hyper). The reduction in arterial oxygen content (Ca(O(2))) (approximately 20%) resulted in an elevated blood flow (Q) in the CO and H trials. Net muscle CO uptake was attenuated in the CO trials. Suprasystolic cuff measurements of the deoxy-Mb signal were not different in terms of the rate of signal rise or maximum signal attained with and without CO. At maximal exercise, calculated mean capillary PO(2) was most reduced in H and resulted in the lowest Mb-associated PO(2). Reductions in ATP, PCr, and pH during H, CO(norm), and CO(hyper) occurred earlier during progressive exercise than in normoxia. Thus the effects of reduced Ca(O(2)) due to mild CO poisoning are similar to H.  相似文献
