Lactate threshold (LT) is an index of exercise capacity and can be estimated from the gas exchange consequences of a metabolic
acidosis (LTGE). In recent years, it has emerged as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of subjects with exercise limitation. The purpose
of this study was to develop LTGE prediction equations on a relatively large sample of adults and to cross-validate each equation. A total of 204 healthy,
sedentary, nonsmoking subjects (103 men and 101 women), aged 20–70 years, underwent graded exercise testing on a cycle ergometer.
The V-slope technique was used to detect LTGE as the oxygen uptake (V˙O2) at the breakpoint of the carbon dioxide output versus V˙O2 relationship. Multiple linear regression was used to develop 12 equations with combinations of the following predictor variables:
age, height, body mass, and fat-free mass. Eight of the equations are gender-specific and four are generalized with gender
as a dummy variable. The equations were cross-validated using the predicted residual sum of squares (PRESS) method. The results
demonstrate that the equations had relatively high multiple correlations (0.577–0.863) and low standard errors of the estimate
(0.123–0.228 1 · min−1). The PRESS method demonstrated that the equations are generalizable, i.e., can be used in future studies without a significant
loss of accuracy. Since we tested only healthy, sedentary subjects, our equations can be used to predict the lower limit of
normal for a given subject. Using individual data for healthy and diseased subjects from the literature, we found that our
gender-specific equations rarely miscategorized subjects unless they were obese and mass was a predictor variable. We conclude
that our equations provide accurate predictions of normal values for LTGE and that they are generalizable to other subject populations.

Skeletal muscles are commonly exposed to radiation for diagnostic procedures and the treatment of cancers and heterotopic bone formation. Few studies have considered the impact of clinical doses of radiation on the ability of satellite cells (myogenic stem cells) to proliferate, differentiate and contribute to recovering/maintaining muscle mass. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the proliferation of irradiated satellite cells could be rescued by manipulating NO levels via pharmacological approaches and mechanical stretch (which is known to increase NO levels). We used both SNP (NO donor) and PTIO (NO scavenger) to manipulate NO levels in satellite cells. We observed that SNP was highly effective in rescuing the proliferation of irradiated satellite cells, especially at doses less than 5 Gy. The potential importance of NO was further illustrated by the effects of PTIO, which completely inhibited the rescue effect of SNP. Mechanical cyclic stretch was found to produce significant increases in NO levels of irradiated satellite cells, and this was associated with a robust increase in satellite cell proliferation. The effects of both radiation and NO on two key myogenic regulatory factors (MyoD and myogenin) were also explored. Irradiation of satellite cells produced a significant increase in both MyoD and myogenin, effects that were mitigated by manipulating NO levels via SNP. Given the central role of myogenic regulatory factors in the proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells, the findings of the current study underscore the need to more fully understand the relationship between radiation, NO and the functionality of satellite cells. 相似文献

The golden-mantled ground squirrel is a small rodent hibernator that demonstrates unusual myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform plasticity during several months of torpor, punctuated by bouts of rewarming and shivering thermogenesis. We measured MHC mRNA levels to determine whether pretranslational control mechanisms were responsible for differences in MHC2x protein expression, as we previously observed between active and hibernating ground squirrels. We first cloned cDNA using the 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3' RACE) technique and identified three sequences corresponding to MHC1, MHC2x, and MHC2b. A DNA control fragment was developed to be used in conjunction with a coupled RT-PCR reaction to simultaneously measure MHC mRNA levels for each isoform in the skeletal muscle of ground squirrels. MHC mRNA and protein expression were strongly correlated, and type IIx and IIb mRNA levels were significantly different between active and hibernating ground squirrels. Pretranslational control of MHC protein is apparently an important process during hibernation, although the exact stimulus is not known. The techniques presented can be used to obtain MHC cDNA sequences and to measure mRNA expression in many vertebrate groups. 相似文献

Dominant mutations in the valosin containing protein (VCP) gene cause inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget''s disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD). We have generated a knock-in mouse model with the common R155H mutation. Mice demonstrate progressive muscle weakness starting approximately at the age of 6 months. Histology of mutant muscle showed progressive vacuolization of myofibrils and centrally located nuclei, and immunostaining shows progressive cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP-43 and ubiquitin-positive inclusion bodies in quadriceps myofibrils and brain. Increased LC3-II staining of muscle sections representing increased number of autophagosomes suggested impaired autophagy. Increased apoptosis was demonstrated by elevated caspase-3 activity and increased TUNEL-positive nuclei. X-ray microtomography (uCT) images show radiolucency of distal femurs and proximal tibiae in knock-in mice and uCT morphometrics shows decreased trabecular pattern and increased cortical wall thickness. Bone histology and bone marrow derived macrophage cultures in these mice revealed increased osteoclastogenesis observed by TRAP staining suggestive of Paget bone disease. The VCPR155H/+ knock-in mice replicate the muscle, bone and brain pathology of inclusion body myopathy, thus representing a useful model for preclinical studies. 相似文献

Exercise leads to increases in circulating levels of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and to a simultaneous, seemingly paradoxical increase in both pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. Whether this is paralleled by changes in gene expression within the circulating population of PBMCs is not fully understood. Fifteen healthy men (18-30 yr old) performed 30 min of constant work rate cycle ergometry (approximately 80% peak O2 uptake). Blood samples were obtained preexercise (Pre), end-exercise (End-Ex), and 60 min into recovery (Recovery), and gene expression was measured using microarray analysis (Affymetrix GeneChips). Significant differential gene expression was defined with a posterior probability of differential expression of 0.99 and a Bayesian P value of 0.005. Significant changes were observed from Pre to End-Ex in 311 genes, from End-Ex to Recovery in 552 genes, and from Pre to Recovery in 293 genes. Pre to End-Ex upregulation of PBMC genes related to stress and inflammation [e.g., heat shock protein 70 (3.70-fold) and dual-specificity phosphatase-1 (4.45-fold)] was followed by a return of these genes to baseline by Recovery. The gene for interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (an anti-inflammatory mediator) increased between End-Ex and Recovery (1.52-fold). Chemokine genes associated with inflammatory diseases [macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (1.84-fold) and -1beta (2.88-fold), and regulation-on-activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (1.34-fold)] were upregulated but returned to baseline by Recovery. Exercise also upregulated growth and repair genes such as epiregulin (3.50-fold), platelet-derived growth factor (1.55-fold), and hypoxia-inducible factor-I (2.40-fold). A single bout of heavy exercise substantially alters PBMC gene expression characterized in many cases by a brisk activation and deactivation of genes associated with stress, inflammation, and tissue repair. 相似文献

Caiozzo, Vincent J., Michael J. Baker, and Kenneth M. Baldwin. Modulation of myosin isoform expression by mechanical loading: role of stimulation frequency. J. Appl.Physiol. 82(1): 211-218, 1997.This study testedthe hypothesis that mechanical loading, not stimulation frequency perse, plays a key role in determining the plasticity of myosin heavychain (MHC) protein isoform expression in muscle undergoing resistancetraining. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned toresistance-training programs that employed active1) shortening(n = 7) or2) lengthening contractions(n = 8). The medial gastrocnemius (MG)muscles in each group trained under loading conditions thatapproximated 90-95% of maximum isometric tetanictension but were stimulated at frequencies of 100 and~25 Hz, respectively. Lengthening and shortening contractions wereproduced by using a Cambridge ergometer system. The MG muscles trainedevery other day, performing a total of 16 training sessions. Bothtraining programs produced significant (P < 0.01) and similar reductions inthe fast type IIB MHC protein isoform in the white MG muscle, reducingits relative content to ~50% of the total MHC protein isoform pool.These changes were accompanied by increases in the relative content ofthe fast type IIX MHC protein isoform that were of similar magnitudefor both groups. The results of this study clearly demonstrate thatstimulation frequency does not play a key role in modulating MHCisoform alterations that result from high-resistance training. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the unloading of skeletal muscle, as occurring during exposure to space flight, exerts a profound effect on both the mass (cross sectional area) of skeletal muscle fibers and the relative expression of protein isoforms comprising the contractile system. Available information suggests that slow (type I) fibers, comprising chiefly the antigravity muscles of experimental animals, in addition to atrophying, undergo alterations in the type of myosin heavy chain (MHC) expressed such that faster isoforms become concomitantly expressed in a sub-population of slow fibers when insufficient force-bearing activity is maintained on the muscle. Consequently, these transformations in both mass and myosin heavy chain phenotype could exert a significant impact on the functional properties of skeletal muscle as manifest in the strength, contractile speed, and endurance scope of the muscle. To further explore these issues, a study was performed in which young adult male rats were exposed to zero gravity for six days, following which, the antigravity soleus muscle was examined for a) contractile properties, determined in situ and b) isomyosin expression, as studied using biochemical, molecular biology, and histochemical/immunohistochemical techniques. 相似文献
