Abstract:The purpose of this work is to study the influence of aging, training, and food restriction on skeletal muscle mass and fiber number. Male Fischer 344 rats (n = 49) at 3 mo postpartum were assigned to three groups: 1) sedentary control (confined to cage), 2) exercise trained (18 m/min, 8 degrees grade, 20 min/day, 5 days/wk), or 3) food restricted (alternate days of free access and no access to food). At 12 and 27 mo postpartum the soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were excised, weighed, and fiber number was quantified after HNO3 digestion. At 27 mo the masses of soleus and EDL muscles of sedentary control rats were 83 and 70%, respectively, of 12-mo values (138 +/- 5 and 151 +/- 4 mg). At 27 mo, soleus muscle mass of trained rats was 113% of sedentary control values, whereas EDL muscle mass was unaffected by training. At 27 mo, food restriction had no effect on the mass of both muscles compared with 27-mo sedentary control values. Fiber number was not affected by training or food restriction in both muscles. Fiber number for soleus and EDL muscles of combined groups declined with age by 5.6 and 4.2%, respectively. With aging, the small loss of muscle fibers can account at most for approximately 25% of the observed skeletal muscle atrophy.
