Ogneva IV. The Mechanoreception in Drosophila melanogaster Oocyte under Modeling Micro- and Hypergravity. Cells 2023; 12:1819. [PMID: 37508484 PMCID: PMC10377865 DOI: 10.3390/cells12141819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The hypothesis about the role of the cortical cytoskeleton as the primary mechanosensor was tested. Drosophila melanogaster oocytes were exposed to simulated microgravity (by 3D clinorotation in random directions with 4 rotations per minute-sµg group) and hypergravity at the 2 g level (by centrifugal force from one axis rotation-hg group) for 30, 90, and 210 min without and with cytochalasin B, colchicine, acrylamide, and calyculin A. Cell stiffness was measured by atomic force microscopy, protein content in the membrane and cytoplasmic fractions by Western blotting, and cellular respiration by polarography. The obtained results indicate that the stiffness of the cortical cytoskeleton of Drosophila melanogaster oocytes decreases in simulated micro- (after 90 min) and hypergravity (after 30 min), possibly due to intermediate filaments. The cell stiffness recovered after 210 min in the hg group, but intact microtubules were required for this. Already after 30 min of exposure to sµg, the cross-sectional area of oocytes decreased, which indicates deformation, and the singed protein, which organizes microfilaments into longitudinal bundles, diffused from the cortical cytoskeleton into the cytoplasm. Under hg, after 30 min, the cross-sectional area of the oocytes increased, and the proteins that organize filament networks, alpha-actinin and spectrin, diffused from the cortical cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Spaceflight imposes the risk of skeletal muscle atrophy for astronauts. Two main factors of a spaceflight that results in deleterious effects are microgravity and cosmic rays in outer space. To study spaceflight-induced muscle atrophy with ground-based models, we performed two models of microgravity, tail suspension and denervation, in a low dose radiation environment and studied transcriptional changes in rat soleus muscle using microarrays. Soleus muscle from rats in the denervation group had greater expression changes compared to that found in rats from the tail suspension group. However, there was a very similar pattern of expression of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in both models. In total, we identified 144 differentially expressed genes common in both models. Our study yielded two main findings. First, a large number of genes involved in energy metabolism were transcriptionally suppressed including those involved in fatty acid transport and beta-oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation. Second, slow-twitch contractile protein encoding genes were down-regulated while there was an up-regulation in the fast-twitch type transcription. These results were consistent with other spaceflight studies on the effects on muscle cells, hence showed the potential of our ground-based models in studying spaceflight effects. The genes that might be involved in spaceflight effects will serve as candidate genes for future studies in understanding the mechanism of spaceflight-induced muscle atrophy and result in the development of effective countermeasures.

Abstract
Coriander is a commonly used vegetable, spice, and folk medicine, possessing both nutritional and medicinal properties. Up to two-thirds of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) exhibit loss of body mass, predominately skeletal muscle mass, a process called rheumatoid cachexia, and this has major effects of the quality of life of patients. Owing to a lack of effective treatments, the initial stage of cachexia has been proposed as an important period for prevention and decreasing pathogenesis. In the current study, we found that cachexia-like molecular disorders and muscle weight loss were in progress in gastrocnemius muscle after only 5 days of RA induction in rats, although rheumatoid cachexia symptoms have been reported occurring approximately 45 days after RA induction. Oral administration of coriander slightly restored muscle loss. Moreover, iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics revealed that coriander treatment could partially restore the molecular derangements induced by RA, including impaired carbon metabolism, deteriorated mitochondrial function (tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation), and myofiber-type alterations. Therefore, coriander could be a promising functional food and/or complementary therapy for patients with RA against cachexia.

Abstract
Studies of the function of the female reproductive system in zero gravity are urgent for the future exploration of deep space. Female reproductive cells, oocytes, are rich in mitochondria, which allow oocytes to produce embryos. The rate of cellular respiration was determined to assess the functional state of the mitochondrial apparatus in Drosophila melanogaster ovaries in which the full cycle of oogenesis took place under simulated microgravity. Since cellular respiration depends on the state of the cytoskeleton, the contents of the main cytoskeletal proteins were determined by Western blotting. To modulate the structure of the cytoskeleton, essential phospholipids were administered per os at a dosage of 500 mg/kg in medium. The results of this study show that after a full cycle of oogenesis under simulated microgravity, the rate of cellular respiration in the fruit fly ovaries increases, apparently due to complex II of the respiratory chain. At the same time, we did not find any changes in the area of oocytes or in the content of proteins in the respiratory chain. However, changes were found in the relative contents of proteins of the actin cytoskeleton. There were no changes of essential phospholipids and no increase in the rate of cellular respiration of the ovaries after exposure to simulated microgravity. However, in the control, the administration of essential phospholipids led to a decrease in the efficiency of oxygen consumption in the flies’ ovaries due to complexes IV–V.

Sperm Motility of Mice under Simulated Microgravity and Hypergravity. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21145054.

Abstract
For deep space exploration, reproductive health must be maintained to preserve the species. However, the mechanisms underlying the effect of changes in gravity on male germ cells remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of simulated micro- and hypergravity on mouse sperm motility and the mechanisms of this change. For 1, 3 and 6 h, mouse sperm samples isolated from the caudal epididymis were subjected to simulated microgravity using a random position machine and 2g hypergravity using a centrifuge. The experimental samples were compared with static and dynamic controls. The sperm motility and the percentage of motile sperm were determined using microscopy and video analysis, cell respiration was determined by polarography, the protein content was assessed by Western blotting and the mRNA levels were determined using qRT-PCR. The results indicated that hypergravity conditions led to more significant changes than simulated microgravity conditions: after 1 h, the speed of sperm movement decreased, and after 3 h, the number of motile cells began to decrease. Under the microgravity model, the speed of movement did not change, but the motile spermatozoa decreased after 6 h of exposure. These changes are likely associated with a change in the structure of the microtubule cytoskeleton, and changes in the energy supply are an adaptive reaction to changes in sperm motility.

Abstract
Background:
In heart failure (HF) management, early ambulation is recommended to prevent physical deconditioning. The effects of delayed ambulation on later clinical outcomes and the factors linked to delayed ambulation in hospitalized HF patients, however, remain unestablished. Methods and Results:
We retrospectively investigated 101 patients (mean age, 66±17 years) who were hospitalized for acute decompensated HF. During the mean follow-up of 244±15 days after hospital discharge, 34 patients had cardiovascular events leading to death or unplanned readmission. Patients with cardiovascular events had longer median days to acquire ambulation than those without cardiovascular events (11 days, IQR, 8–20 days vs. 7 days, IQR, 5–15 days, P<0.001). The optimal cut-off period until initiation of ambulation to discriminate cardiovascular events was 8 days, indicating that longer days (≥8 days) to acquire ambulation was associated with higher rates of cardiovascular events, even after adjustment of multiple confounders. On multivariate analysis, age >65 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.49; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04–6.09) and increase in blood urea nitrogen (BUN; OR, 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01–1.08) were independent predictors of delayed ambulation. Conclusions:
Delayed ambulation is associated with older age and increased BUN in patients with acute HF. Time to ambulation in the recovery phase of acute HF is important, and delayed ambulation may increase the rate of cardiovascular events after hospital discharge.

Abstract
As the most common post-translational protein modification, glycosylation is intimately linked to muscle atrophy. This study aimed to investigate the performance of protein glycosylation in the soleus muscle (SOL) in Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus) and to determine the potential role of protein glycosylation in the mechanism underlying disuse muscle atrophy prevention. The results showed that (1) seven glycan structures comprising sialic acid α2-3 galactose (SAα2-3Gal) were altered during hibernation; (2) alterations in the SAα2-3Gal structure during hibernation were based on changes in the expression levels of beta-galactoside alpha-2 and 3-sialyltransferases; and (3) α2-3–linked sialylated modifications of heat shock cognate 70 and pyruvate kinase and expression of 14-3-3 epsilon protein were oscillatorily changed during hibernation. Our findings indicate that the skeletal muscles of hibernating Daurian ground squirrels maintain protein sialylation homeostasis by restoring sialylation modification during periodic interbout arousal, which might protect the skeletal muscles against disuse atrophy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loss of muscle mass worsens many diseases such as cancer and renal failure, contributes to the frailty syndrome, and is associated with an increased risk of death. Studies conducted on animal models have revealed the preponderant role of muscle proteolysis and in particular the activation of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). Studies conducted in humans remain scarce, especially within renal deficiency. Whether a shared atrophying programme exists independently of the nature of the disease remains to be established. The aim of this work was to identify common modifications at the transcriptomic level or the proteomic level in atrophying skeletal muscles from cancer and renal failure patients. METHODS Muscle biopsies were performed during scheduled interventions in early-stage (no treatment and no detectable muscle loss) lung cancer (LC), chronic haemodialysis (HD), or healthy (CT) patients (n = 7 per group; 86% male; 69.6 ± 11.4, 67.9 ± 8.6, and 70.2 ± 7.9 years P > 0.9 for the CT, LC, and HD groups, respectively). Gene expression of members of the UPS, autophagy, and apoptotic systems was measured by quantitative real-time PCR. A global analysis of the soluble muscle proteome was conducted by shotgun proteomics for investigating the processes altered. RESULTS We found an increased expression of several UPS and autophagy-related enzymes in both LC and HD patients. The E3 ligases MuRF1 (+56 to 78%, P < 0.01), MAFbx (+68 to 84%, P = 0.02), Hdm2 (+37 to 59%, P = 0.02), and MUSA1/Fbxo30 (+47 to 106%, P = 0.01) and the autophagy-related genes CTPL (+33 to 47%, P = 0.03) and SQSTM1 (+47 to 137%, P < 0.01) were overexpressed. Mass spectrometry identified >1700 proteins, and principal component analysis revealed three differential proteomes that matched to the three groups of patients. Orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis created a model, which distinguished the muscles of diseased patients (LC or HD) from those of CT subjects. Proteins that most contributed to the model were selected. Functional analysis revealed up to 238 proteins belonging to nine metabolic processes (inflammatory response, proteolysis, cytoskeleton organization, glucose metabolism, muscle contraction, oxidant detoxification, energy metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and extracellular matrix) involved in and/or altered by the atrophying programme in both LC and HD patients. This was confirmed by a co-expression network analysis. CONCLUSIONS We were able to identify highly similar modifications of several metabolic pathways in patients exhibiting diseases with different aetiologies (early-stage LC vs. long-term renal failure). This strongly suggests that a common atrophying programme exists independently of the disease in human.

Abstract
The adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) of the mitochondrial inner membrane exchanges ADP for ATP. Mitochondria were isolated from human vastus lateralis muscle (n = 9). Carboxyatractyloside titration of O2 consumption rate (Jo) at clamped [ADP] of 21 μM gave ANT abundance of 0.97 ± 0.14 nmol ANT/mg and a flux control coefficient of 82% ± 6%. Flux control fell to 1% ± 1% at saturating (2 mM) [ADP]. The KmADP for Jo was 32.4 ± 1.8 μM. In terms of the free (-3) ADP anion this KmADP was 12.0 ± 0.7 μM. A novel luciferase-based assay for ATP production gave KmADP of 13.1 ± 1.9 μM in the absence of ATP competition. The free anion KmADP in this case was 2.0 ± 0.3 μM. Targeted proteomic analyses showed significant acetylation of ANT Lysine23 and that ANT1 was the most abundant isoform. Acetylation of Lysine23 correlated positively with KmADP, r = 0.74, P = 0.022. The findings underscore the central role played by ANT in the control of oxidative phosphorylation, particularly at the energy phosphate levels associated with low ATP demand. As predicted by molecular dynamic modeling, ANT Lysine23 acetylation decreased the apparent affinity of ADP for ANT binding.

Abstract
Disuse leads to severe muscle atrophy and a slow-to-fast myofiber-type transition. PGC-1α (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α) is documented to play an important role in muscle atrophy and slow-twitch myofiber determination. Transcription of atrophy-related Atrogin-1 by FoxO3 can be reduced by PGC-1α. While Smad3 augments FoxO3-induced Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 promoter activity. So PGC-1α, as a transcription co-activator, may regulate hindlimb unloading (HU)-induced myofiber-type transition and muscle atrophy through Smad3. Our results showed that transgenic PGC-1α mice resisted HU-induced muscle loss, atrophy-related genes expression, and slow-to-fast myofiber-type transition. Furthermore, over-expression of PGC-1α resisted the increase in pSmad3 during muscle atrophy in vivo and in vitro. And, PGC-1α over-expression inhibited the expression of atrogenes via suppressing the phosphorylation of Smad3 in vitro. Thus, PGC-1α is effective in regulating myofiber-type transition during HU, and it alleviates skeletal muscle atrophy partially through suppressing the activation of Smad3.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of protection from skeletal muscle atrophy in the hind limb extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of hibernating Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus Brandt, 1843). The effects of unrestrained hibernation and 14 day hind limb unloading (HLU) on EDL were studied in three seasons (summer, autumn, and winter). Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 mRNA skeletal muscle expression, wet muscle mass, and muscle to body mass ratios were unchanged during hibernation in all three seasons. EDL mass measurements decreased following HLU and atrogin-1 and MuRF1 mRNA expression increased. In summer, atrogin-1 and MuRF1 mRNA expression increased by 85% and 75%, respectively; in autumn, by 95% and 69%, respectively; and in winter, by 91% and 65%, respectively (P < 0.05). In the HLU group, microscopic skeletal muscle changes were present, including a reduction in the percentage of type-I skeletal muscle fibers. Fat storage in Daurian ground squirrels and a shorter photoperiod during hibernation did not affect the protective mechanisms that prevented skeletal muscle atrophy. The results of this study suggest that the stable expression of atrogin-1 and MuRF1 and the transition from fast glycolytic fibers to slow oxidative fibers are associated with a lack of skeletal muscle atrophy in the hibernating Daurian ground squirrel.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle possesses plasticity and adaptability to external and internal physiological changes. Due to these characteristics, skeletal muscle shows dramatic changes depending on its response to stimuli such as physical activity, nutritional changes, disease status, and environmental changes. Modulation of the rate of protein synthesis/degradation plays an important role in atrophic responses. The purpose of this review is to describe different features of skeletal muscle adaptation with various models of deceased use. In this review, four models were addressed: immobilization, spinal cord transection, hindlimb unloading, and aging. Immobilization is a form of decreased use in which skeletal muscle shows electrical activity, tension development, and motion. These results differ by muscle group. Spinal cord transection was selected to simulate spinal cord injury. Similar to the immobilization model, dramatic atrophy occurs in addition to fiber type conversion in this model. Despite the fact that electromyography shows unremarkable changes in muscle after hindlimb unloading, decreased muscle mass and contractile force are observed. Lastly, aging significantly decreases the numbers of muscle fibers and motor units. Skeletal muscle responses to decreased use include decreased strength, decreased fiber numbers, and fiber type transformation. These four models demonstrated different changes in the skeletal muscle. This review elucidates the different skeletal muscle adaptations in these four decreased use animal models and encourages further studies.

Abstract
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, PPARα, PPARβ, and PPARγ, are a family of transcription factors activated by a diversity of molecules including fatty acids and fatty acid metabolites. PPARs regulate the transcription of a large variety of genes implicated in metabolism, inflammation, proliferation, and differentiation in different cell types. These transcriptional regulations involve both direct transactivation and interaction with other transcriptional regulatory pathways. The functions of PPARα and PPARγ have been extensively documented mainly because these isoforms are activated by molecules clinically used as hypolipidemic and antidiabetic compounds. The physiological functions of PPARβ remained for a while less investigated, but the finding that specific synthetic agonists exert beneficial actions in obese subjects uplifted the studies aimed to elucidate the roles of this PPAR isoform. Intensive work based on pharmacological and genetic approaches and on the use of both in vitro and in vivo models has considerably improved our knowledge on the physiological roles of PPARβ in various cell types. This review will summarize the accumulated evidence for the implication of PPARβ in the regulation of development, metabolism, and inflammation in several tissues, including skeletal muscle, heart, skin, and intestine. Some of these findings indicate that pharmacological activation of PPARβ could be envisioned as a therapeutic option for the correction of metabolic disorders and a variety of inflammatory conditions. However, other experimental data suggesting that activation of PPARβ could result in serious adverse effects, such as carcinogenesis and psoriasis, raise concerns about the clinical use of potent PPARβ agonists.

Abstract
Hypoxia impairs the muscle fibre-type shift from fast-to-slow during post-natal development; however, this adaptation could be a consequence of the reduced voluntary physical activity associated with hypoxia exposure rather than the result of hypoxia per se. Moreover, muscle oxidative capacity could be reduced in hypoxia, particularly when hypoxia is combined with additional stress. Here, we used a model of muscle regeneration to mimic the fast-to-slow fibre-type conversion observed during post-natal development. We hypothesised that hypoxia would impair the recovery of the myosin heavy chain (MHC) profile and oxidative capacity during muscle regeneration. To test this hypothesis, the soleus muscle of female rats was injured by notexin and allowed to recover for 3, 7, 14 and 28 days under normoxia or hypobaric hypoxia (5,500 m altitude) conditions. Ambient hypoxia did not impair the recovery of the slow MHC profile during muscle regeneration. However, hypoxia moderately decreased the oxidative capacity (assessed from the activity of citrate synthase) of intact muscle and delayed its recovery in regenerated muscle. Hypoxia transiently increased in both regenerated and intact muscles the content of phosphorylated AMPK and Pgc-1α mRNA, two regulators involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, while it transiently increased in intact muscle the mRNA level of the mitophagic factor BNIP3. In conclusion, hypoxia does not act to impair the fast-to-slow MHC isoform transition during regeneration. Hypoxia alters the oxidative capacity of intact muscle and delays its recovery in regenerated muscle; however, this adaptation to hypoxia was independent of the studied regulators of mitochondrial turn-over.

Abstract
Collagen VI-related myopathies are disorders of connective tissue presenting with an overlap phenotype combining clinical involvement from the muscle and from the connective tissue. Not all patients displaying related overlap phenotypes between muscle and connective tissue have mutations in collagen VI. Here, we report a homozygous recessive loss of function mutation and a de novo dominant mutation in collagen XII (COL12A1) as underlying a novel overlap syndrome involving muscle and connective tissue. Two siblings homozygous for a loss of function mutation showed widespread joint hyperlaxity combined with weakness precluding independent ambulation, while the patient with the de novo missense mutation was more mildly affected, showing improvement including the acquisition of walking. A mouse model with inactivation of the Col12a1 gene showed decreased grip strength, a delay in fiber-type transition and a deficiency in passive force generation while the muscle seems more resistant to eccentric contraction induced force drop, indicating a role for a matrix-based passive force-transducing elastic element in the generation of the weakness. This new muscle connective tissue overlap syndrome expands on the emerging importance of the muscle extracellular matrix in the pathogenesis of muscle disease.

Abstract
The goal of the research was to identify the structural and functional characteristics of the rat's left ventricle under antiorthostatic suspension within 1, 3, 7 and 14 days, and subsequent 3 and 7-day reloading after a 14-day suspension. The transversal stiffness of the cardiomyocyte has been determined by the atomic force microscopy, cell respiration—by polarography and proteins content—by Western blotting. Stiffness of the cortical cytoskeleton increases as soon as one day after the suspension and increases up to the 14th day, and starts decreasing during reloading, reaching the control level after 7 days. The stiffness of the contractile apparatus and the intensity of cell respiration also increases. The content of non-muscle isoforms of actin in the cytoplasmic fraction of proteins does not change during the whole experiment, as does not the beta-actin content in the membrane fraction. The content of gamma-actin in the membrane fraction correlates with the change in the transversal stiffness of the cortical cytoskeleton. Increased content of alpha-actinin-1 and alpha-actinin-4 in the membrane fraction of proteins during the suspension is consistent with increased gamma-actin content there. The opposite direction of change of alpha-actinin-1 and alpha-actinin-4 content suggests their involvement into the signal pathways.

Abstract
We analyzed lesser diameter and distribution of fiber types in different skeletal muscles from female Wistar rats using a histoenzymology Myofibrillar Adenosine Tri-phosphatase (mATPase) method. Fragments from muscles were frozen and processed by mATPase in different pH. Adult and weanling rat soleus muscles presented a predominance of type I fibers and larger fiber diameters. In the plantar muscle in adult rats, the type IIB fibers demonstrated greater lesser diameter while in the weanling animals, types I and IIB fibers were larger. The plantar muscle of animals of both ages was composed predominantly of the type IID fibers. The type IID fibers were observed in similar amounts in the lateral gastrocnemius and the medial gastrocnemius muscles. Type IIB fibers showed predominance and presented higher size in comparison with other types in the EDL muscle. The present study shows that data on fiber type distribution and fiber lesser diameter obtained in adult animals cannot always be applied to weanling animals of the same species. Using the mATPase, despite the difficult handling, is an important tool to determine the different characteristics of the specific fibers in the skeletal muscle tissue.

Abstract
We examined the adaptation of plantar flexor muscles of female rats to 6 weeks (5 days/week) of lengthening contractions. After repeated lengthening contractions, a decrease in myofiber area of gastrocnemius medialis (26%) was accompanied by an increase in extracellular matrix (ECM) (42%) and collagen content (30.9%) without changes in muscle mass. Decrease in myofiber area (13%) and muscle mass of soleus (19%) was associated with increased collagen content (28%) and ECM (15%). Relative number of soleus myofibers stained for fast myosin increased by 26%. For plantaris, increases in collagen content (32.3%), percent ECM (17%), and myofiber area (6%) were recorded. We also observed (1) increases (3.3%) in the collagen content of the Achilles tendon, (2) no change in the crosslink content of any of the tissues tested, and (3) no difference in the force-frequency relationship of the plantar flexor muscles. Substantial decreases in myofiber areas with increases in muscle connective tissue by 6 weeks of repeated lengthening contractions did not appear to result in isometric force loss.

Abstract
The Japanese population is rapidly aging, thereby causing excess demand for facilities for elderly invalids. It is imperative that social measures and scientific studies be carried out to enable better care of bedridden elderly people. The purpose of the present study was to review the histological changes that occur in disuse atrophy of skeletal muscles, the primary pathophysiology of bedridden invalids, with the object of developing a staging standard to be used by researchers and clinicians. Rat hindlimb suspension was used as an experimental model. Atrophy of the soleus muscle was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively on immunofluorescence microscopy. The myofibrils decreased significantly in the first 2-3 weeks of disuse atrophy. The earliest morphological change was fan-shaped multistep forking of sarcomeres, which appeared by the first week. This type of muscular lesion, designated here as 'sarcomeric disarray', was first described in the present study. Central-core lesions appeared mainly in slow muscle fibers by the second week. These lesions disappeared by the fourth or fifth week. Nerves remained intact and no inflammation or regeneration occurred up to the fifth week. Methods and criteria were compiled for staging of disuse atrophy based on the present results and a diagnosis kit designed for studies on disuse atrophy of skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Energetic metabolism during effort is impaired in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (Dysf), but data have been lacking up to now on the relative anaerobic vs. aerobic contribution to total energy release during supramaximal effort. Recently, the maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD) has been shown to be measurable in Dysf patients, making it possible to evaluate the anaerobic/aerobic interaction under conditions of maximal stress of both anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways in this population. Nineteen Dysf patients and 17 normal patients (N) underwent one ramp cardiopulmonary, three moderate-intensity constant-power, and three supramaximal constant-power (1- to 2-min, 2- to 3-min, and 3- to 4-min duration) exercise tests. MAOD was the difference between accumulated O2demand (accO2dem; estimated from the moderate-intensity O2uptake/watt relationship) and uptake during supramaximal tests. Percent anaerobic (%Anaer) and aerobic (%Aer) energetic release were [(MAOD/accO2dem)·100] and 100 − %Anaer, respectively. MAOD did not vary between 1–2, 2–3, and 3–4 min supramaximal tests, whereas accO2dem increased significantly with and was linearly related to test duration in both Dysf and N. Consequently, %Anaer and %Aer decreased and increased, respectively, with increasing test duration but did not differ between Dysf and N in 1–2 min, 2–3 min, and 3–4 min tests. Our study demonstrates a similar relative anaerobic vs. aerobic contribution to total energy release during supramaximal effort in Dysf and N. This finding indicates that energetic metabolism during supramaximal exercise is exercise tolerance independent and that relative anaerobic vs. aerobic contribution in this effort domain remains the same within the physiology- or pathology-induced limits to individual peak exercise performance.

Abstract
The present experiment was designed to examine the effects of hypothyroidism and calcineurin inhibition induced by cyclosporin A (CsA) administration on both contractile and metabolic soleus muscle phenotypes, with a novel approach to the signaling pathway controlling mitochondrial biogenesis. Twenty-eight rats were randomly assigned to four groups, normothyroid, hypothyroid, and orally treated with either CsA (25 mg/kg, N-CsA and H-CsA) or vehicle (N-Vh and H-Vh), for 3 wk. Muscle phenotype was estimated by the MHC profile and activities of oxidative and glycolytic enzymes. We measured mRNA levels of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha), the major regulator of mitochondrial content. We also studied the expression of the catalytic A-subunit of calcineurin (CnA) both at protein and transcript levels and mRNA levels of modulatory calcineurin inhibitor proteins (MCIP)-1 and -2, which are differentially regulated by calcineurin activity and thyroid hormone, respectively. CsA-administration induced a slow-to-fast MHC transition limited to the type IIA isoform, which is associated with increased oxidative capacities. Hypothyroidism strongly decreased both the expression of fast MHC isoforms and oxidative capacities. Effects of CsA administration on muscle phenotype were blocked in conditions of thyroid hormone deficiency. Changes in the oxidative profile were strongly related to PGC-1 alpha changes and associated with phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. Calcineurin and MCIPs mRNA levels were decreased by both hypothyroidism and CsA without additive effects. Taken together, these results suggest that adult muscle phenotype is primarily under the control of thyroid state. Physiological levels of thyroid hormone are required for the effects of calcineurin inhibition on slow oxidative muscle phenotype.

Abstract
This was a study on the oxidative stress due to ischaemia (I) and reperfusion (R) in skeletal muscle tissue. Using a tourniquet, groups of rats were submitted to ischaemia for 4 h, followed by different reperfusion periods. The animals were divided in four groups: control; 4 h of ischaemia (IR); 4 h of ischaemia plus 1 h reperfusion (IR-1 h); 4 h of ischaemia plus 24 h reperfusion (IR-24 h); and 4 h of ischaemia plus 72 h reperfusion (IR-72 h). At the end of the procedures, samples of soleus muscle were collected and frozen in n-hexane at -70 degrees C. Cryostat sections were submitted to haematoxylin-eosin, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) stains. An additional muscle sample was processed for electron microscopy. No alterations were found in control animals. IR group showed fibres had normal aspect besides some round, acidophilic and hypertrophic fibres. There were several fibres with angular outlines and smaller diameters in this group compared with control group. NADH-TR/SDH reaction was moderately intense in most fibres. In some fibres, cytoplasm showed areas without activity and other fibres had very intense reactivity. IR-1 h group showed oedema hypercontracted fibres with disorganized myofibrils, mitochondria with focal lesions and dilated sarcoplasmic reticulum. NADH-TR/SDH reaction was moderate to weak. IR-24 h showed intense inflammatory infiltrate in the endomysium and perimysium. NADH-TR/SDH reaction was similar to IR-1 h. IR-72 h showed necrotic fibres, areas with inflammatory infiltrate, reduced muscle fibres at different stages of necrosis and phagocytosis, and many small round and basophilic fibres characterizing a regeneration process. NADH-TR/SDH reaction was weak to negative. Our results suggest that ischaemia and the subsequent 1-, 24- and 72-h reperfusions induced progressive histological damage. Although progressive, it may be reversible because there were ultrastructural signs of recovery after 72-h reperfusion. This recovery could in part be due to the low oxidative stress identified by the morphological and histochemical analysis.

Abstract
Musclin has been described as a muscle-derived secretory peptide, responsive to insulin in vivo, and inducing insulin resistance in vitro. Because muscle fibers display very different metabolic properties and insulin sensitivity, we tested the hypothesis that musclin expression could depend on myofiber type. Musclin mRNA was detected at high level in fast gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles, but only as traces in soleus, a slow-twitch muscle. A single fiber analysis showed that musclin was produced by muscle fibers themselves, almost exclusively type IIb fibers. Slow to fast transition of soleus phenotype after hindlimb suspension increased musclin mRNA levels, whereas fast to slow transition of plantaris phenotype after functional overload decreased musclin mRNA levels. This clearly suggests that musclin transcription is strongly related to fast-glycolytic phenotype. We conclude that musclin is produced by myocytes in a highly fiber-type specific manner and that physiological changes in type IIb MHC lead to coordinated musclin expression.

Abstract
Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs), also known as mitochondrial porins, are the main pathway for metabolites across the mitochondrial outer membrane and may serve as binding sites for kinases, including hexokinase. We determined that mitochondria-bound hexokinase activity is significantly reduced in oxidative muscles (heart and soleus) in vdac1(-/-) mice. The activity data were supported by western blot analysis using HK2 specific antibody. To gain more insight into the physiologic mean of the results with the activity data, VDAC deficient mice were subjected to glucose tolerance testing and exercise-induced stress, each of which involves tissue glucose uptake via different mechanisms. vdac1(-/-) mice exhibit impaired glucose tolerance whereas vdac3(-/-) mice have normal glucose tolerance and exercise capacity. Mice lacking both VDAC1 and VDAC3 (vdac1(-/-)/vdac3(-/-)) have reduced exercise capacity together with impaired glucose tolerance. Therefore, we demonstrated a link between VDAC1 mediated mitochondria-bound hexokinase activity and the capacity for glucose clearance.

Abstract
Chronic heart failure (CHF), the new epidemic in cardiology, is characterized by energetic failure of both cardiac and skeletal muscles. The failing heart wastes energy due to anatomical changes that include cavity enlargement, altered geometry, tachycardia, mitral insufficiency and abnormal loading, while skeletal muscle undergoes atrophy. Cardiac and skeletal muscles also have altered high-energy phosphate production and handling in CHF. Nevertheless, there are differences in the phenotype of myocardial and skeletal muscle myopathy in CHF: cardiomyocytes have a lower mitochondrial oxidative capacity, abnormal substrate utilisation and intracellular signalling but a maintained oxidative profile; in skeletal muscle, by contrast, mitochondrial failure is less clear, and there is altered microvascular reactivity, fibre type shifts and abnormalities in the enzymatic systems involved in energy distribution. Underlying these phenotypic abnormalities are changes in gene regulation in both cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. Here, we review the latest advances in cardiac and skeletal muscle energetic research and argue that energetic failure could be taken as a unifying mechanism leading to contractile failure, ultimately resulting in skeletal muscle energetic failure, exertional fatigue and death.

Abstract
This study investigates whether adaptations of mitochondrial function accompany the improvement of endurance performance capacity observed in well-trained athletes after an intermittent hypoxic training program. Fifteen endurance-trained athletes performed two weekly training sessions on treadmill at the velocity associated with the second ventilatory threshold (VT2) with inspired O2 fraction = 14.5% [hypoxic group (Hyp), n = 8] or with inspired O2 fraction = 21% [normoxic group (Nor), n = 7], integrated into their usual training, for 6 wk. Before and after training, oxygen uptake (VO2) and speed at VT2, maximal VO2 (VO2 max), and time to exhaustion at velocity of VO2 max (minimal speed associated with VO2 max) were measured, and muscle biopsies of vastus lateralis were harvested. Muscle oxidative capacities and sensitivity of mitochondrial respiration to ADP (Km) were evaluated on permeabilized muscle fibers. Time to exhaustion, VO2 at VT2, and VO2 max were significantly improved in Hyp (+42, +8, and +5%, respectively) but not in Nor. No increase in muscle oxidative capacity was obtained with either training protocol. However, mitochondrial regulation shifted to a more oxidative profile in Hyp only as shown by the increased Km for ADP (Nor: before 476 +/- 63, after 524 +/- 62 microM, not significant; Hyp: before 441 +/- 59, after 694 +/- 51 microM, P < 0.05). Thus including hypoxia sessions into the usual training of athletes qualitatively ameliorates mitochondrial function by increasing the respiratory control by creatine, providing a tighter integration between ATP demand and supply.

Abstract
We previously reported that oxidative stress is associated with unloading-mediated ubiquitination of muscle proteins. To further elucidate the involvement of oxidative stress in ubiquitination, we examined the ubiquitination profile in rat myoblastic L6 cells after treatment with hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide induced many ubiquitinated proteins with low molecular masses (less than 60 kDa) as well as high molecular masses (more than 160 kDa). Among them, a 42-kDa-ubiquitinated protein was abundantly accumulated and immediately disappeared after the treatment. Microsequencing revealed that the 42-kDa-protein was identical to the mono-ubiquitinated form of rat lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH-A), and we confirmed that hydrogen peroxide induced the mono-ubiquitination of LDH-A in COS7 cells overexpressing LDH-A and ubiquitin. Under unloading conditions, such as tail-suspension and spaceflight, mono-ubiquitinated LDH was accumulated in gastrocnemius muscle. Interestingly, E-64-d plus pepstatin, lysosomal protease inhibitors, further accumulated mono-ubiquitinated LDH-A in the cells after treatment with hydrogen peroxide, while they did not affect the amount of poly-ubiquitinated LDH. In contrast, epoxomicin, a potent proteasome inhibitor, did not change the amount of mono-ubiquitinated LDH-A in L6 cells treated with hydrogen peroxide, although it significantly increased the amount of poly-ubiquitinated LDH. Our results suggest that oxidative stress induces not only poly-ubiquitination but also mono-ubiquitination of LDH-A, which may be involved in its lysosomal degradation during unloading.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone (TH) is an important regulator of mitochondrial content and activity. As mitochondrial content and properties differ depending on muscle-type, we compared mitochondrial regulation and biogenesis by T3 in slow-twitch oxidative (soleus) and fast-twitch mixed muscle (plantaris). Male Wistar rats were treated for 21 to 27 days with T3 (200 microg/kg/day). Oxidative capacity, regulation of mitochondrial respiration by substrates and phosphate acceptors, and transcription factors were studied. In soleus, T3 treatment increased maximal oxygen consumption (Vmax) and the activities of citrate synthase (CS) and cytochrome oxidase (COX) by 100%, 45%, and 71%, respectively (P < 0.001), whereas in plantaris only Vmax increased, by 39% (P < 0.01). ADP-independent respiration rate was increased in soleus muscle by 216% suggesting mitochondrial uncoupling. Mitochondrial substrate utilization in soleus was also influenced by T3, as were mitochondrial enzymes. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was elevated in soleus and plantaris by 63% and 11%, respectively (P < 0.01), and soleus creatine kinase was increased by 48% (P < 0.001). T3 increased the mRNA content of the transcriptional co-activator of mitochondrial genes, PGC-1alpha, and the I and IV COX subunits in soleus. The muscle specific response to thyroid hormones could be explained by a lower content of TH receptors in plantaris than soleus. Moreover, TRalpha mRNA level decreased further after T3 treatment. These results demonstrate that TH has a major effect on mitochondrial content, regulation and coupling in slow oxidative muscle, but to a lesser extent in fast muscle, due to the high expression of TH receptors and PGC-1alpha transcription factor.

Abstract
Both functional overload and hindlimb disuse induce significant energy-dependent remodeling of skeletal muscle. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an important enzyme involved in anaerobic glycolysis, catalyzes the interconversion of lactate and pyruvate critical for meeting rapid high-energy demands. The purpose of this study was to determine rat soleus LDH-A and -B isoform expression, mRNA abundance, and enzymatic activity at the onset of increased or decreased loading in the rat soleus muscle. The soleus muscles from male Sprague-Dawley rats were functionally overloaded for up to 3 days by a modified synergist ablation or subjected to disuse by hindlimb suspension for 3 days. LDH mRNA concentration was determined by Northern blotting, LDH protein isoenzyme composition was determined by zymogram analysis, and LDH enzymatic activity was determined spectrophotometrically. LDH-A mRNA abundance increased by 372%, and LDH-B mRNA abundance decreased by 43 and 31% after 24 h and 3 days of functional overload, respectively, compared with that in control rats. LDH protein expression demonstrated a shift by decreasing LDH-B isoforms and increasing LDH-A isoforms. LDH-B activity decreased 80% after 3 days of functional overload. Additionally, LDH-A activity increased by 234% following 3 days of hindlimb suspension. However, neither LDH-A or LDH-B mRNA abundance was affected following 3 days of hindlimb suspension. In summary, the onset of altered loading induced a differential expression of LDH-A and -B in the rat soleus muscle, favoring rapid energy production. Long-term altered loading is associated with myofiber conversion; however, the rapid changes in LDH at the onset of altered loading may be involved in other physiological processes.

Abstract
The creatine kinase system (CK) is important for energy delivery in skeletal and cardiac muscles. The two main isoforms of this enzyme, cytosolic MM-CK and mitochondrial mi-CK, are expressed in a developmental and muscle-type specific manner. Mice deficient in one or both of these isoforms are viable and fertile but exhibit profound functional, metabolic and structural muscle remodelling that primarily affects fast skeletal muscles, which show an increased contribution of oxidative metabolism to contractile function. However, the consequences of these alterations in terms of physical capabilities have not yet been characterized. Consequently, we compared the voluntary exercise capacity of 9-month-old male wild-type (WT), M-CK knockout (M-CK(-/-)), and M-CK and mi-CK double knockout (CK(-/-)) mice, using cages equipped with running wheels. Exercise performance, calculated by total distance covered and by work done during the training period, was more than 10-fold lower in CK(-/-) mice than controls, with M-CK(-/-) mice exhibiting intermediate performance. Similarly, the mean distance run per activation was lower in M-CK(-/-) and even lower in CK(-/-) mice. However, the maximal running speed (V(max)) was lower only for CK(-/-) mice. This was accompanied by severe skeletal muscle mass decrease in CK(-/-) mice, with signs of histological damage that included enlarged interstitial areas, aggregations of mononuclear cells in the interstitium, heterogeneity of myofibre size and the presence of very small fibres. No overt sign of cardiac dysfunction was observed by magnetic resonance imaging during dobutamine stimulation. These results show that metabolic failure induced by CK deficiency profoundly affects the ability of mice to engage in chronic bouts of endurance running exercise and that this decrease in performance is also associated with muscle wasting.

Abstract
Of the two known vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors (VPAC1R and VPAC2R), the VPAC2R is expressed in skeletal muscle. To evaluate the function of the VPAC2R in the physiological control of skeletal muscle mass, we utilized the VPAC1R selective agonist [K15,R16,L27]VIP(1-7) GRF(8-27)-NH2 and the VPAC2R selective agonist Ro-25-1553 to treat mice and rats undergoing either nerve damage-, corticosteroid-, or disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. These analyses demonstrated that activation of VPAC2R, but not VPAC1R, reduced the loss of skeletal muscle mass and force during conditions of skeletal muscle atrophy resulting from corticosteroid administration, denervation, casting-induced disuse, increased skeletal muscle mass, and force of nonatrophying muscles. These studies indicate that VPAC2R agonists may have utility for the treatment of skeletal muscle-wasting diseases.

Abstract
In adult mammalian muscle cells, energy consuming processes are mainly localized to the sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and myofibrillar compartments, while energy production occurs within mitochondria or glycolytic complexes. Due to the restricted diffusion of adenine nucleotides near the active sites of ATPases involved in contractile activity and calcium homeostasis, there are multiple local systems that can locally rephosphorylate ADP and provide ATP. The creatine kinase (CK) system, with specific isoenzymes localized within each compartment, efficiently controls local adenylate pools and links energy production and utilization. However, mice lacking one or both of the MM-CK and mi-CK isoforms (CK-/-) are viable and develop almost normal cardiac and skeletal muscle function under the conditions of moderate workload, suggesting adaptations or other mechanisms that may ensure efficient energy transfer. While fixed CK is essentially important, other systems could also be involved as well, such as bound glycolytic enzymes or adenylate kinase. We have shown that, additionally, a direct functional interplay exists between mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum, or between mitochondria and myofilaments in muscle cells, that catalyzes direct energy and signal transfer between organelles. In cardiac cells of CK-/- mice, marked cytoarchitectural modifications were observed, and direct adenine nucleotide channeling between mitochondria and organelles was very effective to rescue SR and myofilament functions. In fast skeletal muscles, increased oxidative capacity also indicates compensatory mechanisms. In mutant mice, mitochondrial capacity increases and a direct energy channeling occurs between mitochondria on one hand and ATP consuming sites on the other. However, these systems appear to be insufficient to fully compensate for the lack of CK at high workload. It can be concluded that local rephosphorylation of ADP is a crucial regulatory point in highly differentiated and organized muscle cells to ensure contractile diversity and efficiency and that the CK system is important to control energy fluxes and energy homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to determine whether skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, fiber type proportions, and fiber size, capillary density or muscle mass might explain the impaired exercise tolerance in chronic heart failure (CHF). Previous studies are equivocal regarding the maladaptations that occur in the skeletal muscle of patients with CHF and their role in the observed exercise intolerance. Methods and results Total body O(2) uptake (VO(2peak)) was determined in 14 CHF patients and 8 healthy sedentary similar-age controls. Muscle samples were analyzed for mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production rate (MAPR), oxidative and glycolytic enzyme activity, fiber size and type, and capillary density. CHF patients demonstrated a lower VO(2peak) (15.1+/-1.1 versus 28.1+/-2.3 mL.kg(-1).min(-1), P<.001) and capillary to fiber ratio (1.09+/-0.05 versus 1.40+/-0.04; P<.001) when compared with controls. However, there was no difference in capillary density (capillaries per square millimeter) across any of the fiber types. Measurements of MAPR and oxidative enzyme activity suggested no difference in muscle oxidative capacity between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Neither reductions in muscle oxidative capacity nor capillary density appear to be the cause of exercise limitation in this cohort of patients. Therefore, we hypothesize that the low VO(2peak) observed in CHF patients may be the result of fiber atrophy and possibly impaired activation of oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Two receptors activated by the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family of peptides have been identified, the CRF 1 receptor (CRF1R) and the CRF 2 receptor (CRF2R). Of these, the CRF2R is expressed in skeletal muscle. To understand the role of the CRF2R in skeletal muscle, we utilized CRFR knockout mice and CRF2R-selective agonists to modulate nerve damage and corticosteroid- and disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in mice. These analyses demonstrated that activation of the CRF2R decreased nerve damage and corticosteroid- and disuse-induced skeletal muscle mass and function loss. In addition, selective activation of the CRF2R increased nonatrophy skeletal muscle mass. Thus we describe for the first time a novel activity of the CRF2R, modulation of skeletal muscle mass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether intrinsic mitochondrial function and regulation were altered in heart transplant recipients (HTRs) and to investigate the response of mitochondrial function to six-week endurance training in these patients. BACKGROUND Despite the normalization of central oxygen transport during exercise, HTRs are still characterized by limited exercise capacity, which is thought to result from skeletal muscle metabolic abnormalities. METHODS Twenty HTRS agreed to have vastus lateralis biopsies and exercise testing: before and after training for 12 of them and before and after the same control period for eight subjects unwilling to train. Mitochondrial respiration was evaluated on saponin-permeabilized muscle fibers in the absence or presence (maximum respiration rate [V(max)]) of saturating adenosine diphosphate. RESULTS Mitochondrial function was preserved at the level of sedentary subjects in untrained HTRs, although they showed 28 +/- 5% functional aerobic impairment (FAI). After training, V(max), citrate synthase, cytochrome c oxidase, and mitochondrial creatine kinase (CK) activities were significantly increased by 48%, 40%, 67%, and 53%, respectively (p < 0.05), whereas FAI decreased to 12 +/- 5% (p < 0.01). The control of mitochondrial respiration by creatine and mitochondrial CK was also improved (p < 0.01), suggesting that phosphocreatine synthesis and transfer by the mitochondrial CK become coupled to oxidative phosphorylation, as shown in trained, healthy subjects. CONCLUSIONS In HTRs, the mitochondrial properties of skeletal muscle were preserved and responded well to training, reaching values of physically active, healthy subjects. This suggests that, in HTRs, immunosuppressive drugs do not alter the intrinsic muscle oxidative capacities and that the patients' physical handicap results from nonmitochondrial mechanisms.

Abstract
Fast-twitch skeletal muscle of mice deficient in cytosolic and mitochondrial creatine kinase isoforms (CK-/-) lack burst activity but can sustain prolonged contractile activity, suggesting that adaptive mechanisms can regulate local adenine nucleotide turnover. We investigated whether direct energy and signal channeling between mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) or myofilaments may exist that compensate for the lack of CK isoenzymes. Oxidative capacity of fast-twitch muscle was increased twofold in CK-/- mice. Energy cross talk between organelles was studied in muscle fibers with permeabilized sarcolemma. Energy supply to SR was estimated by analyzing the tension transient induced by caffeine and energy supply to myofilaments was estimated by the relaxation of rigor tension, both under different conditions of energy supply. In normal mice, ATP directly produced by mitochondria was not able to sustain calcium uptake and to relax rigor tension as efficiently as ATP produced by bound CK. However, in CK-/- mice, mitochondria ability to provide ATP for calcium uptake and relaxation of rigor tension was dramatically enhanced, suggesting a direct ATP/ADP channeling between sites of energy production mitochondria) and energy utilization in CK-/- mice. These results demonstrate two possible patterns of energy transport in muscle cells: energy store with phosphocreatine and energy flux through mitochondria.

Abstract
In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, inspiratory muscles face increased resistive and elastic workloads and therefore increased energy requirements. The adaptive response of these muscles to this higher energy demand includes increased oxidative enzymes and changes in contractile protein expression but the consequences on mitochondrial function and energy metabolism have not been assessed so far. We investigated the in situ properties of the mitochondria of costal diaphragm and external intercostal muscles using the skinned fiber technique in 9 emphysematous and 11 age-matched control patients. Biopsies obtained during thoracic surgery were placed in an oxygraphic chamber to measure maximal oxygen uptake. We observed that the maximal oxidative capacity of diaphragm and external intercostal muscles increased significantly in the emphysematous group compared with the control group (+135 and +37%, respectively). Significant correlations were found between the maximal oxidative capacity and patients' pulmonary indexes of obstruction (diaphragm: r = -0.637, intercostal: r = -0.667, p < 0.005) and hyperinflation (diaphragm: r = 0.639, p < 0.003, intercostal: r = 0.634, p < 0.01). Slow myosin heavy chain isoform increased in the diaphragm of the emphysematous group, with significant relationships between indexes of obstruction and hyperinflation and activities of biochemical mitochondrial markers. Thus, severe emphysema was associated with increased mitochondrial capacity and efficiency in the inspiratory muscles, supporting an endurance training-like effect.

Abstract
Oxidative capacity of muscles correlates with capillary density and with microcirculation, which in turn depend on various regulatory factors, including NO generated by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). To determine the role of eNOS in patterns of regulation of energy metabolism in various muscles, we studied mitochondrial respiration in situ in saponin-permeabilized fibres as well as the energy metabolism enzyme profile in the cardiac, soleus (oxidative) and gastrocnemius (glycolytic) muscles isolated from mice lacking eNOS (eNOS(-/-)). In soleus muscle, the absence of eNOS induced a marked decrease in both basal mitochondrial respiration without ADP (-32%; P <0.05) and maximal respiration in the presence of ADP (-29%; P <0.05). Furthermore, the eNOS(-/-) soleus muscle showed a decrease in total creatine kinase (-29%; P <0.05), citrate synthase (-31%; P <0.01), adenylate kinase (-27%; P <0.05), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (-43%; P <0.01) and pyruvate kinase (-26%; P <0.05) activities. The percentage of myosin heavy chains I (slow isoform) was significantly increased from 24.3+/-1.5% in control to 30.1+/-1.1% in eNOS(-/-) soleus muscle ( P <0.05) at the expense of a slight non-significant decrease in the three other (fast) isoforms. Besides, eNOS(-/-) soleus showed a 28% loss of weight. Interestingly, we did not find differences in any parameters in cardiac and gastrocnemius muscles compared with respective controls. These results show that eNOS knockout has an important effect on muscle oxidative capacity as well on the activities of energy metabolism enzymes in oxidative (soleus) muscle. The absence of such effects in cardiac and glycolytic (gastrocnemius) muscle suggests a specific role for eNOS-produced NO in oxidative skeletal muscle.

Abstract
This study explores the importance of creatine kinase (CK) in the regulation of muscle mitochondrial respiration in human subjects depending on their level of physical activity. Volunteers were classified as sedentary, active or athletic according to the total activity index as determined by the Baecke questionnaire in combination with maximal oxygen uptake values (peak V(O2), expressed in ml min(-1) kg(-1)). All volunteers underwent a cyclo-ergometric incremental exercise test to estimate their peak V(O2) and V(O2) at the ventilatory threshold (VT). Muscle biopsy samples were taken from the vastus lateralis and mitochondrial respiration was evaluated in an oxygraph cell on saponin permeabilised muscle fibres in the absence (V(0)) or in the presence (V(max)) of saturating [ADP]. While V(0) was similar, V(max) differed among groups (sedentary, 3.7 +/- 0.3, active, 5.9 +/- 0.9 and athletic, 7.9 +/- 0.5 micromol O2 min(-1) (g dry weight)(-1)). V(max) was correlated with peak V(O2) (P < 0.01, r = 0.63) and with V(T) (P < 0.01, r = 0.57). There was a significantly greater degree of coupling between oxidation and phosphorylation (V(max)/V(0)) in the athletic individuals. The mitochondrial K(m) for ADP was significantly higher in athletic subjects (P < 0.01). Mitochondrial CK (mi-CK) activation by addition of creatine induced a marked decrease in K(m) in athletic individuals only, indicative of an efficient coupling of mi-CK to ADP rephosphorylation in the athletic subjects only. It is suggested that increasing aerobic performance requires an enhancement of both muscle oxidative capacity and mechanisms of respiratory control, attesting to the importance of temporal co-ordination of energy fluxes by CK for higher efficacy.

Abstract
We hypothesized that in congestive heart failure (CHF) slow-twitch but not fast-twitch muscles exhibit decreased fatigue resistance in the sense of accelerated reduction of muscle force during activity. Experiments were carried out on anaesthetized rats 6 weeks after induction of myocardial infarction or a sham operation (Sham). Animals with left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) > 15 mmHg under anaesthesia were selected for the CHF group. There was no muscle atrophy in CHF. Force generation by in situ perfused soleus (Sol) or extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles was recorded during stimulation (trains at 5 Hz for 6 s (Sol) or 10 Hz for 1.5 s (EDL) at 10 or 2.5 s intervals, respectively) for 1 h in Sol and 10 min in EDL at 37 degrees C. Initial force was almost the same in Sol from CHF and Sham rats, but relaxation was slower in CHF. Relaxation times (95-5 % of peak force) were 177 +/- 55 and 131 +/- 44 ms in CHF and Sham, respectively, following the first stimulation train. After 2 min of stimulation the muscles transiently became slower and maximum relaxation times were 264 +/- 71 and 220 +/- 45 ms in CHF and Sham, respectively (P < 0.05). After 60 min they recovered to 204 +/- 60 and 122 +/- 55 ms in CHF and Sham, respectively (P < 0.05). In CHF but not in Sham rats the force of contraction of Sol declined from the second to the sixtieth minute to 70 % of peak force. The EDL of both CHF and Sham fatigued to 24-28 % of initial force, but no differences in contractility pattern were detected. Thus, slow-twitch muscle is severely affected in CHF by slower than normal relaxation and significantly reduced fatigue resistance, which may explain the sensation of both muscle stiffness and fatigue in CHF patients.

Abstract
Chronic congestive heart failure is a clinical syndrome that affects nearly 5 million people in the United States alone. Patients with this condition have symptoms of dyspnea and exertional fatigue that often limit their daily activities and decrease their quality of life. There has recently been a paradigm shift in the management of congestive heart failure. Current strategies are focusing on improving the central cardiopulmonary abnormalities, such as decreased ejection fraction and increased capillary wedge pressure, and interventions aimed at improving the numerous peripheral changes that occur with congestive heart failure. Exercise as a treatment modality has been shown to affect many of these peripheral changes, specifically abnormalities in the skeletal muscle, peripheral blood flow, and neurohormonal milieu, which improve with appropriate exercise regimes. Exercise also reduces the symptoms of exertional fatigue, improves quality of life, and increases survival. This article reviews the current experience with exercise and congestive heart failure and discusses strategies used to implement an exercise program for patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the in situ properties of muscle mitochondria using the skinned fiber technique in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and sedentary (SED) and more active (ACT) controls to determine: 1) whether respiration of muscle tissue in the SED and ACT groups correlates with peak oxygen consumption (pVO(2)), 2) whether it is altered in CHF, and 3) whether this results from deconditioning or CHF-specific myopathy. BACKGROUND Skeletal muscle oxidative capacity is thought to partly determine the exercise capacity in humans and its decrease to participate in exercise limitation in CHF. METHODS M. Vastus lateralis biopsies were obtained from 11 SED group members, 10 ACT group members and 15 patients with CHF at the time of transplantation, saponine-skinned and placed in an oxygraphic chamber to measure basal and maximal adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated (V(max)) respiration rates and to assess mitochondrial regulation by ADP. All patients received angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. RESULTS The pVO(2) differed in the order CHF < SED < ACT. Compared with SED, muscle alterations in CHF appeared as decreased citrate synthase, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, whereas the myosin heavy chain profile remained unchanged. However, muscle oxidative capacity (V(max), CHF: 3.53 +/- 0.38; SED: 3.17 +/- 0.48; ACT: 7.47 +/- 0.73, micromol O(2).min(-1).g(-1)dw, p < 0.001 vs. CHF and SED) and regulation were identical in patients in the CHF and SED groups, differing in the ACT group only. In patients with CHF, the correlation between pVO(2) and muscle oxidative capacity observed in controls was displaced toward lower pVO(2) values. CONCLUSIONS In these patients, the disease-specific muscle metabolic impairments derive mostly from extramitochondrial mechanisms that disrupt the normal symmorphosis relations. The possible roles of ACE inhibitors and level of activity are discussed.
