The relationships between the carnitine concentration and enzyme activities representative of different metabolic pathways, glycogenolysis, glycolysis, beta-oxidation of fatty acids, citric acid cycle, and respiratory chain were studied in skeletal muscle tissue from 18 volunteering subjects. In addition, the in vitro incorporation rates of glucose-carbon and palmitate-carbon into different metabolites, and the concentration of glycogen, triglycerides, and phospholipids were determined in the same tissue specimen. The carnitine concentration correlated positively and statistically significantly with the activities of 3-OH-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and citrate synthase, with the incorporation rate of palmitate-carbon into CO2, and the incorporation rate of glucose-carbon into lactate in the muscle tissue. The results indicate a coupling between the concentration of carnitine and the capacity for long-chained fatty acid oxidation in human skeletal muscles.

The activities (Vmax) of hexokinase, glycogen phosphorylase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, cytochrome c oxidase, and 3-OH-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase in human skeletal muscles were compared with the in vitro utilization of glucose and palmitic acid assessed under optimal conditions. Statistically significant correlations between substrate fluxes and enzyme activities were found suggesting that the substrate incorporation rate in vitro in some way reflects the capacity of metabolic pathways. The incorporation rate of leucine into muscle proteins was also statistically significantly correlated to the RNA concentration in the muscle tissue. Glycolytic and glycogenolytic enzymes correlated significantly to each other and correlations were also found between aerobic enzymes supporting the validity of constant proportions between certain key enzymes in human skeletal muscles.

Muscle biopsies were taken from the middle gluteal muscle in 163 healthy Thoroughbreds aged one to six years. The horses were separated according to sex and divided into four different age groups (one, two, three and four to six years). Muscle biopsies were analysed for fibre type (I, IIA and IIB), and the enzyme activities of citrate synthase, 3-OH-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and hexokinase were measured. The percentage of Type I fibres of all horses increased with age, irrespective of sex (from 9 to 16 per cent). The percentage of Type IIA fibres varied with age and sex, increasing in stallions from 34 to 53 per cent and in mares from 27 to 45 per cent, respectively. Correspondingly, the proportion of Type IIB fibres decreased with age and differed between sexes (stallions from 56 to 29 per cent and mares from 65 to 40 per cent) Muscle oxidative capacity increased with age as indicated by significant increases in the activities of citrate synthase (from 32 to 67 mmol/kg/min) and 3-OH-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (from 20 to 34 mmol/kg/min). The activity of hexokinase increased with age (from 2.4 to 4.8 mmol/kg/min), whereas the activity of lactate dehydrogenase decreased (from 1,754 to 1,444 mmol/kg/min). No differences were seen between stallions and mares in enzyme activities. This study shows that age is one factor influencing enzyme activities, the percentage of Type I fibres and the Type IIA/IIB ratio in M. gluteus medius of Thoroughbreds, and that stallions have a higher Type IIA/IIB ratio compared with mares.

Subjective fatigue was quantified before and 20 days after uncomplicated elective abdominal surgery in 12 patients and compared with changes in heart rate, enzyme activities and skeletal muscle substrates before and after bicycle exercise for 10 min at 65 per cent of patients' preoperative maximum work capacity. Fatigue increased from a mean(s.e.m.) preoperative level of 2.5(0.5) arbitrary units to 4.6(0.5) on postoperative day 20 (P less than 0.01). Body-weight, triceps skinfold thickness and arm circumference decreased postoperatively (P less than 0.02). Postoperative values of muscle enzyme activities indicative of oxidative phosphorylation capacity (citrate synthase and 3-OH-acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase) were lower than preoperative values (P less than 0.05). Lactate dehydrogenase was unaltered and resting values of muscle glycogen and adenosine triphosphate were higher after operation (P less than 0.05). In response to exercise, heart rate, muscle glucose, glucose-6-phosphate and lactate increased (P less than 0.05), while muscle glycogen and creatine phosphate decreased (P less than 0.05). Increase in postoperative fatigue correlated with the increase in heart rate (P less than 0.05), while no significant correlations were found between fatigue and muscle parameters. Our results suggest that lack of exercise and malnutrition may be of importance in the decrease in work capacity and in fatigue after operation.

Five Standardbred trotters were trained on a treadmill 3 times/wk for 12 wk by intervals of draft-loaded exercise. The draft load was 34 kp and the velocity approximately 7 m/s. Muscle biopsies were taken from the gluteus medius and longissimus muscles before training and after 2, 4, 8, and 12 wk of training and from the brachiocephalicus muscle before and after training. Both the percentage and the area of type IIa fibers increased and the percentage of type IIb fibers decreased in the gluteus medius muscle during the first 2 wk of training, and then no further significant difference was noted. The percentage of type I fibers increased in the brachiocephalicus muscle, and the area of type IIb fibers increased in the longissimus muscle. The citrate synthase activity increased in the gluteus muscle only, and the increase was seen during the first 2 wk. No significant differences were seen in 3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase activities in the muscles during the entire training period. Less glycogen was utilized in the gluteus muscle and less blood lactate accumulated when the horses performed an unloaded submaximal exercise test after compared with before training. It can be concluded that rapid changes are induced in the gluteus medius muscle when horses are trained pulling a light-draft resistance at a submaximal trotting speed.

Tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of four small mammals were subjected to chronic nerve stimulation for 28 days (10 Hz, 10 hours per day). Total cellular activities of phosphofructokinase (PFK), hexokinase (HK), citrate synthase (CS), 3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH) and 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) were measured in the stimulated and unstimulated contralateral muscles. Normal TA muscles displayed ranges of oxidative and glycolytic capacities with rabbit TA showing the lowest and mouse TA the highest oxidative capacity. Chronic stimulation was almost without effect in mouse TA. In all other species, glycolytic capacity was decreased and reference enzymes of aerobic-oxidative pathways were increased. Rabbit TA displayed the highest increment in oxidative capacity with approximately three-fold increases in CS and HADH and eleven-fold increases in HBDH. Different responses were also observed for HK. In some cases, the extent of adaptation appeared to be independent of the initial enzyme activity levels, while in other cases it appeared to follow an order which corresponded to the size of the animals. Thus, there exist species-specific ranges of adaptation and adaptive alterations in one species may not necessarily reflect the adaptive response of another species.

A morphometric analysis was performed on horse muscle tissue to quantify mitochondrial distribution relative to capillaries. Samples of M. vastus medialis, M. semitendinosus, M. masseter and M. cutaneus thoracicus were preserved in a glutaraldehyde fixative for electron microscopy, or frozen for biochemical and histochemical analysis. These four muscles varied from highly oxidative in type, consisting nearly completely of type I fibres, in masseter, to highly glycolytic, primarily type IIb fibres, in cutaneus. In all four muscles, mitochondria were found in highest volume density near capillaries at the fibre border, with a sharp decline in volume density towards the fibre centre. This distribution was independent of myoglobin concentration, muscle fibre type and the activities of three key metabolic enzymes, citrate synthase, 3-OH-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase.

Seven middle-aged men with manifest type II diabetes mellitus underwent an endurance training programme for 10-15 weeks. The maximal aerobic capacity, as well as the endurance capacity, was improved by 10% (p less than 0.05). The intramuscular glycogen store increased by more than 80% (p less than 0.05) from 350 mumol/g dw (dry weight), and the activities of citrate synthase and 3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase increased by more than 50% (p less than 0.05) and 30% (p less than 0.05). The activity of glycogen synthase was decreased by approximately 20% (p less than 0.05), whereas lactate dehydrogenase remained unchanged. Capillaries/fibre and fibre area increased by more than 50% (p less than 0.05) and 30% (p less than 0.05) leaving the area of supply constant. Training did not influence fasting blood lipids and glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, oral glucose tolerance, and insulin response to an oral glucose load measured 72 hours post-exercise. It is concluded that patients with manifest type II diabetes, as normoglycaemic individuals, adapt to physical training. However, no persistent effect on glucohomeostasis and lipaemia is produced by short-term training in the diabetic patients.

Men with regular physical training habits voluntarily increased their dietary fat intake from 43 to 54% of energy (E%) for four weeks. This was followed by a low-fat (29 E%), high-carbohydrate diet for another four weeks. During the high-fat diet period, the muscle lipoprotein lipase activity (LPLA) increased from 59 +/- 8 to 106 +/- 12 mU/g (mean +/- SE) (P less than 0.05). After the high-carbohydrate diet, LPLA was 57 +/- 16 mU/g, and unchanged relative to the pre-trial value. The triglyceride content in m. vastus lateralis increased from 30 +/- 4 to 47 +/- 9 mmol/kg d.w. (P less than 0.05; mean +/- SE) following the high-fat diet and to 41 +/- 8 following the high-carbohydrate diet. Neither of the diets affected the serum triglyceride and insulin concentrations, nor glucose, glycerol, beta-hydroxybutyrate, citrate and lactate levels in the blood. Nor did they alter enzyme activities in muscle used as markers for the oxidative (citrate synthase, beta-hydroxy-acyl CoA dehydrogenase) and glycolytic (glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase) capacity. It is concluded that one month's adaptation to a high-fat diet results in increased muscle-LPL activity indicating a higher capacity for uptake of fatty acids from circulating serum triglycerides into the muscle cell in association with a greater capacity for triglyceride storage in the muscle. Under these conditions serum triglycerides were not decreased despite the increased muscle LPLA, and serum insulin variations could not explain the change in muscle LPLA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Muscle biopsy samples were collected from the middle gluteal muscle of seven horses undergoing a nine-month endurance training programme. Samples were collected before the programme began and again after three, six and nine months of training. A fifth sample was collected three months after training ceased. Serial muscle sections were reacted histochemically for myosin adenosine triphosphatase after either acid (pH 4.3 and 4.6) or alkaline (pH 10.3) pre-incubation, and muscle fibres identified as type I, IIA, IIB or IIC. The oxidative capacity of individual fibres was assessed, using the reduced nicotinamide dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase stain, and the number of intermyofibrillar capillaries adjacent to each fibre was counted after staining, using the alpha-amylase periodic acid Schiff technique. Biochemical analyses involved the fluorometric measurement of the enzymes citrate synthase, 3-hydroxy acyl CoA dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase as markers of end terminal oxidative, beta oxidative and glycolytic potential, respectively. There was an increase in the percentage of type IIB fibres having high nicotinamide dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase staining after three months training. This increase persisted throughout the period of training and during the period without training. There was an increase in the number of capillaries adjacent to type IIB fibres after six and nine months training. These had returned to near pre-training numbers after three months without training. There were increases in the activities of citrate synthase and 3-hydroxy acyl CoA dehydrogenase after three months training. The activities of both enzymes continued to rise throughout training and the highest activities were attained after nine months.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
