The purpose of this study was to determine if the accumulation of the 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) is elevated in response to a prolonged bout of submaximal exercise in which colonic temperature (Tco) remained at control levels. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of four testing groups [n = 8 per group; ambient temperatures (Ta) for each condition are included]: 1) control (cool/rest; Ta = 24 degrees C); 2) cool and exercise (cool/exercise; Ta = 14 degrees C); 3) nonexertional heating (heat/rest; Ta = 42 degrees C); 4) heat and exercise (heat/exercise; Ta = 32 degrees C). All interventions were approximately 60 min in duration. An exercise bout consisted of treadmill running at 17 m/min and 0% grade, while the heat/rest and heat/exercise experiments consisted of heat exposure that was terminated when Tco reached 41 degrees C. Baseline Tco was similar for all four groups. In the cool/rest and cool/exercise groups, final Tco was not different from the baseline values, nor was it different between these two groups. In the heat/rest and heat/exercise groups, heating rates were similar. Tissue samples were obtained from the gastrocnemius, soleus, and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of the left hindlimb and the left ventricle 30 min after a trial was completed. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific for HSP70 was used to directly quantitate absolute levels of HSP70 in tissues. There were significant main effects of both heating and exercise for HSP70 levels in the gastrocnemius, soleus, and left ventricle (P < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Previous studies show that elevations in blood pressure induce concomitant increases in both cardiac mass and slow beta-myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression in rodents, whereas caloric restriction of 50% (CR) causes an increase in beta-MHC while modestly lowering blood pressure in normotensive rats. The goals of this study were to 1) determine if beta-MHC expression could be independently regulated by CR and hypertension when these two interventions are combined and 2) determine if CR exerts a lowering of blood pressure in two contrasting models of rodent hypertension. Rodents were assigned to the following groups: 1) normal control (NC); 2) abdominal aortic constriction (Abcon), a model that induces hypertension via renin-angiotensin II; 3) nephrectomy-deoxycorticosterone acetate treatment (DOCA), a model that induces hypertension through increased salt retention; 4) CR; 5) Abcon+CR; 6) DOCA+CR. Results show that both Abcon and DOCA induced significant increases in systemic blood pressures, left ventricular (LV) weight/body weight, and the relative content of beta-MHC compared with NC. When applied in combination with either Abcon or DOCA, CR significantly blunted the changes observed in both systemic blood pressures and LV weight/body weight. In contrast, CR in conjunction with DOCA augmented % beta-MHC expression relative to either DOCA or CR alone. These data suggest 1) caloric restriction exerts a powerful impact on reducing experimentally induced hypertension in rodents and 2) the regulation of beta-MHC expression appears to be regulated by at least two processes, one associated with the stimulus of hypertension and the other involving an independent pathway linked to caloric restriction.

Functional data suggest that the kinetics of force production and relaxation are slowed in hypertrophied skeletal muscle because of chronic overload. The purpose of this study was to determine whether gene expression of the slow/cardiac isoform of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) pump is upregulated in overloaded fast-twitch plantaris muscles. Increased active muscle loading was induced in rat plantaris muscles bilaterally by surgical removal of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Mass of the plantaris muscle was 80% greater 5 wk after surgery than in age-matched unoperated control rats (P < 0.05). Expression of the slow pump mRNA was 135% greater in hypertrophied muscles, as determined from autoradiograms of Northern blots with use of a cDNA probe specific for the slow/cardiac isoform. A monoclonal antibody (7E6) was used to quantify slow Ca2+ pump in SR vesicles with use of Western blot analysis. Densitometry of blots showed that the relative expression of the slow pump protein was 130% greater in hypertrophied plantaris muscles. Expression of the fast SR Ca2+ pump protein isoform, assessed using monoclonal antibody A52, was 25% less in hypertrophied than in control muscles. The Ca2+ uptake rate and ATPase activity of SR vesicles was approximately 15% lower in hypertrophied plantaris muscles (P < 0.05). Differential phospholamban expression could not account for changes in SR Ca2+ handling, because it could not be detected in rat slow- or fast-twitch skeletal muscle.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

These studies were undertaken to investigate the relationship between regional hemodynamic and hemorheological changes in the microvasculature of diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by injection of streptozotocin (55 mg/kg body wt). Control rats were injected with vehicle (sodium citrate buffer). A subgroup of diabetic rats was treated with an aldose reductase inhibitor (sorbinil) added to the diet in an amount to provide a daily dose of approximately 0.2 mmol.kg-1.day-1. Three weeks later all animals were anesthetized with thiobutabarbital sodium (Inactin, 100 mg/kg injected intraperitoneally) for assessment of blood flow (by injection of 15 microns microspheres) and regional hematocrit (determined by isotope-dilution techniques using 51Cr-labeled red blood cells and 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin) in selected tissues. The hematocrit in arterial blood samples was identical (approximately 46%) in controls and in diabetics. Regional hematocrits were much lower than arterial hematocrits in control rats and ranged from approximately 20% in ocular tissues, sciatic nerve, diaphragm, and skin to approximately 30% in brain, skeletal muscle, heart, and fat. Hematocrits of diabetic rats were markedly increased in ocular tissues, sciatic nerve, and skin but not in brain, heart, or skeletal muscle. These increases in regional hematocrit were associated with increases in blood flow and were largely prevented by sorbinil. Diabetes induced significant decreases in the mean transit times for whole blood and erythrocytes in all tissues examined except brain, retina, and skin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The presence of circulating inhibitors able to decrease the renal Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activity (natriuretic hormones) was postulated some 30 years ago. In the present work, the natriuretic inhibitor HgCl2 was selected as a model compound for the structural characterization of a possible natriuretic pathway for Na-K-ATPase modification. The structural effects of Na-K-ATPase inhibition by HgCl2 were assessed by trypsinolysis of the blocked enzyme in comparison with untreated preparations. The results show that inactivation of Na-K-ATPase by HgCl2 leads to the release of the alpha-subunit from the membrane preferentially in the E2 conformation but also in the E1 conformation. Apparently, HgCl2 weakens the membrane anchoring of the alpha-subunit, presumably by loosening the alpha-beta-subunit interaction. By this mechanism, the sensitivity of the Na-K-ATPase to extracellular drugs, hormones, and antibodies, as well as to intracellular proteases and other regulatory factors, could be altered.
循环抑制剂能够降低肾na - k -腺苷三磷酸酶(atp酶)活性(利钠激素)的存在大约在30年前被假设。在本研究中,我们选择了利钠抑制剂HgCl2作为模型化合物,对na - k - atp酶修饰的可能的利钠途径进行结构表征。HgCl2对na - k - atp酶抑制的结构效应通过胰蛋白酶溶解被阻断的酶来评估,并与未处理的制剂进行比较。结果表明,HgCl2对na - k - atp酶的失活导致α -亚基在E2构象和E1构象中优先从膜上释放。显然,HgCl2削弱了α -亚基的膜锚定,可能是通过放松α - β -亚基相互作用。通过这种机制,na - k - atp酶对细胞外药物、激素和抗体的敏感性以及对细胞内蛋白酶和其他调节因子的敏感性可以被改变。

This study was designed to examine the effects of stimulation and fat availability on the contents of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), free CoA (CoASH), acetylcarnitine, and free carnitine in the oxidative fiber types of rat skeletal muscle. Hindlimb muscles were perfused with no exogenous free fatty acids (FFA) or high FFA (0.93 +/- 0.03 mM) for 10 min at rest and during isometric, tetanic stimulation. Soleus (SOL) and red gastrocnemius (RG) muscles were sampled prior to perfusion and following rest perfusion and 1 and 5 min of stimulation. The SOL muscle contains predominantly slow oxidative (SO) fibers and the RG contains 56% fast oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) and 35% SO fibers. O2 uptake and tetanic tension production were similar in the fat-free and high FFA treatments. Rest perfusion with high FFA increased acetyl-CoA from 14.6 +/- 1.0 to 20.1 +/- 2.5 nmol/g dry muscle (dm) and acetylcarnitine from 0.12 +/- 0.01 to 0.78 +/- 0.18 mumol/g dm in the RG, while fat-free perfusion had no effect. The SOL results were similar as high FFA increased acetyl-CoA from 7.7 +/- 1.0 to 14.2 +/- 3.1 nmol/g dm and acetylcarnitine from 0.14 +/- 0.02 to 0.49 +/- 0.09 mumol/g dm. Stimulation increased acetyl-CoA and acetylcarnitine to values above rest in SOL and RG in both treatments and removed all fat-free and high-fat differences. The decreases in CoASH and free carnitine were reciprocal to the increases in acetyl-CoA and acetylcarnitine at all time points in both muscles such that total CoA and carnitine were constant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Arteriovenous difference and tracer dilution techniques were utilized to determine the effect of exercise on whole body, gut, liver, and splanchnic leucine kinetics. Five postabsorptive dogs were infused with [1-13C]leucine and studied during rest, 90 min of moderate-intensity treadmill exercise (1st 45 min, early; last 45 min, late exercise), and 90 min of recovery. The whole body leucine rate of appearance (Rai; mumol.min 1.kg-1) increased from rest (3.33 +/- 0.11) during early (3.68 +/- 0.14) and late (4.24 +/- 0.27, P < 0.05) exercise and was 3.41 +/- 0.19 during recovery. Gut Ra increased from rest (0.64 +/- 0.08) during early (0.92 +/- 0.12) and late (1.30 +/- 0.20, P < 0.05) exercise and was 0.77 +/- 0.16 during recovery. Liver leucine Ra did not significantly change (P > 0.05). The whole body leucine rate of disappearance (Rd) paralleled whole body leucine Ra throughout. Leucine Rd across the gut, liver, and splanchnic bed, however, did not significantly change (P > 0.05), indicating an increase in leucine uptake outside of these regions. Because active skeletal muscle is likely the principal consumer of these amino acids, the data suggest that gut protein-derived amino acids are utilized for the attenuation of net muscle protein catabolism during and immediately following exercise.
