运动对大鼠腓肠肌一氧化氮含量和铁转运蛋白表达的影响

目的观察游泳运动后大鼠腓肠肌一氧化氮(NO)含量及铁转运相关蛋白表达的变化,探讨运动对骨骼肌铁代谢的调节机制。方法20只雌性SD大鼠随机分为对照组和运动组(每天游泳1.5小时,6次/周),每组10只。实验10周后分别采用试剂盒测定两组大鼠腓肠肌和血清一氧化氮合酶(NOS)活性及NO含量,免疫组织化学方法测定腓肠肌二价金属离子转运体1(DMT1)、膜铁转运蛋白1(FP1)和转铁蛋白受体1(TfR1)的表达,分析其平均光密度变化。结果(1)运动组大鼠血清和腓肠肌NO含量和NOS活性均显著高于对照组(P<0.05);(2)运动组大鼠腓肠肌DMT1(IRE)和TfR1表达较对照组显著增加,FP1表达显著减少(P<0.05),而DMT1(non-IRE)表达无明显变化。结果提示运动可能通过增加NOS活性刺激NO合成增加,进而调节腓肠肌铁转运蛋白的表达,提高腓肠肌摄铁能力,以满足运动中机体对铁的需求。

Biotyping of aerobic actinomycetes by modified killer system

Forty-four yeasts belonging to the genera Pichia, Candida, Saccharomyces and Kluyveromyces were tested for their potential killer effect on 13 aerobic actinomycetes (6 Nocardia asteroides, 1 N. brasiliensis, 1 N. caviae and 5 Actinomadura madurae). Only a few yeast strains did not display any killer activity against the aerobic actinomycetes studied, thus confirming that the killer phenomenon is widespread among microorganisms. For epidemiological purposes, a killer system was developed. According to their susceptibility to the 9 killer yeasts chosen, it was possible to differentiate the Nocardia and Actinomadura isolates into biotypes. Fitting conditions of the killer system to potential sensitive microorganisms with different characteristics of growth are also discussed.     

Effect of low glycogen on glycogen synthase in human muscle during and after exercise

Subjects cycled at a work load calculated to elicit 75% of maximal oxygen uptake on two occasions: the first to fatigue (34.5 ± 5.3 min; mean ± SE), and the second at the same workload and for the same duration as the first. Biopsies were obtained from the quadriceps femoris muscle before and immediately after exercise, and 5 min post-exercise. Before the first experiment, muscle glycogen was lowered by a combination of exercise and diet, and before the second, experiment muscle glycogen was elevated. In the low glycogen condition (LG), muscle glycogen decreased from 169 ± 15 mmol glucosyl units kg^-1dry wt at to rest to 13 ± 6 after exercise. In the high glycogen condition (HG) glycogen decreased from 706 ± 52 at rest to 405 ± 68 after exercise. Glycogen synthase fractional activity (GSF) was always higher during the LG treatment. During exercise in the HG condition, those subjects who cycled for < 35 min (n= 3) had GSF values in muscle which were lower than at rest, whereas those subjects who cycled for > 35 min (n= 4) had values which were similar to or higher than at rest. Thus the change in GSF in muscle during HG was positively related to the exercise duration (r= 0.94; y = 254–17x + 0.3x²; P < 0.001) and negatively related to the glycogen content at the end of exercise (r=–0.82; y= 516–2x + 0.001x²; P < 0.05). During LG exercise GSF remained constant. GSF increased markedly after 5 min post-exercise in both HG and LG conditions. cAMP dependent protein kinase activity increased similarly during both LG and HG exercise and reverted to the preexercise values 5 min post-exercise. It is concluded that muscle contraction decreases GSF, but low glycogen levels can attenuate or abolish the decrease in GSF. The rapid increase of GSF during recovery from exercise does not require glycogen depletion during the exercise.     

The Effect of Acute and Chronic Exercise on Thyroid Hormones in Obesity

Abstract Thyroid hormones were measured before, during and after acute exercise (60 min) or physical training (3 months) in obese women. Thyroid stimulating hormone concentration increased during acute work and decreased immediately after. No changes were seen during the two following days. An increase was seen after ten days as well as after three months of physical training. Thyroxine concentrations showed no changes. 3,5,3′-Triiodothyronine decreased slightly immediately after acute exercise, and after three months of physical training, 3,3′,5′-triiodothyronine (reverse triiodothyronine) increased slowly during and after acute exercise. A negative correlation was found between changes in fasting insulin and thyroxine and a positive correlation between changes in blood pressure and triiodothyronine after training. Lack of agreement in previous reports is probably due to methodological differences such as methods more or less susceptible to fatty acid interference, and thyroid hormones changing differently during acute work and before and after physical training. The duration of the study may also be of importance, even 3 months possibly being too short for attaining equilibrium in thyroid homeostasis.     

Left ventricle haemodynamics and vaso-active hormones during graded supine exercise in healthy male subjects

Left ventricle systolic and diastolic functional parameters were measured by gated equilibrium radionuclide cardiography in 12 healthy men (age 33–51 years) at rest and during graded supine exercise. The leftventricle end-diastolic volume showed an initial small (11%) increase during low submaximal exercise [from mean 163 (SD 40) at rest to mean 181 (SD 48) ml], while left ventricle end-systolic volume decreased successively [from mean 59 (SD 19) to mean 39 (SD 21) ml] with increasing exercise. Stroke volume was therefore elevated at all exercise levels compared with rest [mean 104 (SD 23) ml], and the peak value [mean 128 (SD 33) ml] was found at the lowest exercise level, contributing 40% to the initial increase in cardiac output. Cardiac output increased from mean 6.2 (SD 1.4) at rest to mean 20.2 (SD 5.0) 1 · min^–1 at maximum. Left ventricle peak ejection and peak filling rates increased from mean 449 (SD 89) and mean 442 (SD 85) ml · s^–1 at rest to mean 996 (SD 227) and mean 1255 (SD 333) ml · s^–1, respectively, at maximum. The myocardium oxygen consumption, assumed to be proportional to the sum of the stroke work and the potential energy, increased fourfold, but absolute values were twice as high as expected, indicating that extrapolation from data obtained in dog hearts (as we have done) cannot be directly applied to humans. Selected vaso-active hormones were measured at all exercise intensities. Noradrenaline (NA), adrenaline (A) and angiotensin II (AII) concentrations showed a very pronounced increase at maximal exercise compared with the preceding lower intensites, while atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and cyclic guanosinemonophosphate (cGMP) concentrations showed a more continuous increase, and dopamine (DA) remained almost unchanged. This speaks in favour of a crucial role for NA, A and AII in preserving blood pressure at maximum exercise, while DA probably has no importance for the cardiovascular homeostasis during exercise. Increases in concentrations of ANF and cGMP were highly correlated (r = 0.86). Our data supported the opinion that there is a cardiac limitation to maximal performance connected to the cardiac pumping capacity.

The effects of brisk walking on markers of bone and calcium metabolism in postmenopausal women

Weight-bearing exercise has been shown to maintain or increase bone mass in younger as well as older individuals but the mechanisms by which mechanical loading affects bone metabolism are not known in detail. Twelve postmenopausal women participated in a single bout of brisk walking (50% of VO_{2 max}) for 90 minuttes. Calciotropic hormones and markers of type I collagen formation (PICP) and degradation (ICTP) were measured before the exercise, and 1, 24, and 72 hours following the exercise. Total body bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Brisk walking did not induce any significant changes in the concentrations of ionized calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin, or osteocalcin. A significant increase of PICP was noted 24 and 72 hours (P<0.01) after exertion and a significant decrease in the concentration of serum ICTP at 1 hour (P<0.05) was followed by an increase at 72 hours (P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the increases in the concentrations of PICP and ICTP at 72 hours. Strong inverse correlations between the basal levels of PTH and BMD (r=−0.78;P<0.01) as well as between osteocalcin and BMD (r=−0.83;P<0.01) were noticed. The changes in serum levels of bone collagen markers indicate an altered bone collagen turnover due to this moderate endurance exercise. The results also support the fact that serum levels of PTH as well as those of osteocalcin are associated with total body BMD in postmenopausal women.     

Short and long term effects of exercise training on the tonic autonomic modulation of heart rate variability after myocardial infarction

We studied the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on the sympathovagalcontrol of heart rate variability in 30 patients after a first,uncomplicated myocardial infarction. Twenty-two patients completed8 weeks of endurance training (trained), while eight decidednot to engage in the rehabilitation programme for logisticalreasons, and were taken as untrained controls. Age, site ofinfarction, ejection fraction, ventricular diameter and stresstest duration were similar in the two groups at baseline. Heartrate variability was evaluated 4 weeks after infarction beforestarting rehabilitation, and repeated 8 weeks and one year laterin both trained and untrained patients. Measures of heart ratevariability, obtained from both time- and frequency- domainanalysis of a 15 min ECG recording in resting conditions, wereas follows: mean RR interval and its standard deviation (RRSD),the mean square successive differences (MSSD), the percent ofRR intervals differing >50 ms from the preceding RR (pNTN50),the low and high frequency components of the autoregressivepower spectrum of the RR intervals and their ratio (LF/HF).At baseline, heart rate variability was similar in trained anduntrained patients. In the short term (8 weeks after infarction),training increased RRSD by 25% (P<0·01), MSSD by 69%(P<0·01), pNN50 by 120% (P<0·01), and reducedLF/HF ratio by 30% (P<0·01). The effects persistedafter one year in trained patients. In untrained patients, theautonomic control of heart rate variability did not change 8weeks after myocardial infarction and was only slightly modifiedby time. Thus, exercise training, performed for 8 weeks aftera myocardial infarction, modifies the sympathovagal controlof heart rate variability toward a persistent increase in parasympathetictone, known to be associated with a better prognosis. This maypartly account for the favourable outcome of patients who undergorehabilitation.
