Resumo |
Eccentrically biased exercise results in skeletal muscle damage and stimulates adaptations in muscle, whereby indexes of damage<sup> </sup>are attenuated when the exercise is repeated. We hypothesized<sup> </sup>that changes in ultrastructural damage, inflammatory cell infiltration,<sup> </sup>and markers of proteolysis in skeletal muscle would come about<sup> </sup>as a result of repeated eccentric exercise and that gender may<sup> </sup>affect this adaptive response. Untrained male (<i>n</i> = 8) and female<sup> </sup>(<i>n</i> = 8) subjects performed two bouts (<i>bout 1</i> and <i>bout 2</i>), separated<sup> </sup>by 5.5 wk, of 36 repetitions of unilateral, eccentric leg press<sup> </sup>and 100 repetitions of unilateral, eccentric knee extension exercises<sup> </sup>(at 120% of their concentric single repetition maximum), the subjects'<sup> </sup>contralateral nonexercised leg served as a control (rest). Biopsies<sup> </sup>were taken from the vastus lateralis from each leg 24 h postexercise.<sup> </sup>After <i>bout 2</i>, the postexercise force deficit and the rise in serum<sup> </sup>creatine kinase (CK) activity were attenuated. Women had lower<sup> </sup>serum CK activity compared with men at all times (<i>P</i> < 0.05), but<sup> </sup>there were no gender differences in the relative magnitude of<sup> </sup>the force deficit. Muscle Z-disk streaming, quantified by using<sup> </sup>light microscopy, was elevated vs. rest only after <i>bout 1</i> (<i>P</i> <<sup> </sup>0.05), with no gender difference. Muscle neutrophil counts were<sup> </sup>significantly greater in women 24 h after <i>bout 2</i> vs. rest and<sup> </sup><i>bout 1</i> (<i>P</i> < 0.05) but were unchanged in men. Muscle macrophages<sup> </sup>were elevated in men and women after <i>bout 1</i> and<i>bout 2</i> (<i>P</i> < 0.05).<sup> </sup>Muscle protein content of the regulatory calpain subunit remained<sup> </sup>unchanged whereas ubiquitin-conjugated protein content was increased<sup> </sup>after both bouts (<i>P</i> < 0.05), with a greater increase after <i>bout<sup> </sup>2</i>. We conclude that adaptations to eccentric exercise are associated<sup> </sup>with attenuated serum CK activity and, potentially, an increase<sup> </sup>in the activity of the ubiquitin proteosome proteolytic<sup> </sup>pathway.<br /> |
