The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a single period of swim exercise to exhaustion on the cellular distribution of hexokinase in rat skeletal muscle. The gastrocnemius muscle from male rats exercised (n = 16) to exhaustion or allowed to remain inactive (n = 14) was analyzed for hexokinase activity (HK) in the whole muscle homogenate and the mitochondrial-rich fraction. Although exercise produced a slight, non-significant, increase in HK activity in the whole muscle homogenate (p less than 0.09), HK activity in the mitochondrial-rich fraction was significantly increased in the exercised muscle (p less than 0.02). This shift in the cellular distribution of HK is towards the more active mitochondrial bound form and indicates an enhanced regulation of HK activity during physical exercise.

D005221 Fatigue The state of weariness following a period of exertion, mental or physical, characterized by a decreased capacity for work and reduced efficiency to respond to stimuli. Lassitude
D006593 Hexokinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and a D-hexose to ADP and a D-hexose 6-phosphate. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, sorbitol, and D-glucosamine can act as acceptors; ITP and dATP can act as donors. The liver isoenzyme has sometimes been called glucokinase.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
