To test the hypothesis that beta-adrenergic stimulation is required for the normal increase in oxidative capacity of respiratory and locomotor skeletal muscle in response to exercise training, we examined the effects of beta-blockade on muscle oxidative capacity in trained and sedentary rats. Thirty-four female adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups: 1) trained+propranolol (TP); 2) trained + sham injection (TS); 3) sedentary + propranolol (SP); and 4) sedentary + sham injection (SS). Training increased (p < 0.05) citrate synthase (CS) activity in the plantaris (+29%) and costal diaphragm (+12%) of TS animals compared to SS animals. In contrast, training did not (p > 0.05) increase costal diaphragm CS activity in TP animals compared to the SS group. Further, although training increased (p < 0.05) plantaris CS activity in the TP group (+18%) compared to the SP group, the training-induced increase in muscle CS activity was 11% lower (p < 0.05) than observed in TS animals. Collectively, these results suggest that beta-adrenergic mechanisms may play a role in the normal training-induced increase in oxidative capacity in both respiratory and locomotor skeletal muscles.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
