The aerobic maternal exercise increases PDK4 gene expression in slow and fast twitch muscles of rat male offspring.

Authors

Abstract:

Recent studies indicate that environment can modify skeletal muscle gene expression and transcriptional factors in offspring genes. Therefore, exercising can lead to changes in the gene expression of the future generations. One of the important metabolic factors is PDK4, which is known as the main factor in Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex (PDC). This study examined the effects of maternal exercise on PDK4 expression in slow and fast twitch (soleus and EDL) muscles of male offspring. Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided to three training groups: before pregnancy (TBP), during pregnancy (TDP) and before and during pregnancy (TBDP) and pregnancy without training (control) group. Training groups were running on a treadmill for four, three and seven weeks, respectively. Two months after the birth of the offspring, 6 male rats were chosen randomly from the offspring of each group. The samples were anesthetized using Ketamine (90 mg/kg) and Xylazine (10 mg/kg) and their soleus and EDL muscles were removed immediately for examine. Gene expression of offspring muscles were analyzed using real-time RT-PCR. Fisher test were used to analyze the difference between the training and the control group. PDK4 expression of offspring were significantly increased in all groups except for EDL muscle of the TBP group. According to the results, it seems likely maternal exercise training can affect the metabolic regulation in the offspring by increasing the expression of some metabolic genes.

The Effect of Intensive Endurance Activity on Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C Gene Expression of Slow and Fast Twitch Muscles in Male Wistar Rats: An Experimental Study

Background and Objectives: Myocyte enhancer factor 2c activates the genes of the slow-twitch muscle, the muscle which plays role in endurance activity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a program of intensive endurance activity on MEF2c gene expression in fast and slow twitch skeletal muscles in wistar rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 14 mal...

Effect of progressive resistance exercise on β1 integrin and vinculin protein levels in slow-and fast-twitch skeletal muscles of male rats

Introduction: Skeletal muscle is a flexible and ever changing tissue and the role of costameric proteins in its response to different stimuli is not well defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of progressive resistance exercise on β1 integrin and vinculin proteins in fast and slow twitch skeletal muscles of male rats. Methods: Twelve male Wistar rats (weight: 298±5.2 gr...

the expression of mstn and myod in response to resistance exercise in fast and slow twitch skeletal muscles of trained and untrained male wistar rats

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an acute bout of exhaustive resistance exercise on the expression of myogenesis modulators (myostatin (mstn) and myod) in male trained and untrained wistar rats’ fast and slow muscles. thirty rats were assigned to three groups: control (n=6), untrained (n=12) and trained (n=12). resistance exercise (weight lifting up a vertical ladder) was...

the effect of resistance exercise on myod expression in slow and fast muscles of wistar rats

abstractbackground and objective: satellite cells are muscle stem cells that enter cycle cells due to myotrauma. among activation and proliferation indices of these cells is increase of myod gene expression. but these are contradiction in response of this gene to resistance exercise in fast and slow fibers. thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single bout of resistance ex...

Chronic hypobaric hypoxia increases isolated rat fast-twitch and slow-twitch limb muscle force and fatigue.

Chronic hypoxia alters respiratory muscle force and fatigue, effects that could be attributed to hypoxia and/or increased activation due to hyperventilation. We hypothesized that chronic hypoxia is associated with phenotypic change in non-respiratory muscles and therefore we tested the hypothesis that chronic hypobaric hypoxia increases limb muscle force and fatigue. Adult male Wistar rats were...
