| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the first experiment was to examine a cause of exercise-induced decreases in Ca^<2+>-sequestering capacity by sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) using the superficial portions of the gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis muscles of the rat after treadmill running to exhaustion. Exercise led to 16% and 34% decreases in SR Ca^<2+>-ATPase activity and Ca^<2+> uptake rate, respectively. The carbonyl group content in SR Ca^<2+>-ATPase protein was increased by 127%. In the second experiment, the hypothesis was tested that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) that is one of antioxidants may influence diaphragmic fatigue by modulating SR Ca^<2+> handling capacity. In the absence or presence of NAG, rat diaphragm was electrically stimulated with titanic trains (350 msec) delivered at 0.5 train/sec for various durations. At 60 sec after the onset of stimulation and beyond, force developed by NAC-treated muscle was significantly greater that that of non-treated muscle. In muscles where force was reduced to 50-80% of the initial level, treatment of NAG inhibited reductions in SR function. These results suggest that oxidation of SR Ca^<2+> -ATPase protein may account for decreases in Ca^<2+> -sequestering capacity by the SR and that antioxidant-induced inhibition of a decline in SR function may be responsible, at least partly, for a delay of the rate of fatigue development in the middle phase of muscular fatigue.
