Rest And Exercise

This study was undertaken to determine the effects of propylthiouracil-induced thyroid deficiency on a) the capacity of muscle homogenates to oxidize [2-14C]pyruvate and [U-14C]palmitate and b) glycogen depletion during exercise in liver and in fast-oxidative-glycogenolytic (FOG), fast-glycogenolytic (FG), and slow-oxidative (SO) muscle. Relative to the rates for normal rats, oxidation with pyruvate was reduced by 53, 68, and 58%, and palmitate by 40, 50, and 48% in FOG, FG, and SO muscle, respectively (P less than 0.05). Normal rats ran longer than thyroid-deficient rats at 26.7 m/min (87 ± 8 vs. 37 ± 5 min). After 40 min of running (22 m/min), the amount of glycogen consumed in normal FOG, FG, and SO muscle and in liver amounted to only 23, 12, 66, and 52%, respectively, of that for their thyroid-deficient counterparts. Also, normal rats maintained higher plasma free fatty acid levels than thyroid-deficient rats during both rest and exercise (P less than 0.05). These findings suggest that thyroid deficiency causes a reduced potential for FFA utilization in skeletal muscle that enhances its consumption of glycogen, thereby limiting endurance capacity.

Plasma Ffa

Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) levels and the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) were studied in cold-acclimated and cold-exposed chickens and compared to controls. Chickens cold-acclimated at 4–7 or 8–11 °C for 4 weeks had significantly elevated plasma FFA when compared to the controls at 19–21 °C. Although PGE1 had no effect on the basal level of FFA of controls, a significantly lower plasma FFA was seen after injection of either 10 or 30 μg PGE1/kg in cold-acclimated chickens. Chickens cold-exposed to 2–3 °C for 4 h demonstrated significant elevations of plasma FFA when compared to controls. Only 30 μg PGE1/kg significantly depressed the plasma FFA in the cold-exposed birds. No inhibition of basal FFA release was seen in control animals. From these experiments, it is concluded that chickens mobilize FFA extensively under cold-exposure and that this stimulated lipolysis is inhibited by PGE1.
