Objective To observe the effects of different load resistance training on skeletal muscle dystrophy in aging rats by observing the expression of protein and protein of IGF-I and TNF-α in aging rats after 8 weeks of different load resistance training. The resistance training delays the theoretical basis for anti-skeletal muscle aging. Methods 40 aging SD rats (18 months old) were randomly divided into a quiet control group, a non-weight-bearing exercise group, 30% of the largest negative recombination, 50% of the largest negative recombination, and 70% of the largest negative recombination. The sports group carried the treadmill movement with the tail load, the slope was 35°, the running speed was 15m/min, the rest was 30s every 15s, the rest was 3min after four cycles, and the three groups were one cycle. The cycle was intermittent for 10 minutes, and the exercise frequency was the next day for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, the rat gastrocnemius muscle was taken. The protein content of the gastrocnemius muscle was determined by Coomassie brilliant blue method. The contents of IGF-I and TNF-α in the gastrocnemius muscle were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results After 1.8 weeks of different load resistance exercise, compared with the quiet control group, the skeletal muscle protein content of each exercise group increased, among which 50% of the largest negative recombination and 70% of the largest negative recombination was the most significant (P<0.01). Compared with 70% of the largest negative recombination, the 50% maximum negative recombination content was relatively high (P<0.05); After 8 weeks of different load resistance exercise, compared with the quiet control group, the content of IGF-I in the gastrocnemius of each exercise group was higher than that of the quiet control group, and there was a very significant difference (P<0.01), and 50%. The highest negative recombination and 70% of the largest negative recombination content is the highest; After 8 weeks of different load resistance exercise, compared with the quiet control group, the TNF-α content in the gastrocnemius muscle of the rats in each resistance exercise group increased slightly, and the increase of only 50% of the largest negative recombination was statistically significant (P<0.05), although there were differences between the exercise groups, there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions 50% of the maximum weight-bearing resistance training can effectively increase the skeletal muscle muscle protein content of aging SD rats, and it is related to up-regulation of IGF-I factor and down-regulation of TNF-α factor expression by resistance training.

Skeletal Muscle Adaptations

The application of blood flow restriction (BFR) during resistance exercise is increasingly recognized for its ability to improve rehabilitation and for its effectiveness in increasing muscle hypertrophy and strength among healthy populations. However, direct comparison of the skeletal muscle adaptations to low-load resistance exercise (LL-RE) and low-load BFR resistance exercise (LL-BFR) performed to task failure is lacking. Using a within-subject design, we examined whole muscle group and skeletal muscle adaptations to 6 wk of LL-RE and LL-BFR training to repetition failure. Muscle strength and size outcomes were similar for both types of training, despite ~33% lower total exercise volume (load × repetition) with LL-BFR than LL-RE (28,544 ± 1,771 vs. 18,949 ± 1,541 kg, P = 0.004). After training, only LL-BFR improved the average power output throughout the midportion of a voluntary muscle endurance task. Specifically, LL-BFR training sustained an 18% greater power output from baseline and resulted in a greater change from baseline than LL-RE (19 ± 3 vs. 3 ± 4 W, P = 0.008). This improvement occurred despite histological analysis revealing similar increases in capillary content of type I muscle fibers following LL-RE and LL-BFR training, which was primarily driven by increased capillary contacts (4.53 ± 0.23 before training vs. 5.33 ± 0.27 and 5.17 ± 0.25 after LL-RE and LL-BFR, respectively, both P < 0.05). Moreover, maximally supported mitochondrial respiratory capacity increased only in the LL-RE leg by 30% from baseline ( P = 0.006). Overall, low-load resistance training increased indexes of muscle oxidative capacity and strength, which were not further augmented with the application of BFR. However, performance on a muscle endurance test was improved following BFR training.

Objective To investigate the effects of resistance and aerobic training on the content of fibronectin in skeletal muscle extracellular matrix and satellite cell in 9-month-old BALB/c mice, and then explore the effect of fibronectin content change on satellite cell and its intrinsic mechanism, which will provide a new research perspective and theoretical evidence for delaying sarcopenia. Methods 27 one-month-old BALB / c mice of SPF grade were purchased and fed for natural aging. At 9 months of age, the mice were divided into three groups randomly. Group R was resistance exercise training group (n=9), group A was aerobic exercise training group (n=9), and group C was control group (n=9). The load ladder model for resistance training in group R, the pyramid training program for 9 week training, 5 sets of load ladder training every time. 2 min for rest between sets, 1 min for rest between repetitions, 3 times a week. The treadmill training for aerobic training in group A for 9 weeks, the speed of 0.8km/h, 40min every time, 3 times a week. There is no training in group C. During the training, mouse grip strength was tested by the BIOSEB grip instrument once a week. After exercise intervention, the blood of mice was taken from the eyeball, and the gastrocnemius muscles were removed and placed in -80℃ temperature refrigerator to be freezed for tested . Immunofluorescence was used to detect FN and Pax7; The Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA of FN, Sdc4, Fzd7, Wnt7a, c-Jun, Pax7; Western Blotting was used to detect the FN, sdc4, Fzd7, Wnt7a, c-Jun, p-c-Jun, Pax7 protein content. Results (1) Body weight, grip strength and skeletal muscle mass of mice: The body weight of group C and group R were significantly decreased after 9 weeks to compared with group A (P <0.05; P <0.05). The grip strength of group R and A was significantly increased in the ninth week to compared with group C, (P <0.01; P <0.05); The grip strength of group R and A in the ninth week were significantly higher than that in the first week (P <0.01; P <0.01)；  (2) FN in skeletal muscle extracellular matrix and it’s receptor Sdc4: The integrated optical density (IOD) of FN in group R was higher than that in group C and group A, but there was no significant difference among the three groups. The FN mRNA in group R was significantly increased to compared with group A (P<0.05). The FN protein content in group R was significantly increased to compared with group C and group A (P <0.01; P <0.01). There was no significant difference in the expression of Sdc4 mRNA in gastrocnemius muscle among the three groups. Compared with group C, the Sdc4 protein content was significantly down-regulated in both group R and group A (P<0.01; P<0.05). (3) Wnt7a/PCP signaling pathway: The Wnt7a mRNA and Wnt7a protein content in the gastrocnemius muscle of group R were significantly increased to compared with group C (P<0.05; P<0.01)). Compared with group A, Wnt7a protein content in group R was also significantly increased (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Fzd7 mRNA in gastrocnemius muscle among the three groups; but the Fzd7 protein content in group R was significantly increased to compared with group A (P<0.05). The c-Jun mRNA in group R was significantly increased to compared with group C and A (P<0.05; P< 0.05). The content of c-Jun protein in group R was significantly increased to compared with group C and group A (P<0.01; P<0.01). The content of p-c-Jun protein in group R was significantly increased to compared with group C (P<0.05). (4) Pax7 : The number of Pax7 positive cells in group R was higher than that in group C and group A, but there was no significant difference among the three groups. Pax7 mRNA in group R and group A were significantly lower than that in group C (P<0.05; P<0.01), but Pax7 protein content in group R was significantly higher than group C and group A (P <0.05; P <0.05) Conclusions (1) Exercise can improve muscle strength of aging mice. (2) Resistance training can promote FN in skeletal muscle extracellular matrix and improve skeletal muscle extracellular matrix components of aging mice. (3) Resistance exercise training can promote Pax7 expression through the increase of FN and up-regulation of Wnt7a / PCP signaling pathway, thus make it possible for satellite cell proliferation.

Methamphetamine (MA) induced addiction and neuroinflammation has been implicated. Based on the neuroinflammation hypothesis, this study aims to investigate how exercise influences the craving of patients in MA withdrawal, and explore the mechanism of peripheral inflammation. A total of 90 patients in MA withdrawal were recruited. No difference was noted in the number of years of drug use and the frequency of drug use among patients, and the withdrawal time was within 2 months. The subjects were grouped based on the degree of craving induced by the cues: non-craving control group (NCC group), craving control group (CC group), and craving exercise group (CE group). The CE group was subjected to aerobic combined resistance training. Then, the ELISA method was used to detect plasma IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β concentrations; Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measurement of cue-induced cravings under Virtual Reality (VR) exposure (VR-VAS) and the Desires for Drug Questionnaire (DDQ) were used to assess cravings. Consequently, plasma IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, levels, and the VR-VAS and DDQ scores of MA withdrawal patients were significantly reduced after exercise. This study confirmed that 8 weeks of incremental load aerobic combined with resistance training reduces peripheral inflammation and significantly reduces the level of craving for MA.

Abstract Background Investigate how exercise affects the desire for methamphetamine (MA) withdrawal and to explore the mechanisms of peripheral inflammation. Methods Ninety methamphetamine withdrawal patients participated enrolled in the study. The subjects were grouped according to the degree of craving induced by the clues: non craving control group (NCC group), craving control group (CC group) and craving exercise group (CE group). The CE group performed aerobic combined resistance training. The ELISA method was then used to detect plasma IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations, Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) measurement of cue-induced cravings under Virtual Reality(VR) exposure (VR-VAS) and the Desires for Drug Questionnaire (DDQ) were used to assess cravings. Results Plasma IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, levels as well as the VR-VAS and DDQ scores of methamphetamine withdrawal patients were significantly reduced after exercise; The scores of VR-VAS were positively correlated with the plasma concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β. Conclusions This study confirmed that plasma IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β can be used as biomarkers of peripheral inflammation in methamphetamine withdrawal patients to predict the degree of craving. At the same time,eight weeks of incremental load aerobic combined with resistance training reduces peripheral inflammation, significantly reduces the level of craving for MA extraction.

Introdution: Myostatin and follistatin proteins are key proteins in the regulation of muscle atrophy and hypertrophy. Aging and sarcopenia can lead to disruption of cellular mechanisms and the activity of these proteins. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance training on myostatin and folistatin proteins content in Gastrocnemius muscle tissue of elderly rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 12 female Sprague-Dawley rats (20-month-old) with an average weight of 250±30 g were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups: resistance training (n=6) and control (n=6). The resistance-training program was as followed: 3 days a week for 8 weeks, climbing a one-meter vertical ladder with 26 steps and two centimeters of space between each step with a slope of 85 degrees. SPSS software version 23 and independent t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that eight weeks of resistance training led to a significant increase in myostatin protein content in the training group compared to the control group (P≤0.04). In contrast, eight weeks of resistance training led to a significant reduction in folistatin protein content in the training group compared to the control group (P≤0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the present study on the content of myostatin and folistatin proteins, it is possible that the reduction of muscle atrophy in the elderly can be through other pathways of protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy.

Objective By establishing a resistance training model, the researchers observed the effects of resistance exercise on the endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial autophagy-related factors in aging rats and further discussed the physiological mechanism of resistance movement in preventing and delaying senile skeletal muscle decay . Methods 20 adult rats and 20 aged rats were randomly divided into two groups. The adult group was divided into the control Group C and the Sports Group E Group, the elderly group were divided into the control group OC Group and the Sports Group OE Group, 10/group. The eight-week tail-loading ladder training method was used to intervene the suitable resistance training for rats in the exercise group. During this period, rats in the control group did not exercise any training activities and ate normally. The relative expression of PINK1, PARKIN, LC3, PERK/EIF2A and Caspase-12 mRNA in gastrocnemius muscle of rats were detected by quantitative PCR after the experiment. The expression of Pink1/parkin protein in gastrocnemius muscle of rats was detected by Western Blot method. High performance liquid chromatography was performed to detect the ATP production of rat gastrocnemius mitochondria, and the obtained data were collected and analyzed. Results (1) Compared with group C, the expression of PINK1 protein and parkin protein of gastrocnemius muscle in OC Group decreased significantly (p<0.05). PINK1 protein and Parkin protein in OE Group increased significantly (p<0.01) compared with OC Group.(2) Compared with group C, the expression of Pink1mRNA, PARKIN mRNA and Lc3 mRNA in OC group showed a downward trend (p<0.05), and the expression of Pink1 mRNA, PARKIN mRNA and Lc3 mRNA in Group E showed an ascending trend (p<0.01). Compared with OC , the expression of Pink1 mRNA, PARKIN mRNA and Lc3 mRNA in OE group increased and had significant difference (p<0.01).(3) Compared with group C, the expression levels of perk mRNA, eif2a mRNA and Caspase-12 mRNA in the gastrocnemius of rats in Group E were significantly lower (p<0.01), and the expression of perk mRNA in OC Group had a significant upward trend (p<0.05). Compared with OC Group , the expression levels of perk mRNA, eif2a mRNA and Caspase-12 mRNA in OE group showed significant decrease (p<0.01).(4) There was a small increase in mitochondrial ATP production in Group E rats and Group C, but there was no significant difference. The mitochondrial ATP production in Group C was significantly higher than that in OC Group, and had significant difference (p<0.01). After 8 weeks ' training, the mitochondrial function of the OE group was restored to normal, and the ATP production in the OC group increased significantly, there was significant difference (p<0.05). Conclusions The resistance training can improve the function of mitochondria and activate the autophagy, which can improve the abnormality of mitochondria autophagy caused by skeletal muscle decay. Resistance training can reduce the extent of endoplasmic reticulum stress, suggesting that skeletal muscle decay can be slowed down by prolonged exercise.

PURPOSE: Recently, METTL21C has been identified as a potential pleiotropic gene for osteoporosis and sarcopenia. The purpose of this study was to collect gene expression datasets of human skeletal muscle transcriptome and to determine their relationship to exercise through meta-analysis.METHODS: MetaMEx was used to determine whether METTL21C in human skeletal muscle was associated with age, sex, physical activity and obesity. In addition, the difference in gene expression of METTL21C according to exercise duration and exercise type was confirmed. Using MetaMEx, top 300 genes (positive and negative, respectively) with a high correlation with METTL21C were selected, and gene ontology analysis was performed to identify related pathways.RESULTS:The expression of METTL21C gene in human skeletal muscle was significantly lower in the elderly than in young subjects (p<.0001), and significantly lower in female than in male (p<.0001). Also, the obese subjects were significantly lower than lean subjects (p<.0001). However, subjects with high level of physical activity had significantly higher expression of METTL21C than subjects with low levels of physical activity (p<.0001). Acute resistance exercise (p<.0001) and acute high-intensity interval training (p<.05) were found to have significantly higher expression of METTL21C in the skeletal muscle of the exercise group compared to the control group. Aerobic exercise training (p<.0001) and resistance exercise training (p<.0001) showed significantly higher expression of METTL21C in the skeletal muscle of the exercise group compared to the control group.CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity and exercise is important to prevent and treat osteosarcopenia because it can increase the expression of METTL21C in human skeletal muscle and maintain bone and muscle homeostasis.

Increasing evidence suggests that the myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) and IGF-I have important roles in the hypertrophy response observed after mechanical loading. We, therefore, hypothesized that a bout of heavy-resistance training would affect the MRF and IGF-I mRNA levels in human skeletal muscle. Six male subjects completed four sets of 6-12 repetitions on a leg press and knee extensor machine separated by 3 min. Myogenin, MRF4, MyoD, IGF-IEabc (isoforms a, b, and c) and IGF-IEbc (isoform b and c) mRNA levels were determined in the vastus lateralis muscle by RT-PCR before exercise, immediately after, and 1, 2, 6, 24, and 48 h postexercise. Myogenin, MyoD, and MRF4 mRNA levels were elevated ( P < 0.005) by 100-400% 0-24 h postexercise. IGF-IEabc mRNA content decreased ( P < 0.005) by ∼44% after 1 and 6 h of recovery. The IGF-IEbc mRNA level was unaffected. The present study shows that myogenin, MyoD, and MRF4 mRNA levels are transiently elevated in human skeletal muscle after a single bout of heavy-resistance training, supporting the idea that the MRFs may be involved in regulating hypertrophy and/or fiber-type transitions. The results also suggest that IGF-IEa expression may be downregulated at the mRNA level during the initial part of recovery from resistance exercise.
