Oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle in heart failure patients versus sedentary or active control subjects

Abstract: In these patients, the disease-specific muscle metabolic impairments derive mostly from extramitochondrial mechanisms that disrupt the normal symmorphosis relations. The possible roles of ACE inhibitors and level of activity are discussed.

“…Similarly, losartan, an Ang II type 1 receptor antagonist, was shown to partially reverse the MI-induced downregulation of PGC-1␣ expression in male rats 12 but not in female rats. 11 These partial cardiac and total "peripheral" beneficial effects of ACEi therapy on mitochondrial function and biogenesis could thus explain the different results observed in human failing skeletal 14,15 and cardiac muscle (present results). Understanding the events mediating the decreased oxidative capacity in failing heart seems to be of major significance.…”

“…13 In contrast to experimental models, 4 in patients with severe CHF under angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACEi) therapy, skeletal muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity and oxidative phosphorylation protein expression are preserved, despite lower exercise capacity. 14 In line with this maintained function, no evidence for deactivation of PGC-1␣ regulatory cascade was found, although, in healthy subjects, exercise performance is associated with improvement in mitochondrial function, PGC-1␣ activation, and increased expression of mitochondrial proteins. 15 This suggests a possible protective effect of ACEi on muscle energy metabolism.…”

“…The rationale is based on 2 observations: circulating hormones such as endothelin-1 (ET-1) are hyperactivated in heart failure patients 5 and, as shown in previous work by this group, ACEi treatment was found to correct mitochondrial defects in skeletal muscle of heart failure patients. 6 The specific hypotheses tested were (1) myocardial mitochondrial oxidative capacity is lower in ACEi-treated heart failure patients, (2) ACEi therapy protects myocardial mitochondrial function by activating PGC-1␣ expression, and (3) hormonal signals induce the PGC-1␣ transcription cascade. Three sets of experiments were performed.…”
