Reactive oxygen in skeletal muscle. III. Contractility of unfatigued muscle

Abstract: This study tested the hypothesis that reactive oxygen intermediates present in unfatigued skeletal muscle act to enhance contractile function. Fiber bundles from rat diaphragm were incubated with exogenous catalase (an antioxidant enzyme that dehydrates hydrogen peroxide to molecular oxygen and water) to decrease the tissue concentration of reactive oxygen intermediates. Catalase (10(3) U/ml) significantly decreased twitch characteristics (time to peak tension, half-relaxation time, peak force, and twitch-to-t… Show more

“…The observation that skeletal muscle of aged individuals shows increased relaxation times has been correlated with a potential age-related dysfunction of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca-ATPase [14]. Pending a detailed analytical characterization of possible age-related covalent modifications of this protein, it appears reasonable that reactive oxygen species could be responsible for such modifications since they are actively involved in the modulation of skeletal muscle function [15,16]. For example, superoxide dismutase-sensitive reactive oxygen species have been found to account for 85% of a 6-fold increase of cytochrome c reducing equivalents in actively contracting muscle as compared to resting muscle [16], suggesting a specific role for superoxide.…”

“…Η παραγωγή RONS είναι επιθυμητή ή και αρκετές φορές απαραίτητη ώστε να έχουμε την απαιτούμενη μυϊκή λειτουργία και μυϊκές προσαρμογές (Andrade, Reid, Allen, & Westerblad, 1998;Reid, Khawli, & Moody, 1993;Vina, Borras, Gomez-Cabrera, & Orr, 2006). Αντίθετα, έχει ειπωθεί ότι μεγάλη μείωση της παραγωγής RONS λόγω της δράσης αντιοξειδωτικών μορίων, μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε μείωση του παραγόμενου μυϊκού έργου (Reid, et al, 1993;Reid, Kobzik, Bredt, & Stamler, 1998;Reid & Moody, 1994). Παράλληλα, μέτρια αύξηση των RONS στο μυ μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε αύξηση της παραγωγής μυϊκού έργου (Radak, Chung, & Goto, 2005;Reid, et al, 1993).…”

Βέβαια, σε περίπτωση που η παραγωγή ελευθέρων ριζών στο μυ αυξηθεί σε μεγάλο ποσοστό τότε έχουμε τα αντίθετα αποτελέσματα, δηλαδή μείωση της μυϊκής απόδοσης (Radak, et al, 2005;Reid, et al, 1993).…”
