Submaximal exercise training improves mitochondrial efficiency in the gluteus medius but not in the triceps brachii of young equine athletes

Abstract: We tested the hypothesis that, similar to humans and rodents, exercise training would enhance mitochondrial (Mt) biogenesis and function in skeletal muscle of young horses. Twenty-four Quarter Horse yearlings were randomly assigned to either submaximal exercise training or no forced exercise (untrained). Biopsies were collected from the gluteus medius and triceps brachii before and after 9 wk of treatment. Citrate synthase activity was lower (P < 0.0001) and cytochrome c oxidase activity per Mt unit was higher… Show more

“…The GM is composed of a greater percentage of fast-twitch, non-oxidative fibers when compared to the TB 24 . Additionally, the TB has been found to have higher indices of mitochondrial density 12 . In the present study, resting MDA concentration, GPx activity, SOD activity, and SOD2 expression were higher in the TB than the GM.…”

“…However, following 12 weeks of exercise and growth (current study), muscle SOD activity increased in both muscle groups of CTM horses, but not INORG horses. Improvements to the energy-producing cells of skeletal muscle, mitochondria, following submaximal exercise training has been demonstrated in 2-year-old Quarter Horses by an increase in intrinsic mitochondrial capacities of complex I and complex II of the electron transport system following 9 weeks of submaximal exercise training 12 . While the efficiency of mitochondrial coupling also increased 12 , which would decrease the loss of electrons during ATP production, mitochondria remain a source of potentially damaging by-products of energy production, reactive oxygen species, during exercise 13 .…”

“…The conditioning-induced increase in leak respiration was unexpected because in all other species studied, athletic conditioning generally reduces leak respiration and, in some instances, also decreases temperature sensitivity of skeletal muscle leak respiration. Nine weeks of submaximal training in Quarterhorses decreased leak respiration in permeabilized skeletal muscle fibers, but this effect was only statistically significant in the gluteus muscle and not in the triceps brachii (18). Similarly, there was no effect of fitness on leak respiration in permeabilized triceps brachii skeletal muscle fibers from Thoroughbred horses (19).…”

“…Athletic conditioning typically increases mitochondrial capacity for respiration regardless of the species of athlete (9,12,18,19,24,25). However, the effect of conditioning on mitochondrial phosphorylating capacity during hyperthermia is less studied.…”

“…However, high levels of antioxidants have been shown to limit cellular adaptations to training (Peterneli and Coombes, 2011). Interestingly, previous research noted elevated mitochondrial density in the gluteus medius muscle of 2-year-old horses receiving organic Se at 0.3 mg Se/kg DM (as Sel-Plex, Alltech Inc., Nicholasville, KY) compared to horses receiving 0.1 mg Se/kg DM, regardless of whether or not they were enrolled in a submaximal exercise program (White et al, 2017). The current NRC ( 2007) requirement for Se is 0.1mg/kg DM, but little research has been conducted to determine the optimal level of Se for growing or exercising horses.…”
