Exercise Training Alters Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Morphometry in Heart Failure Patients

Abstract: Background Previous research has demonstrated that exercise intolerance in heart failure patients is associated with significant alterations in skeletal muscle ultrastructure and oxidative metabolism that may be more consequential than cardiac output.Design To examine the effect of exercise training on skeletal muscle mitochondrial size in chronic heart failure patients.Methods Six heart failure patients participated in 16-weeks of supervised upper and lower extremity exercise training. At the conclusion of tr… Show more

“…2, 33, 43, 61,72,74,97,112,115,136,156,226,267,307,309) reflecting that the key signaling pathways for mitochondrial biogenesis and function, such as PGC-1␣ and calcineurin activation, are preserved in the skeletal muscle of CHF patients (90). Nonetheless, there are reports to the contrary (90,160,274,289,305,319,340).…”

“…Also (cryo)-electron microscopy (EM) analysis of fixed specimens has been widely applied to analyze mitochondrial (ultra)structure (e.g. [41,[166][167][168]). As a consequence, morphometric analyses have been historically important to quantify mitochondrial properties using EM images [169].…”

“…Mitochondrial aberrations, resulting in a reduced mitochondrial capacity, may therefore seriously impair normal energy and substrate metabolism. Mitochondrial aberrations have not only been reported for metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes and obesity but also in diseases like chronic heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (11,24).…”
