Physical exercise increases mitochondrial function and reduces oxidative damage in skeletal muscle

Abstract: The present study investigated mitochondrial adaptations and oxidative damage after 4 and 8 weeks of running training in skeletal muscle of mice. Twenty-one male mice (CF1, 30-35 g) were distributed into the following groups (n = 7): untrained (UT); trained-4 weeks (T4); trained-8 weeks (T8). Forty-eight hours after the last training session the animals were killed by decapitation and quadriceps (red portion) were removed and stored at -70 degrees C. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), complexes I, II, II-III and I… Show more

“…Resultados similares são apontados por outros autores (21) , no que diz respeito a mudanças enzimáticas no funcionamento mitocondrial após o treinamento. Dados do nosso grupo mostram que a atividade da SDH e dos quatro complexos da CTE são elevados após oito semanas de treinamento em músculo esquelético (22) . Contudo, os resultados do presente estudo demonstram que o fígado responde de maneira similar.…”

“…Mechanisms responsible for beneficial effects of chronic aerobic exercise are traininginduced up-regulation of SOD [11] and CAT [12], reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species [13], and reduced expression of NADPH oxidase [14]. It has been proposed that chronic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) (≈85% VO 2max ) may elicit greater health benefits than traditional chronic aerobic exercise.…”

“…Excessive production of these species and consequent oxidative damages have been associated with decreased performance, fatigue, muscle damage, and "overtraining" 23,24 . Although strenuous exercise promotes increased production of ROS and oxidative damage 6,4 , studies have shown that endurance training increases the antioxidant defense system, as well as muscle oxidative capacity 24,25 . However, these positive effects of training may not be sufficient to reduce oxidative damage caused by intense exercise of long duration.…”
