Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) is pivotal in regulating mitochondrial O(2) consumption (Vo(2)) and glucose uptake in mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of age- and genotype-related exercise limitation in male endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-knockout (KO, n = 16) and wild-type (WT, n = 19) mice. Treadmill testing was performed at 12, 14, 16, 18, and 21 mo of age. Vo(2), CO(2) production, respiratory exchange ratio, and maximal running distance were determined durin ...[more]
