Adenosine Triphosphate Production of Muscle Mitochondria after Acute Exercise in Lean and Obese Humans.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Current evidence indicates mitochondrial dysfunction in humans with obesity. Acute exercise appears to enhance mitochondrial function in the muscle of nonobese humans, but its effects on mitochondrial function in muscle of humans with obesity are not known. We sought to determine whether acute aerobic exercise stimulates mitochondrial function in subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria in humans with obesity. METHODS:We assessed maximal adenosine triphosphate production rate (MAPR) and citrate synthase (CS) activity in isolated SS and IMF mitochondria from subjects with body mass index < 27 kg·m (median age, 25 yr; interquartile range, 22-39 yr) and subjects with body mass index > 32 kg·m (median age, 29 yr; interquartile range, 20-39 yr) before and 3 h after a 45-min cycling exercise at an intensity corresponding to 65% HR reserve. The SS and IMF mitochondria were isolated from muscle biopsies using differential centrifugation. Maximal adenosine triphosphate production rate and CS activities were determined using luciferase-based and spectrophotometric enzyme-based assays, respectively. RESULTS:Exercise increased MAPR in IMF mitochondria in both nonobese subjects and subjects with obesity (P < 0.05), but CS-specific activity did not change in either group (P > 0.05). Exercise increased MAPR supported by complex II in SS mitochondria, in both groups (P < 0.05), but MAPR supported by complex I or palmitate did not increase by exercise in the subjects with obesity (P > 0.05). Citrate synthase-specific activity increased in SS mitochondria in response to exercise only in nonobese subjects (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:In nonobese humans, acute aerobic exercise increases MAPR in both SS and IMF mitochondria. In humans with obesity, the exercise increases MAPR in IMF mitochondria, but this response is less evident in SS mitochondria.

Project description:Background & aimsDysbiosis of the gut microbiota in response to an energy-rich Western diet and the potential leak of bacteria and/or bacterial products from the intestine to the liver is perceived as a potential risk factor for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated the microbiome in liver biopsies from healthy lean and obese individuals and compared it with their blood microbiome.MethodsWe examined liver biopsies from 15 healthy lean and 14 obese individuals (BMI of 18.5-25 and 30-40 kg/m2, respectively). Bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was analysed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and 16S metagenomic sequencing targeting the hypervariable V3-V4 region. Metagenomic analysis was performed using the linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) algorithm. Data are medians with IQRs in brackets.ResultsHistology revealed hepatic steatosis in 13 obese individuals and in 2 lean individuals. A robust signal from qPCR revealed significantly higher amounts of bacterial rDNA copies in liver samples from obese individuals compared with those from lean individuals (148 [118-167] vs. 77 [62-122] 16S copies/ng DNA, p <0.001). Liver biopsies from the obese group were characterised by lower alpha diversity at the phylum level (Shannon index 0.60 [0.55-0.76] vs. 0.73 [0.62-0.90], p = 0.025), and metagenomic profiling revealed a significantly higher proportion of Proteobacteria in this group (81.0% [73.0-82.4%] vs. 74.3% [68.4-78.4%], p = 0.014).ConclusionsWe provide evidence for the presence of bacterial rDNA in the healthy human liver. Based on differences in the hepatic microbiome between obese individuals and healthy lean individuals, we suggest that changes in the liver microbiome could constitute an additional risk factor for the development of NAFLD.Lay summaryNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common liver disease globally, and new evidence suggests that obesity is associated with a disturbed gut bacterial composition, which may influence the development of NAFLD. We examined the composition of bacterial DNA in liver biopsies from healthy lean and obese individuals and found a different composition of bacterial DNA in liver biopsies from the obese group. We propose that the increased bacterial DNA load in the livers of obese individuals could constitute an early risk factor for the progression of NAFLD.Clinical trial numberNCT02337660.
