The effects of endotoxaemia on protein metabolism in skeletal muscle and liver of fed and fasted rats.

ABSTRACT: The response of muscle and liver protein metabolism to either a single or three successive daily injections of an endotoxin (Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide, serotype 0127 B8; 1 mg/ml, 0.3 mg/100 g body wt.) was studied in vivo in the fed rat, and at 24 and 30 h after endotoxin treatment during fasting. In the fed rats there was a catabolic response in muscle, owing to a 60-100% increase in muscle protein degradation rate, and a 52% fall in the synthesis rate. Although there was a 20% decrease in food intake, the decrease in protein synthesis was to some extent independent of this, since rats treated with endotoxin and fasted also showed a lower rate of muscle protein synthesis, which was in excess of the decrease caused by fasting alone. The mechanism of this decreased protein synthesis involved decreased translational activity, since in both fed and fasted rats there was a decreased rate of synthesis per unit of RNA. This occurred despite the fact that insulin concentrations were either maintained or increased, in the fasted rats, to those observed in fed rats. In the liver total protein mass was increased in the fed rats by 16% at 24 h, and the fractional synthesis rate at that time was increased by 35%. In rats fasted after endotoxin treatment the liver protein mass was not decreased as it was in the control fasted rats, and the fractional synthesis rate was increased by 22%. In both cases the increased synthesis rate reflected an elevated hepatic RNA concentration. The extent of this increase in hepatic protein synthesis was sufficient at one point to compensate for the fall in estimated muscle protein synthesis, so that the sum total in the two tissues was maintained.

Project description:Sprint interval training (SIT) is a time-efficient alternative to endurance exercise, conferring beneficial skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations. Current literature has investigated the nutritional regulation of acute and chronic exercise-induced metabolic adaptations in muscle following endurance exercise, principally comparing the impact of training in fasted and carbohydrate-fed (CHO) conditions. Alternative strategies such as exercising in low CHO, protein-fed conditions remain poorly characterized, specifically pertaining to adaptations associated with SIT. Thus, this study aimed to compare the metabolic and performance adaptations to acute and short-term SIT in the fasted state with preexercise hydrolyzed (WPH) or concentrated (WPC) whey protein supplementation. In healthy males, preexercise protein ingestion did not alter exercise-induced increases in PGC-1α, PDK4, SIRT1, and PPAR-δ mRNA expression following acute SIT. However, supplementation of WPH beneficially altered acute exercise-induced CD36 mRNA expression. Preexercise protein ingestion attenuated acute exercise-induced increases in muscle pan-acetylation and PARP1 protein content compared with fasted SIT. Acute serum metabolomic differences confirmed greater preexercise amino acid delivery in protein-fed compared with fasted conditions. Following 3 wk of SIT, training-induced increases in mitochondrial enzymatic activity and exercise performance were similar across nutritional groups. Interestingly, resting muscle acetylation status was downregulated in WPH conditions following training. Such findings suggest preexercise WPC and WPH ingestion positively influences metabolic adaptations to SIT compared with fasted training, resulting in either similar or enhanced performance adaptations. Future studies investigating nutritional modulation of metabolic adaptations to exercise are warranted to build upon these novel findings.NEW & NOTEWORTHY These are the first data to show the influence of preexercise protein on serum and skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations to acute and short-term sprint interval training (SIT). Preexercise whey protein concentrate (WPC) or hydrolysate (WPH) feeding acutely affected the serum metabolome, which differentially influenced acute and chronic changes in mitochondrial gene expression, intracellular signaling (acetylation and PARylation) resulting in either similar or enhanced performance outcomes when compared with fasted training.
