Project description:Study the effects of 3 weeks training exercise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and healthy individuals. Skeletal muscle biopsies of 5 COPD patients (aged 63±2 year) and 3 age-matched healthy individuals were studied before and after 3 weeks of a supervised endurance training program. Samples were collected from open muscle biopsies of the vastus lateralis of 5 COPD patients and 3 age-matched healthy individuals before and after 3 weeks of a supervised endurance training program. Patients and controls underwent an endurance exercise program on a cycloergometer 5 days a week for three consecutive weeks. One 1 h session/day was established in all subjects, with effective exercise periods of at least 30 min in each case.
Project description:Study the training exercise effects in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and aged-matched healthy individuals. Skeletal muscle biopsies from 9 stable COPD patients with normal fat free mass index (FFMI, 21Kg/m2) (COPDN), 6 COPD patients with low FFMI (16Kg/m2) (COPL), and 12 healthy sedentary subjects (FFMI 21Kg/m2) before and after 8 weeks of a supervised endurance exercise program were analyzed. Samples were collected from open biopsies from the musculus vastus lateralis of COPD patients and healthy individuals before and after 8 weeks of exercise training. Constant-work rate exercise at 70% of pre-training Watts peak (Wpeak) (CardiO2 cycle Medical Graphics Corporation, USA) was carried out before and after 8 weeks of supervised interval training with a cycloergometer until pre-training endurance time exhaustion. Measurements before and after training were obtained at isowork-rate and iso-time.

Project description:We assessed vastus lateralis muscle gene expression levels of 12 women with the metabolic syndrome before and after a 6 month exercise training program RNA was isolated from a vastus lateralis muscle biopsy of 6 women with the metabolic syndrome before and after a 6 month guided endurance exercise training program

Project description:Proteomic characterization of skeletal muscle biopsies collected from the vastus lateralis of 44 male and female human subjects. Research subjects were divided in three different groups based on their individual exercise backgrounds and physical performance testing: 1) endurance trained (males; ME, n = 9 and females; FE, n = 9, with at least 15 years’ of regular training experience), 2) strength-trained males (MS, n = 9, with at least 15 years’ of regular training experience), and 3) age-matched healthy untrained controls (males, MC, n = 9 and females FC, n = 8, with a self-reported history of <2 exercise bouts per week over the past 15 years).
Project description:Vastus Lateralis muscle biopsies were obtained before and after the training protocol from 6 healthy elderly male people. We chose custom TaqMan low density array cards (Life Technologies) preloaded with 48 selected genes related to the following pathways: myogenesis, apoptosis, protein anabolism/catabolism and antioxidant enzymes to quantitate their gene expression in human skeletal muscle.
