Lipid peroxidation in exercise myopathy.

A Salminen, V Vihko

    Experimental and Molecular Pathology
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Exercise-induced muscle damage (myopathy) involves delayed lipid peroxidation, not immediate changes. Antioxidant enzyme activity increases post-exercise, correlating with muscle damage markers.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise physiology
    • Biochemistry
    • Muscle biology

    Background:

    • Exercise can induce muscle damage (myopathy).
    • Lipid peroxidation is a marker of cellular damage.
    • Antioxidant systems protect against oxidative stress during exercise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate lipid peroxidation and antioxidant responses during exercise-induced myopathy.
    • To determine the relationship between muscle damage markers and lipid peroxidation rates.
    • To assess the impact of prolonged and exhaustive exercise on muscle oxidative stress.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of lipid peroxidation products (TBA reactive substances, lipofuscin) in mouse muscle.
    • Measurement of autoxidation and antioxidant capacities (catalase, glutathione peroxidase, vitamin E).
    • Assessment of enzymatic markers of myopathy (beta-glucuronidase) and in vitro lipid peroxidation rates.

    Main Results:

    • No immediate changes in lipid peroxidation or antioxidant capacities post-exercise.
    • Significant increase in beta-glucuronidase (myopathy marker) 2-6 days after exercise.
    • Marked increase in in vitro lipid peroxidation rate, correlating with beta-glucuronidase activity.
    • Increased catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities, unchanged vitamin E levels.
    • Endurance-trained mice showed minimal myopathy and no increased lipid peroxidation.

    Conclusions:

    • Exercise-induced myopathy is associated with a delayed increase in lipid peroxidation, not immediate.
    • Increased antioxidant enzyme activity occurs post-exercise, but doesn't prevent lipid peroxidation.
    • In vitro lipid peroxidation rate is a sensitive indicator of exercise-induced muscle damage.
