Abstract
We recently reported that resistance trained (T, n=10) and untrained (UT, n=11) young adults experience vastus lateralis (VL) muscle atrophy following two weeks of disuse, and 8 weeks of recovery resistance training (RT) promotes VL hypertrophy in both participant cohorts. Skeletal muscle angiogenesis is appreciated for supporting skeletal muscle hypertrophy, but its activity following disuse-induced atrophy in humans is largely unexplored in the context of RT. Thus, we sought to determine whether these outcomes were affected. VL biopsies were obtained at baseline (PRE), immediately after disuse (MID), and after RT (POST). Western blotting was used to assay angiogenesis markers and immunohistochemistry was performed in 16/21 participants to determine type I and II muscle fiber capillary number. Significant main effects of time (p<0.05) were observed for protein levels of VEGF (MID0.100). Although disuse and recovery RT affect skeletal muscle angiogenesis-related protein targets, prior training history does not differentially affect these outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Physiology publishes the highest quality original research and reviews that examine novel adaptive and integrative physiological mechanisms in humans and animals that advance the field. The journal encourages the submission of manuscripts that examine the acute and adaptive responses of various organs, tissues, cells and/or molecular pathways to environmental, physiological and/or pathophysiological stressors. As an applied physiology journal, topics of interest are not limited to a particular organ system. The journal, therefore, considers a wide array of integrative and translational research topics examining the mechanisms involved in disease processes and mitigation strategies, as well as the promotion of health and well-being throughout the lifespan. Priority is given to manuscripts that provide mechanistic insight deemed to exert an impact on the field.
