Abstract
- Abstract: Kinetics of phosphoryl transfers from PCr to γ-ATP and from β-ATP to β-ADP were measured by magnetization transfer in an in vivo<superscript>31</superscript>P NMR experiment in working rat skeletal hind leg muscles. Two groups were examined. One group was submitted to a 6-week training program of treadmill running. The other group was composed of sedentary animals. Metabolic oxidative capacity and mechanical performance were improved greatly by training as shown previously. Phosphoryl transfer of PCr→γ-ATP or β-ATP→β-ADP total fluxes were identical in resting trained and untrained muscles. Under stimulation, the flux of creatine kinase transfer was significantly inhibited by 23% compared with resting level in untrained muscles; by contrast, it was not inhibited and maintained at the high resting level in trained muscles. Thus physiological changes probably linked to a decrease of the production of anions, which could inhibit creatine kinase, were able to maintain creatine kinase flux. The flux of β-ATP to β-ADP transfer were enhanced largely in working muscles from 1.4±0.8 and 2±0.8 at rest to 4±1.6 and 6.6±2.7 mM s<superscript>−1</superscript> for untrained and trained muscles respectively; the effect was more pronounced in trained than in untrained muscles. These results showed an acceleration of phosphoryl turnover in working muscles after training, which could contribute to improve oxidative and mechanical performances. Such kinetic measurements of phosphoryl conversion may provide information on ATP turnover in pathophysiologic situations where ADP accumulates because of impaired ATP synthesis (mitochondrial myopathies, lower perfusion level).
