Item A mutation in desmin makes skeletal muscle less vulnerable to acute muscle damage after eccentric loading in rats(Wiley Open Access, 2021-09-01) Langer, Henning T.; Mossakowski, Agata A.; Avey, Alec M.; Wohlgemuth, Ross P.; Smith, Lucas R.; Zbinden-Foncea, Herman; Baar, KeithDesminopathy is the most common intermediate filament disease in humans. The most frequent mutation causing desminopathy in patients is a R350P DES missense mutation. We have developed a rat model with an analogous mutation in R349P Des. To investigate the role of R349P Des in mechanical loading, we stimulated the sciatic nerve of wild-type littermates (WT) (n = 6) and animals carrying the mutation (MUT) (n = 6) causing a lengthening contraction of the dorsi flexor muscles. MUT animals showed signs of ongoing regeneration at baseline as indicated by a higher number of central nuclei (genotype: P < .0001). While stimulation did not impact central nuclei, we found an increased number of IgG positive fibers (membrane damage indicator) after eccentric contractions with both genotypes (stimulation: P < .01). Interestingly, WT animals displayed a more pronounced increase in IgG positive fibers with stimulation compared to MUT (interaction: P < .05). In addition to altered histology, molecular signaling on the protein level differed between WT and MUT. The membrane repair protein dysferlin decreased with eccentric loading in WT but increased in MUT (interaction: P < .05). The autophagic substrate p62 was increased in both genotypes with loading (stimulation: P < .05) but tended to be more elevated in WT (interaction: P = .05). Caspase 3 levels, a central regulator of apoptotic cell death, was increased with stimulation in both genotypes (stimulation: P < .01) but more so in WT animals (interaction: P < .0001). Overall, our data indicate that R349P Des rats have a lower susceptibility to structural muscle damage of the cytoskeleton and sarcolemma with acute eccentric loading.Item Time reallocation of physical behaviours induced by endurance exercise in physically active individuals(Taylor & Francis, 2023-04-16) Hayes-Ortiz, Thomas; Suárez-Reyes, Mónica; Galgani, José E.; Zbinden-Fonseca, Hermann; Fernández-Verdejo, RodrigoIncreasing moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) through exercise requires reallocating time from other physical behaviour(s). We aimed to determine the reallocations induced by endurance exercise in physically active individuals. We also searched for behavioural compensatory responses, and explored the effect of exercise on daily energy expenditure. Fourteen participants (8 women; median age 37.8 [IQR 29.9–48.5] yr) exercised on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings (cycling MVPA, 65 min/session; “exercise days”), and avoided exercising on Tuesday and Thursday (“rest days”). Time spent on sleep, sedentary behaviour, light-intensity physical activity, and MVPA was determined each day by accelerometers and logs. An energy expenditure index was computed considering minutes spent on each behaviour and fixed metabolic equivalents. We found that all participants had lower sleep and higher total (including exercise) MVPA on exercise days compared to rest days. Thus, on exercise vs. rest days, sleep was lower (490 [453–553] vs. 553 [497–599] min/day, respectively, P < 0.001), and total MVPA was higher (86 [80–101] vs. 23 [15–45] min/day, respectively; P < 0.001). No differences in other physical behaviours were detected. Notably, exercise not only induced reallocations (i.e. less time in other behaviours) but also behavioural compensatory responses in some participants (e.g. increased sedentary behaviour). This rearrangement of physical behaviours manifested in exercise-induced increases in energy expenditure from 96 to 232 MET × min/day. In conclusion, active individuals reallocated time from sleep to accommodate morning exercise. Yet exercise induced variable rearrangements of behaviours, with some individuals manifesting compensatory responses. Understanding individual rearrangements may help improve exercise interventions.
