Abstract
NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of this study? What is the absolute level of pre-exercise glycogen concentration required to augment the exercise-induced signalling response regulating mitochondrial biogenesis? What is the main finding and its importance? Commencing high-intensity endurance exercise with reduced pre-exercise muscle glycogen concentrations confers no additional benefit to the early signalling responses that regulate mitochondrial biogenesis. ABSTRACT: We examined the effects of graded muscle glycogen on the subcellular location of AMPK and PGC-1α protein content and mRNA expression of genes associated with the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and substrate utilisation in human skeletal muscle. In a repeated measures design, eight trained male cyclists completed acute high-intensity interval (HIT) cycling (8 × 5 min at 80% peak power output) with graded concentrations of pre-exercise muscle glycogen. Following initial glycogen depleting exercise, subjects ingested 2 g kg-1 (L-CHO), 6 g kg-1 (M-CHO) or 14 g kg-1 (H-CHO) of carbohydrate during a 36 h period, such that exercise was commenced with graded (P < 0.05) muscle glycogen concentrations (H-CHO; 531 ± 83, M-CHO; 332 ± 88, L-CHO; 208 ± 79 mmol·kg-1 dw). Exercise depleted muscle glycogen to < 300 mmol·kg-1 dw in all trials (H-CHO; 270 ± 88, M-CHO; 173 ± 74, L-CHO; 100 ± 42 mmol·kg-1 dw) and induced comparable increases in nuclear AMPK protein content (∼2 fold) and PGC-1α (∼5 fold), p53 (∼1.5 fold) and CPT-1 (∼2 fold) mRNA between trials (all P < 0.05). The magnitude of increase in PGC-1α mRNA was also positively correlated with post-exercise glycogen concentration (P < 0.05). In contrast, exercise nor carbohydrate availability affected the subcellular location of PGC-1α protein or PPAR, SCO2, SIRT1, DRP1, MFN2 or CD36 mRNA. Using a sleep-low, train-low model with a high-intensity endurance exercise stimulus, we conclude that pre-exercise muscle glycogen does not modulate skeletal muscle cell signalling.
