Transmission electron microscopy assessment of intramyocellular lipid and mitochondrial proximity.
<p>Representative electron micrographs of a skeletal muscle cell illustrating subsarcolemmal (<b>A</b>) and intermyofibrillar (<b>B</b>) intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) juxtaposed with mitochondria prior to (<b>A</b>,<b>B</b>) and following 12-wk endurance training (<b>C</b>,<b>D</b>). The micrographs (X6,500 magnification, scale bar: 1 µm) were obtained from a biopsy of the <i>vastus lateralis</i> muscle from an obese participant. Graph represents the proportion of IMCL juxtaposed with mitochondrial (i.e., the proportion of IMCL in contact with mitochondria) in subsarcolemmal and intermyofibrillar regions of skeletal muscle of lean (<i>n</i> = 9) and obese (<i>n</i> = 9) men prior to and following 12-wk endurance training. *<i>P</i>≤0.02 pre- <i>vs</i>. post-training (main effect).</p
Transmission electron microscopy assessment of intramyocellular lipid and mitochondrial content.
<p>Micrographs of a skeletal muscle cell illustrating subsarcolemmal (<b>A</b>) and intermyofibrillar (<b>B</b>) intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) and mitochondria prior to (<b>A</b>,<b>B</b>) and following 12-wk endurance training (<b>C</b>,<b>D</b>). Subsarcolemmal (SS) IMCL and mitochondria are located between the sarcolemma and the most superficial myofibrils. The intermyofibrillar (IMF) IMCL and mitochondria are located between parallel bundles of myofibrils. The micrographs (X6,500 magnification, scale bar: 1 µm) were obtained from a biopsy of the <i>vastus lateralis</i> muscle from an obese participant. L, intramyocellular lipid droplet; M, mitochondria, Z, Z-line. IMCL size (<b>E</b>), number (<b>F</b>), and density (<b>G</b>) in SS and IMF regions of skeletal muscle of lean (<i>n</i> = 9) and obese (<i>n</i> = 9) men prior to and following 12-wk endurance training. *<i>P</i>≤0.05 pre- <i>vs.</i> post-training (main effect). Mitochondria size (<b>H</b>), number (<b>I</b>), and density (<b>J</b>) in SS and IMF regions of skeletal muscle of lean (<i>n</i> = 9) and obese (<i>n</i> = 9) men prior to and following 12-wk endurance training. *<i>P</i>≤0.01 pre- <i>vs.</i> post-training (main effect).</p
Markers of mitochondrial function.
<p>(<b>A</b>) Mitochondrial protein content assessed by Western blot and (<b>B</b>) mitochondrial maximal enzyme activity in skeletal muscle of lean (<i>n</i> = 9) and obese (<i>n</i> = 9) men prior to and following 12-wk endurance training. (<b>A</b>) PGC-1α, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α; CS, citrate synthase; COX, cytochrome <i>c</i> oxidase - subunits II and IV. Results were normalized to β-actin protein content. *<i>P</i>≤0.04 pre- <i>vs.</i> post-training (main effect). (<b>B</b>) CS, citrate synthase; COX, cytochrome <i>c</i> oxidase; SCHAD, short-chain β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. *<i>P</i>≤0.03 pre- <i>vs.</i> post-training (main effect). (<b>C</b>) Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number determined by real-time quantitative PCR using a TaqMan probe against NADH dehydrogenase 4 (ND4) and β-globin. mtDNA copy number was calculated as the ratio of ND4 to β-globin in skeletal muscle of lean (<i>n</i> = 3) and obese (<i>n</i> = 5) men prior to and following 12-wk endurance training. *<i>P</i> = 0.10 pre- <i>vs.</i> post-training (main effect).</p
