Abstract
It is well established that contracting skeletal muscles produce free radicals. Given that radicals are known to play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of several diseases, the 1980s-90s dogma was that contraction-induced radical production was detrimental to muscle because of oxidative damage to macromolecules within the fibre. In contrast to this early outlook, it is now clear that both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) play important roles in cell signalling pathways involved in muscle adaptation to exercise and the remodelling that occurs in skeletal muscle during periods of prolonged inactivity. This review will highlight two important redox sensitive signalling pathways that contribute to ROS and RNS-induced skeletal muscle adaptation to endurance exercise. We begin with a historical overview of radical production in skeletal muscles followed by a discussion of the intracellular sites for ROS and RNS production in muscle fibres. We will then provide a synopsis of the redox-sensitive NF-B and PGC-1α signalling pathways that contribute to skeletal muscle adaptation in response to exercise training. We will conclude with a discussion of unanswered questions in redox signalling in skeletal muscle in the hope of promoting additional research interest in this field.

Abstract
Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is crucial to the remodelling that occurs in skeletal muscle in response to both exercise training and prolonged periods of disuse. This review discusses the redox-sensitive signalling pathways that are responsible for this ROS-induced skeletal muscle adaptation. We begin with a discussion of the sites of ROS production in skeletal muscle fibres. This is followed by an overview of the putative redox-sensitive signalling pathways that promote skeletal muscle adaptation. Specifically, this discussion highlights redox-sensitive kinases, phosphatases and the transcription factor nuclear factor-κB. We also discuss the evidence that connects redox signalling to skeletal muscle adaptation in response to increased muscular activity (i.e. exercise training) and during prolonged periods of muscular inactivity (i.e. immobilization). In an effort to stimulate further research, we conclude with a discussion of unanswered questions about redox signalling in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The first suggestion that physical exercise results in free radical-mediated damage to tissues appeared in 1978, and the past three decades have resulted in a large growth of knowledge regarding exercise and oxidative stress. Although the sources of oxidant production during exercise continue to be debated, it is now well established that both resting and contracting skeletal muscles produce reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. Importantly, intense and prolonged exercise can result in oxidative damage to both proteins and lipids in the contracting myocytes. Furthermore, oxidants can modulate a number of cell signaling pathways and regulate the expression of multiple genes in eukaryotic cells. This oxidant-mediated change in gene expression involves changes at transcriptional, mRNA stability, and signal transduction levels. Furthermore, numerous products associated with oxidant-modulated genes have been identified and include antioxidant enzymes, stress proteins, DNA repair proteins, and mitochondrial electron transport proteins. Interestingly, low and physiological levels of reactive oxygen species are required for normal force production in skeletal muscle, but high levels of reactive oxygen species promote contractile dysfunction resulting in muscle weakness and fatigue. Ongoing research continues to probe the mechanisms by which oxidants influence skeletal muscle contractile properties and to explore interventions capable of protecting muscle from oxidant-mediated dysfunction.

Abstract
Depending on intensity, eccentric exercise is experimentally and clinically documented to have opposing dual effects on skeletal muscle; intense eccentric exercise damages muscle, but daily low-load eccentric exercise prevents damage. To clarify the mechanisms of this dual effect, microscopic damage and oxidative stress were studied in rat quadriceps muscle. Oxidative stress was estimated from an immunostaining of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) and a measurement of muscle tissue preparations, the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). Intense eccentric downhill running (IEE) induced muscle damage that was, microscopically apparent 3 days later. Since AGE-positive cells and decreased ROS scavenging activity were observed earlier (on the day after IEE), cellular damage may be related to ROS production. Intense concentric uphill running (ICE) induced an immediate but transient decrease in ROS scavenging activity, which recovered within a day. Neither AGE-positive cells nor microscopic damage was observed after ICE. Since each contracting muscle fiber develops greater tension during eccentric rather than concentric exercise, the initial trigger of IEE-induced muscle damage may be damage to muscle fibers and connective tissues at the subcellular level. Daily low-load training of eccentric downhill running (LET), but not concentric uphill running, efficiently prevented muscle damage after subsequent IEE. No evident elevation of ROS scavenging activity was evident after LET. We concluded that LET prevents IEE-induced muscle damage not through elevated ROS scavenging activity, but through a suppression of initial subcellular damage that triggers subsequent ROS-producing processes, resulting in cellular delayed damage.

Abstract
There are currently no models of exercise that recruit and train muscles, such as the rat spinotrapezius, that are suitable for transmission intravital microscopic investigation of the microcirculation. Recent experimental evidence supports the concept that running downhill on a motorized treadmill recruits the spinotrapezius muscle of the rat. Based on these results, we tested the hypothesis that 6 wk of downhill running (-14 degrees grade) for 1 h/day, 5 days/wk, at a speed of up to 35 m/min, would 1) increase whole body peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2 peak)), 2) increase spinotrapezius citrate synthase activity, and 3) reduce the fatigability of the spinotrapezius during electrically induced 1-Hz submaximal tetanic contractions. Trained rats (n = 6) elicited a 24% higher Vo(2 peak) (in ml.min(-1).kg(-1): sedentary 58.5 +/- 2.0, trained 72.7 +/- 2.0; P < 0.001) and a 41% greater spinotrapezius citrate synthase activity (in mumol.min(-1).g(-1): sedentary 14.1 +/- 0.7, trained 19.9 +/- 0.9; P < 0.001) compared with sedentary controls (n = 6). In addition, at the end of 15 min of electrical stimulation, trained rats sustained a greater percentage of the initial tension than their sedentary counterparts (control 34.3 +/- 3.1%, trained 59.0 +/- 7.2%; P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that downhill running is successful in promoting training adaptations in the spinotrapezius muscle, including increased oxidative capacity and resistance to fatigue. Since the spinotrapezius muscle is commonly used in studies using intravital microscopy to examine microcirculatory function at rest and during contractions, our results suggest that downhill running is an effective training paradigm that can be used to investigate the mechanisms for improved microcirculatory function following exercise training in health and disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Tapering can be an effective way of enhancing performance after a period of intensive training, but the mechanisms for this ergogenic effect are unclear. It was hypothesized that overload training will increase oxidative stress through an accumulative effect of repeated high-intensity exercise, whereas tapering will improve the antioxidant defense system and alleviate oxidative stress. PURPOSE To study the oxidative stress response to overload training and tapering. METHODS A group of eight well-trained male endurance athletes (30+/-6 yr; 73+/-13 kg; 64+/-6 mL.kg.min) performed two 4-wk periods of training in a crossover design. Each period included a 2-wk build-up phase followed either by 2 wk of training at the same load (control) or by a week with a 40% increase in training load (overload) preceding a week with a 60% reduction in training load (taper). Performance was monitored through weekly 15-min cycling time trials preceded by a 45-min preload at 70% Wmax. Blood samples were taken before and after the time trials and analyzed for oxidatively modified heme (OxHm), methemoglobin (metHb), and glutathione redox status. RESULTS Cycling time trials induced significant postexercise increases in levels of OxHm (+3.8%; P<0.001) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG: +13.9%; P<0.05) and decreases in metHb (-12.1%; P<0.001), reduced glutathione (GSH: -14.4%; P<0.001), and GSH/GSSG (-29.7%; P<0.001). Tapering was shown to significantly increase performance (+4.9%; P<0.05). Training modifications did not influence resting levels or exercise-induced changes of markers of oxidative stress. CONCLUSION A short period of tapered training improves performance but does not seem to be associated with substantial changes in exercise-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Diaphragmatic antioxidant enzymes are upregulated following acute and long-term treadmill exercise, but the effect of lifelong voluntary exercise (E) on diaphragmatic antioxidants is unknown. Therefore, 10-week old Fisher 344 rats were assigned to either: (a) sedentary ad libitum (AL) fed (24AL; n = 6); (b) E + 8% caloric restriction (24ECR; n = 9); or (c) sedentary + 8% caloric restriction (24CR; n = 9) groups. Diaphragms were harvested from animals at 24 months of age. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA in addition to catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-ZnSOD) and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) mRNA and protein levels were measured. Reduced glutathione (GSH) and citrate synthase (CS) activity were measured to assess antioxidant status and oxidative capacity, respectively. The 24CR group demonstrated increased GPX, HO-1, MnSOD, and CAT mRNA compared to 24AL and 24ECR. Interestingly, the increased mRNA in 24CR animals did not result in elevated protein levels. No group differences in Cu-ZnSOD mRNA, CS activity, or GSH were observed, although GSH was 30% greater in 24CR animals (p = 0.085). In summary, although CR elevated the mRNA of key antioxidant enzymes in the diaphragm, lifelong CR alone or in combination with voluntary exercise did not alter diaphragm CS activity, antioxidant protein quantity, or GSH levels.

Abstract
We hypothesized that resistive breathing of moderate to high intensity might increase diaphragm oxidative stress, which could be partially attenuated by antioxidants. Our objective was to assess the levels of oxidative stress in the dog diaphragm after respiratory muscle training of a wide range of intensities and whether N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) might act as an antioxidant. Twelve Beagle dogs were anesthetized with 1% propophol, tracheostomized, and subjected to continuous inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB) (2 h/day for 2 wk). They were further divided into two groups ( n = 6): NAC group (oral NAC administration/24 h for 14 days) and control group (placebo). Diaphragm biopsies were obtained before (baseline biopsy) and after (contralateral hemidiaphragm) IRB and NAC vs. placebo treatment. Oxidative stress was evaluated in all diaphragm biopsies through determination of 3-nitrotyrosine immunoreactivity, protein carbonylation, hydroxynoneal protein adducts, Mn-SOD, and catalase, using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Both protein tyrosine nitration and protein carbonylation were directly related to the amount of the respiratory loads, and NAC treatment abrogated this proportional rise in these two indexes of oxidative stress in response to increasing inspiratory loads. A post hoc analysis revealed that only the diaphragms of dogs subjected to high-intensity loads showed a significant increase in both protein tyrosine nitration and carbonylation, which were also significantly reduced by NAC treatment. These results suggest that high-intensity respiratory loading-induced oxidative stress may be neutralized by NAC treatment during IRB in the canine diaphragm.

Abstract
Modified muscle use or injury can produce a stereotypic inflammatory response in which neutrophils rapidly invade, followed by macrophages. This inflammatory response coincides with muscle repair, regeneration, and growth, which involve activation and proliferation of satellite cells, followed by their terminal differentiation. Recent investigations have begun to explore the relationship between inflammatory cell functions and skeletal muscle injury and repair by using genetically modified animal models, antibody depletions of specific inflammatory cell populations, or expression profiling of inflamed muscle after injury. These studies have contributed to a complex picture in which inflammatory cells promote both injury and repair, through the combined actions of free radicals, growth factors, and chemokines. In this review, recent discoveries concerning the interactions between skeletal muscle and inflammatory cells are presented. New findings clearly show a role for neutrophils in promoting muscle damage soon after muscle injury or modified use. No direct evidence is yet available to show that neutrophils play a beneficial role in muscle repair or regeneration. Macrophages have also been shown capable of promoting muscle damage in vivo and in vitro through the release of free radicals, although other findings indicate that they may also play a role in muscle repair and regeneration through growth factors and cytokine-mediated signaling. However, this role for macrophages in muscle regeneration is still not definitive; other cells present in muscle can also produce the potentially regenerative factors, and it remains to be proven whether macrophage-derived factors are essential for muscle repair or regeneration in vivo. New evidence also shows that muscle cells can release positive and negative regulators of inflammatory cell invasion, and thereby play an active role in modulating the inflammatory process. In particular, muscle-derived nitric oxide can inhibit inflammatory cell invasion of healthy muscle and protect muscle from lysis by inflammatory cells in vivo and in vitro. On the other hand, muscle-derived cytokines can signal for inflammatory cell invasion, at least in vitro. The immediate challenge for advancing our current understanding of the relationships between muscle and inflammatory cells during muscle injury and repair is to place what has been learned in vitro into the complex and dynamic in vivo environment.

Abstract
Prolonged mechanical ventilation results in diaphragmatic oxidative injury, elevated proteolysis, fiber atrophy, and reduced force-generating capacity. We tested the hypothesis that antioxidant infusion during mechanical ventilation would function as an antioxidant to maintain redox balance within diaphragm muscle fibers and therefore prevent oxidative stress and subsequent proteolysis and contractile dysfunction. Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized, tracheostomized, and mechanically ventilated with 21% O(2) for 12 hours. The antioxidant Trolox was intravenously infused in a subset of ventilated animals. Compared with acutely anesthetized, nonventilated control animals, mechanical ventilation resulted in a significant reduction (-17%) in diaphragmatic maximal tetanic force. Importantly, Trolox completely attenuated this mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic contractile deficit. Total diaphragmatic proteolysis was increased 105% in mechanical ventilation animals compared with controls. In contrast, diaphragmatic proteolysis did not differ between controls and mechanical ventilation-Trolox animals. Moreover, 20S proteasome activity in the diaphragm was elevated in the mechanical ventilation animals (+76%); Trolox treatment attenuated this mechanical ventilation-induced rise in protease activity. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that mechanical ventilation-induced oxidative stress is an important factor regulating mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic proteolysis and contractile dysfunction. Our findings suggest that antioxidant therapy could be beneficial during prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Evidence from recent publications indicates that repeated exercise may enhance the quality of life of cancer patients. The lack of reported negative effects and the consistency of the observed benefits lead one to conclude that physical exercise may provide a low-risk therapy that can improve patients' capacity to perform activities of daily living and improve their quality of life. Repeated physical activity may attenuate the adverse effects of cancer therapy, prevent or reverse cachexia, and reduce risk for a second cancer through suppression of inflammatory responses or enhancement of insulin sensitivity, rates of protein synthesis, and anti-oxidant and phase II enzyme activities. These results most likely come about through the ability of physical exercise to attenuate a chronic inflammatory signaling process and to transiently activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase-mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor-kappa B pathways and through its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity. Expanded molecular-based research into these areas may provide new insights into the biological mechanisms associated with cancer rehabilitation and endogenous risk.

Abstract
Antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutases, catalase and glutathione peroxidase) are components of an organism's mechanisms for combating oxidative stress which is generated in normal metabolism and which may also be a reaction in response to external stimuli. This review identifies the general significance of antioxidant enzymes in health and disease, and some of the diseases that are now believed to have oxidative stress as a component. A discussion is then presented of the molecular mechanisms by which antioxidant enzyme expression is controlled at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. The final sections of the review highlight the effects of exercise and hypertension on antioxidant enzyme expression in a number of different tissues, and the possibilities for future studies in these areas are discussed.

Abstract
This study investigated whether fatiguing dynamic exercise depresses maximal in vitro Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity and whether any depression is attenuated with chronic training. Eight untrained (UT), eight resistance-trained (RT), and eight endurance-trained (ET) subjects performed a quadriceps fatigue test, comprising 50 maximal isokinetic contractions (180 degrees /s, 0.5 Hz). Muscle biopsies (vastus lateralis) were taken before and immediately after exercise and were analyzed for maximal in vitro Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (K(+)-stimulated 3-O-methylfluoroscein phosphatase) activity. Resting samples were analyzed for [(3)H]ouabain binding site content, which was 16.6 and 18.3% higher (P < 0.05) in ET than RT and UT, respectively (UT 311 +/- 41, RT 302 +/- 52, ET 357 +/- 29 pmol/g wet wt). 3-O-methylfluoroscein phosphatase activity was depressed at fatigue by -13.8 +/- 4.1% (P < 0.05), with no differences between groups (UT -13 +/- 4, RT -9 +/- 6, ET -22 +/- 6%). During incremental exercise, ET had a lower ratio of rise in plasma K(+) concentration to work than UT (P < 0.05) and tended (P = 0.09) to be lower than RT (UT 18.5 +/- 2.3, RT 16.2 +/- 2.2, ET 11.8 +/- 0.4 nmol. l(-1). J(-1)). In conclusion, maximal in vitro Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was depressed with fatigue, regardless of training state, suggesting that this may be an important determinant of fatigue.

Abstract
The primary inspiratory muscle in mammals is the diaphragm. Endurance exercise elevates both the oxidative and antioxidant capacity of the costal and crural diaphragm. These exercise-induced changes in oxidative and antioxidant capacity occur rapidly after the onset of training and are associated with reduced oxidative injury and improved diaphragmatic endurance.

Abstract
The glutathione peroxidase (GPX) system detoxifies hydroperoxides in cells and uses NADPH to regenerate reduced glutathione. Enzymatic sources of NADPH in skeletal muscle include NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDP), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), and malic enzyme (ME). Our purpose was to explore the relationship in skeletal muscle between GPX and ICDP along with other NADPH-generating enzymes as a function of progressive age and muscle fiber-type. Soleus (SOL), red gastrocnemius (RG), and white gastrocnemius (WG) muscles were extracted from Fischer-344 rats of three different ages: 4 months old (Y); 18 months old (M); and 24 months old (O). Assays were conducted to determine activities of GPX, ICDP, G6PD, and ME along with levels of lipid hydroperoxides. GPX activities were significantly greater in RG and WG of old rats than in younger. ICDP activities were higher in the WG of old and middle aged rats when compared to young adults. GPX and ICDP activities exhibited similar differences among the muscles tested (SOL>RG>WG). In contrast, G6PD and ME activities were not significantly different across muscles. G6PD activities increased in RG with age, but were well over an order of magnitude lower than ICDP in all muscles. ME activities were universally lower than ICDP in all muscles, and decreased with old age in the WG and RG. Lipid hydroperoxides were significantly higher with aging in RG. Significant correlations were found between GPX and ICDP in all muscles. Stepwise regression resulted in a model (R(2)=0.82) that included ICDP and ME in predicting GPX. In summary, these data are consistent with the hypotheses that ICDP is higher in more oxidative fibers, inducible with aging, and most closely associated with the glutathione peroxidase system in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that oxidizing free radical species are generated during exercise, and there has been considerable interest in the potential effects of these on exercising tissues. We hypothesized that contracting skeletal muscle was a major source of oxidizing free radical species and that untrained skeletal muscle would adapt to the oxidative stress of a single short period of contractile activity by upregulation of the activity of cytoprotective proteins in the absence of overt cellular damage. Fifteen minutes of aerobic contractile activity was found to induce a rapid release of superoxide anions from mouse skeletal muscle in vivo, and studies with contracting cultured skeletal muscle myotubes confirmed that this was due to release from myocytes rather than other cell types present within muscle tissue in vivo. This increased oxidant production caused a rapid, transient reduction in muscle protein thiol content, followed by increases in the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase and in content of heat shock proteins. These changes occurred in the absence of overt damage to the muscle cells.
