Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical training in patients with heart failure can affect hemodynamic, cardiac and angiogenesis parameters. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of traditional moderate-intensity rehabilitation training and interval training on some angiogenesis factors in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. METHODS Thirty CABG patients (mean age±SD, 55±3 years) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or the control group. After the initial assessments, eligible patients in the experimental groups (HIIT and MICT) performed exercise training for 8 weeks, while the control group did not. Angiogenesis and angiostatic indices, including pro-adrenomedullin (pro-ADM), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and endostatin, were then measured. RESULTS The results showed no significant difference between pro-ADM in the HIIT and MICT groups (P = 0.99), but a significant difference was found between MICT and the control group and between HIIT and the control group (P = 0.001). There is also no significant difference between the bFGF levels in the HIIT and MICT training groups (P = 1.00), but the changes in this factor between the training groups and the control group were significant (P = 0.001). There was a significant difference between the levels of endostatin in all three groups. CONCLUSIONS Two methods of cardiac rehabilitation (HIIT and MICT) may be useful for the recovery of patients with coronary artery bypass grafting. This improvement manifested itself in changes in angiogenesis and angiostatic indices in this study. However, more extensive studies are needed to investigate the effects of these two types of rehabilitation programs on other indicators of angiogenesis and angiostatic.

Abstract
Adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments (MVF) are functional vessel segments, which rapidly reassemble into new microvasculatures under experimental in vitro and in vivo conditions. Accordingly, they have been used for many years in microcirculation research to study basic mechanisms of endothelial cell function, angiogenesis and microvascular network formation in two- and three-dimensional environments. Moreover, they serve as vascularization units for musculoskeletal regeneration and implanted biomaterials as well as for the treatment of myocardial infarction and the generation of prevascularized tissue organoids. Besides, multiple factors determining the vascularization capacity of MVF have been identified, including their tissue origin and cellular composition, the conditions for their short- and long-term storage as well as their implantation site and the general health status and medication of the recipient. The next challenging step is now the successful translation of all these promising experimental findings into clinical practice. If this succeeds, a multitude of future therapeutic applications may significantly benefit from the remarkable properties of MVF.

Pterostilbene Enhances Endurance Capacity via Promoting Skeletal Muscle Adaptations to Exercise Training in Rats. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25010186. [PMID: 31906449 PMCID: PMC6982856 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25010186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2019] [Revised: 12/27/2019] [Accepted: 12/31/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
It has been demonstrated that skeletal muscle adaptions, including muscle fibers transition, angiogenesis, and mitochondrial biogenesis are involved in the regular exercise-induced improvement of endurance capacity and metabolic status. Herein, we investigated the effects of pterostilbene (PST) supplementation on skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise training in rats. Six-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sedentary control group (Sed), an exercise training group (Ex), and exercise training combined with 50 mg/kg PST (Ex + PST) treatment group. After 4 weeks of intervention, an exhaustive running test was performed, and muscle fiber type transformation, angiogenesis, and mitochondrial content in the soleus muscle were measured. Additionally, the effects of PST on muscle fiber transformation, paracrine regulation of angiogenesis, and mitochondrial function were tested in vitro using C2C12 myotubes. In vivo study showed that exercise training resulted in significant increases in time-to-exhaustion, the proportion of slow-twitch fibers, muscular angiogenesis, and mitochondrial biogenesis in rats, and these effects induced by exercise training could be augmented by PST supplementation. Moreover, the in vitro study showed that PST treatment remarkably promoted slow-twitch fibers formation, angiogenic factor expression, and mitochondrial function in C2C12 myotubes. Collectively, our results suggest that PST promotes skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise training thereby enhancing the endurance capacity.

Abstract
[Purpose] Although it is known that exercise induces angiogenesis, a clear mechanism has remained elusive due to various experimental limitations. This review presents the current status of angiogenesis-related experiments and future directions of experimentation in relation to exercise, aging, and cancer. [Methods] We conducted a PubMed search of the available literature to identify reported exercise related changes of angiogenic factors obtained in vitro using C2C12 cells and endothelial cells, and in vivo using animal experiments and in clinical studies. [Results] Exercise induced angiogenesis under normal conditions. Aging decreased angiogenic factors and increased during exercise. On the other hand, in cancer, the results indicate that angiogenic factors tend to increase in general, and that the effects of exercise need to be studied more. The exact mechanism remains unclear. [Conclusion] The effect of exercise on angiogenesis appears positive. Both resistance and aerobic exercise have positive effects, but many evidences suggest that the effects are more pronounced with aerobic exercise. Further research on the precise mechanism(s) is necessary. It is expected that these studies will include models of aging and cancer.

Abstract
Aerobic exercise training leads to cardiovascular changes that markedly increase aerobic power and lead to improved endurance performance. The functionally most important adaptation is the improvement in maximal cardiac output which is the result of an enlargement in cardiac dimension, improved contractility, and an increase in blood volume, allowing for greater filling of the ventricles and a consequent larger stroke volume. In parallel with the greater maximal cardiac output, the perfusion capacity of the muscle is increased, permitting for greater oxygen delivery. To accommodate the higher aerobic demands and perfusion levels, arteries, arterioles, and capillaries adapt in structure and number. The diameters of the larger conduit and resistance arteries are increased minimizing resistance to flow as the cardiac output is distributed in the body and the wall thickness of the conduit and resistance arteries is reduced, a factor contributing to increased arterial compliance. Endurance training may also induce alterations in the vasodilator capacity, although such adaptations are more pronounced in individuals with reduced vascular function. The microvascular net increases in size within the muscle allowing for an improved capacity for oxygen extraction by the muscle through a greater area for diffusion, a shorter diffusion distance, and a longer mean transit time for the erythrocyte to pass through the smallest blood vessels. The present article addresses the effect of endurance training on systemic and peripheral cardiovascular adaptations with a focus on humans, but also covers animal data.

Abstract
The intent of this study was to determine whether endurance exercise training regulates increases in metabolic enzymes, which parallel modulations of myogenin and MyoD in skeletal muscle of rats. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were endurance trained (TR) 5 days weekly for 8 wk on a motorized treadmill. They were killed 48 h after their last bout of exercise. Sedentary control (Con) rats were killed at the same time as TR animals. Myogenin, MyoD, citrate synthase (CS), cytochrome- c oxidase (COX) subunits II and VI, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and myosin light chain mRNA contents were determined in soleus muscles by using RT-PCR. Myogenin mRNA content was also estimated by using dot-blot hybridization. Protein expression levels of myogenin and MyoD were measured by Western blots. CS enzymatic activity was also measured. RT-PCR measurements showed that the mRNA contents of myogenin, CS, COX II, COX VI, and LDH were 25, 20, 17, 16, and 18% greater, respectively, in TR animals compared with Con animals ( P < 0.05). The ratio of myogenin to MyoD mRNA content estimated by RT-PCR in TR animals was 28% higher than that in Con animals ( P < 0.05). Myosin light chain expression was similar in Con and TR muscles. Results from dot-blot hybridization to a riboprobe further confirmed the increase in myogenin mRNA level in TR group. Western blot analysis indicated a 24% greater level of myogenin protein in TR animals compared with Con animals ( P < 0.01). The soleus muscles from TR animals had a 25% greater CS enzymatic activity than the Con animals ( P < 0.01). Moreover, myogenin mRNA and protein contents were positively correlated to CS activity and mRNA contents of CS, COX II, and COX VI ( P < 0.05). These data are consistent with the hypothesis that myogenin is in the pathway for exercise-induced changes in mitochondrial enzymes.

Abstract
Most resistance training studies of older subjects have emphasized low-intensity, short-term training programs that have concentrated on strength measurements. The purpose of this study was, in addition to the determination of strength, to assess intramuscular and transport factors that may be associated with strength increments. Eighteen untrained men ages 60-75 years volunteered for the study; 9 were randomly placed in the resistance-training group (RT), and the other half served as untrained (UT) or control subjects. RT subjects performed a 16-week high-intensity (85-90% 1 repetition maximum (RT]) resistance training program (2 x/wk) consisting of 3 sets each to failure (6-8 repetitions based on 1 RM of 3 exercises): leg press (LP), half squat (HS), and leg extension (LE) with 1-2 minutes rest between sets. Pre- and post- training strength was measured for the 3 training exercises using a 1 RM protocol. Body fat was calculated using a 3-site skinfold method. Biopsies from the vastus lateralis m. were obtained for fiber type composition, cross-sectional area, and capillarization measurements. Exercise metabolism, electrocardiography, and arterial blood pressure were observed continuously during a progressive treadmill test, and resting echocardiographic data were recorded for all subjects. Pre- and post-training venous blood samples were analyzed for serum lipids. Resistance training caused significant changes in the following comparisons: % fat decreased in the RT group by almost 3%, strength improved for all exercises: LE = + 50.4%, LP = + 72.3%, HS = + 83.5%; type IIB fibers decreased and IIA fibers increased; cross-sectional areas of all fiber types (I, IIA, IIB) increased significantly, and capillary to fiber ratio increased but not significantly. No differences were noted for ECG and echocardiographic data. The RT group significantly improved treadmill performance and VO2max. Pre- and post-training serum lipids improved but not significantly. No significant changes occurred in any pre- to post-tests for the UT group. The results show that skeletal muscle in older, untrained men will respond with significant strength gains accompanied by considerable increases in fiber size and capillary density. Maximal working capacity, VO2max, and serum lipid profiles also benefited from high-intensity resistance training, but no changes were observed for HR max, or maximal responses of arterial blood pressure. Older men may not only tolerate very high intensity work loads but will exhibit intramuscular, cardiovascular, and metabolic changes similar to younger subjects.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) causes endothelial cell proliferation in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo. Glycolytic skeletal muscles have a lower capillary density than oxidative muscles but can increase their capillary density and convert to a more oxidative phenotype when subject to chronic motor nerve stimulation (CMNS). We used Western analysis and immunohistochemical techniques to examine VEGF protein in a rabbit CMNS model of glycolytic skeletal muscle and in muscles with innate glycolytic versus oxidative phenotypes. VEGF protein per gram of total protein was increased in stimulated vs. control muscles 2.9 +/- 1.0, 3.6 +/- 1.3, 3.1 +/- 0.5, 4.4 +/- 1.6, and 2.7 +/- 0.3 times after 3 (n = 4), 5 (n = 2), 10 (n = 3), 21 (n = 3), and 56 (n = 2) days, respectively. VEGF protein was increased 3.1 +/- 0.5 times (P < 0.005) before (3, 5, and 10 days) and remained elevated 3.7 +/- 1.0 times (P < 0.05) after (21 and 56 days) the transition to an oxidative phenotype. By immunohistochemistry, VEGF protein was found primarily in the matrix between stimulated muscle fibers but not in the myocytes. In addition, VEGF protein was consistently lower in innate glycolytic compared with oxidative muscles. These findings suggest that VEGF plays a role in the alteration and maintenance of vascular density in mammalian skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Adaptations of skeletal muscle morphology and metabolic enzymes were studied after prolonged training in and exposure to hypobaric (740 -770 mbar) as well as normobaric conditions in rats performing treadmill running training for 10, 21 and 56 days. Animals sacrificed after 91 days served as recovery groups from training and hypobaric exposure for 56 days. The rats were divided into normobaric sedentary (NS) and training (NT) groups and hypobaric sedentary (HS) and training (HT) groups. The weights of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles increased significantly in the 56HS and the 56HT groups compared with the 56NS group, the increase being greatest in the 56HS group. No differences in the mean fibre areas (MFA) of these muscles could be seen, whereas clearly reduced MFAs of type IIA and IIB were observed in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle. However, fibre area distribution analyses in the EDL and TA muscles showed a higher proportion of larger fibers in the 56HS and 56HT groups than in the respective normobaric groups. On the contrary, in SOL muscles the proportion of smaller fibers was higher in the hypobaric than in normobaric groups at 56 days. Increased activities of citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase in SOL and TA muscles in the 56HT group indicate an increase in oxidative capacity. It is concluded that exposure to, and training in moderate hypobaric conditions leads to a positive muscle protein balance which is reflected in increased muscle weights. However, the sites of increased protein synthesis and the possible hyperplasia remain to be studied further.

Abstract
The contribution of basic fibroblast growth factor to brown adipose tissue (BAT) enlargement during cold acclimation was investigated using rat brown adipocytes in primary culture. After cold exposure (at 5 degrees C) for 28 days, the level of bFGF messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in BAT of cold-acclimated rats was markedly increased with the increase in the BAT weight. In addition, the blood plasma from cold-acclimated rats considerably enhanced the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor mRNA in rat brown adipocytes. Likewise, the blood plasma from cold-acclimated rats significantly stimulated the growth of rat brown adipocyte precursor cells compared with that from warm-acclimated rats, whereas there was no difference of effect between the two blood plasmas on the growth of bovine capillary endothelial cells. Basic fibroblast growth factor, but not platelet-derived growth factor stimulated the growth of brown adipocyte precursor cells. The conditioned medium from brown adipocyte primary culture markedly stimulated the growth of bovine capillary endothelial cells and the effect was inhibited considerably by antibasic fibroblast growth factor antibody. These results suggest that some factors concerned with the growth of brown adipocyte precursor cells are present in the blood plasma from cold-acclimated rats, and that basic fibroblast growth factor produced by brown adipocytes may significantly contribute to BAT enlargement by autocrine mechanisms during cold exposure.
