Abstract
Myoglobin (Mb) plays an important role at rest and during exercise as a reservoir of oxygen and has been suggested to regulate NO• bioavailability under hypoxic/acidic conditions. However, its ultimate role during exercise is still a subject of debate. We aimed to study the effect of Mb deficiency on maximal oxygen uptake (V ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ ) and exercise performance in myoglobin knockout mice (Mb-/- ) when compared to control mice (Mb+/+ ). Furthermore, we also studied NO• bioavailability, assessed as nitrite (NO2 - ) and nitrate (NO3 - ) in the heart, locomotory muscle and in plasma, at rest and during exercise at exhaustion both in Mb-/- and in Mb+/+ mice. The mice performed maximal running incremental exercise on a treadmill with whole-body gas exchange measurements. The Mb-/- mice had lower body mass, heart and hind limb muscle mass (P < 0.001). Mb-/- mice had significantly reduced maximal running performance (P < 0.001).V ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ expressed in ml min-1 in Mb-/ - mice was 37% lower than in Mb+/+ mice (P < 0.001) and 13% lower when expressed in ml min-1 kg body mass-1 (P = 0.001). Additionally, Mb-/- mice had significantly lower plasma, heart and locomotory muscle NO2 - levels at rest. During exercise NO2 - increased significantly in the heart and locomotory muscles of Mb-/- and Mb+/+ mice, whereas no significant changes in NO2 - were found in plasma. Our study showed that, contrary to recent suggestions, Mb deficiency significantly impairsV ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ and maximal running performance in mice. KEY POINTS: Myoglobin knockout mice (Mb-/- ) possess lower maximal oxygen uptake (V ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ ) and poorer maximal running performance than control mice (Mb+/+ ). Respiratory exchange ratio values at high running velocities in Mb-/- mice are higher than in control mice suggesting a shift in substrate utilization towards glucose metabolism in Mb-/- mice at the same running velocities. Lack of myoglobin lowers basal systemic and muscle NO• bioavailability, but does not affect exercise-induced NO2 - changes in plasma, heart and locomotory muscles. The present study demonstrates that myoglobin is of vital importance forV ̇ O 2 max ${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}\max }}$ and maximal running performance as well as explains why previous studies have failed to prove such a role of myoglobin when using the Mb-/- mouse model.

Abstract
Professional athletes are often exposed to high training loads that may lead to overfatigue, overreaching and overtraining that might have a detrimental effects on vascular health. We determined the effects of high training stress on endothelial function assessed by the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and markers of glycocalyx shedding. Vascular examination as well as broad biochemical, hormonal and cardiometabolic evaluation of sprint and middle-distance female runners were performed after 2 months of preparatory training period and compared to age-matched control group of women. Female athletes presented with significantly reduced FMD (p < 0.01) and higher basal serum concentrations of hyaluronan (HA) and syndecan-1 (SDC-1) (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively), that was accompanied by significantly lower basal serum testosterone (T) and free testosterone (fT) concentrations (p < 0.05) and higher cortisol (C) concentration (p < 0.05). It resulted in significantly lower T/C and fT/C ratios in athletes when compared to controls (p < 0.01). Moreover, fT/C ratio were significantly positively correlated to FMD and negatively to HA concentrations in all studied women. Accordingly, the training load was significantly negatively correlated with T/C, fT/C and FMD and positively with the concentrations of HA and SDC-1. We concluded that young female track and field athletes subjected to physical training developed impairment of endothelial function that was associated with anabolic-catabolic hormone balance disturbances. Given that training-induced impairment of endothelial function may have a detrimental effects on vascular health, endothelial status should be regularly monitored in the time-course of training process to minimalize vascular health-risk in athletes.

Abstract
Aims Endothelial dysfunction (ED) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) are both
prognostic factors in heart failure (HF), but the relationship between them is not
clear. In this study, we used a unique mouse model of chronic HF driven by
cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of activated Gαq protein (Tgαq*44 mice) to
characterize the relationship between the development of peripheral ED and the
occurrence of structural nanomechanical and biochemical changes in red blood cells
(RBCs). Methods and results Systemic ED was detected in vivo in 8-month-old Tgαq*44 mice, as
evidenced by impaired acetylcholine-induced vasodilation in the aorta and increased
endothelial permeability in the brachiocephalic artery. ED in the aorta was associated
with impaired nitric oxide (NO) production in the aorta and diminished systemic NO
bioavailability. ED in the aorta was also characterized by increased superoxide and
eicosanoid production. In 4- to 6-month-old Tgαq*44 mice, RBC size and membrane
composition displayed alterations that did not result in significant changes in their
nanomechanical and functional properties. However, 8-month-old Tgαq*44 mice presented
greatly accentuated structural and size changes and increased RBC stiffness. In
12-month-old Tgαq*44 mice, the erythropathy was featured by severely altered RBC shape
and elasticity, increased RDW, impaired RBC deformability, and increased oxidative
stress (gluthatione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG) ratio). Moreover, RBCs taken from
12-month-old Tgαq*44 mice, but not from 12-month-old FVB mice, coincubated with aortic
rings from FVB mice, induced impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation and this effect
was partially reversed by an arginase inhibitor [2(S)-amino-6-boronohexanoic acid]. Conclusion In the Tgαq*44 murine model of HF, systemic ED accelerates erythropathy and,
conversely, erythropathy may contribute to ED. These results suggest that erythropathy
may be regarded as a marker and a mediator of systemic ED in HF. RBC arginase and
possibly other RBC-mediated mechanisms may represent novel therapeutic targets for
systemic ED in HF.

Exogenous Vitamins K Exert Anti-Inflammatory Effects Dissociated from Their Role as Substrates for Synthesis of Endogenous MK-4 in Murine Macrophages Cell Line. Cells 2021; 10:1571.

Abstract
Vitamins K exert a range of activities that extend far beyond coagulation and include anti-inflammatory effects, but the mechanisms involved in anti-inflammatory action remain unclear. In the present study, we showed that various forms of exogenous vitamins-K1, K3, K2 (MK-4, MK-5, MK-6 and MK-7)-regulated a wide scope of inflammatory pathways in murine macrophages in vitro, including NOS-2, COX-2, cytokines and MMPs. Moreover, we demonstrated for the first time that macrophages are able to synthesise endogenous MK-4 on their own. Vitamins with shorter isoprenoid chains-K1, K3 and MK-5-exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory potential than vitamins with longer isoprenoid chains (MK-6 and MK-7) and simultaneously were preferably used as a substrate for MK-4 endogenous production. Most interesting, atorvastatin pretreatment inhibited endogenous MK-4 production but had no impact on the anti-inflammatory activity of vitamins K. In summary, our results demonstrate that macrophages are able to synthesise endogenous MK-4 using exogenous vitamins K, and statin inhibits this process. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of exogenous vitamins K was independent of endogenous MK-4 synthesis.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia linked to diabetes results in endothelial dysfunction. In the present work, we comprehensively characterized effects of short-term hyperglycemia induced by administration of an insulin receptor antagonist, the S961 peptide, on endothelium and perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) in mice. Endothelial function of the thoracic and abdominal aorta in 12-week-old male C57Bl/6Jrj mice treated for two weeks with S961 infusion via osmotic pumps was assessed in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging and ex vivo by detection of nitric oxide (NO) production using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Additional methods were used to analyze PVAT, aortic segments and endothelial-specific plasma biomarkers. Systemic disruption of insulin signaling resulted in severe impairment of NO-dependent endothelial function and a loss of vasoprotective function of PVAT affecting the thoracic as well as abdominal parts of the aorta, however a fall in adiponectin expression and decreased uncoupling protein 1-positive area were more pronounced in the thoracic aorta. Results suggest that dysfunctional PVAT contributes to vascular pathology induced by altered insulin signaling in diabetes, in the absence of fat overload and obesity.

Abstract
Research in redox biology of exercise has made considerable advances in the last 70 years. Since the seminal study of George Pake's group calculating the content of free radicals in skeletal muscle in resting conditions in 1954, many discoveries have been made in the field. The first section of this review is devoted to highlight the main research findings and fundamental changes in the exercise redox biology discipline. It includes: i) the first steps in free radical research, ii) the relation between exercise and oxidative damage, iii) the redox regulation of muscle fatigue, iv) the sources of free radicals during muscle contractions, and v) the role of reactive oxygen species as regulators of gene transcription and adaptations in skeletal muscle. In the second section of the manuscript, we review the available biomarkers for assessing health, performance, recovery during exercise training and overtraining in the sport population. Among the set of biomarkers that could be determined in exercise studies we deepen on the four categories of redox biomarkers: i) oxidants, ii) antioxidants, iii) oxidation products (markers of oxidative damage), and iv) measurements of the redox balance (markers of oxidative stress). The main drawbacks, strengths, weaknesses, and methodological considerations of every biomarker are also discussed.

Background Long-term feeding with a high-fat diet (HFD) induces endothelial dysfunction in mice, but early HFD-induced effects on endothelium have not been well characterized. Methods and Results Using an magnetic resonance imaging-based methodology that allows characterization of endothelial function in vivo, we demonstrated that short-term (2 weeks) feeding with a HFD to C57BL/6 mice or to E3L.CETP mice resulted in the impairment of acetylcholine-induced response in the abdominal aorta (AA), whereas, in the thoracic aorta (TA), the acetylcholine-induced response was largely preserved. Similarly, HFD resulted in arterial stiffness in the AA, but not in the TA. The difference in HFD-induced response was ascribed to distinct characteristics of perivascular adipose tissue in the TA and AA, related to brown- and white-like adipose tissue, respectively, as assessed by histology, immunohistochemistry, and Raman spectroscopy. In contrast, short-term HFD-induced endothelial dysfunction could not be linked to systemic insulin resistance, changes in plasma concentration of nitrite, or concentration of biomarkers of glycocalyx disruption (syndecan-1 and endocan), endothelial inflammation (soluble form of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, soluble form of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and soluble form of E-selectin), endothelial permeability (soluble form of fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and angiopoietin 2), and hemostasis (tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1). Conclusions Short-term feeding with a HFD induces endothelial dysfunction in the AA but not in the TA, which could be ascribed to a differential response of perivascular adipose tissue to a HFD in the AA versus TA. Importantly, early endothelial dysfunction in the AA is not linked to elevation of classical systemic biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Background The impairment of endothelium‐dependent vasodilation, increased endothelial permeability, and glycocalyx degradation are all important pathophysiological components of endothelial dysfunction. However, it is still not clear whether in atherosclerosis, glycocalyx injury precedes other features of endothelial dysfunction or these events coincide. Methods and Results Herein, we demonstrate that in 4‐ to 8‐week‐old apolipoprotein E/low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐deficient mice, at the stage before development of atherosclerotic plaques, impaired acetylcholine‐induced vasodilation, reduced NO production in aorta, and increased endothelial permeability were all observed; however, flow‐mediated dilation in the femoral artery was fully preserved. In 4‐week‐old mice, glycocalyx coverage was reduced and endothelial stiffness was increased, whereas glycocalyx length was significantly decreased at 8 weeks of age. Early changes in endothelial function were also featured by increased plasma concentration of biomarkers of glycocalyx disruption (endocan), biomarkers of endothelial inflammation (soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1), increased vascular permeability (angiopoietin 2), and alterations in hemostasis (tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1). In 28‐week‐old mice, at the stage of advanced atherosclerotic plaque development, impaired NO production and nearly all other features of endothelial dysfunction were changed to a similar extent, compared with the preatherosclerotic plaque phase. The exceptions were the occurrence of acetylcholine‐induced vasoconstriction in the aorta and brachiocephalic artery, impaired flow‐mediated vasodilation in the femoral artery, and further reduction of glycocalyx length and coverage with a concomitant further increase in endothelial permeability. Conclusions In conclusion, even at the early stage before the development of atherosclerotic plaques, endothelial dysfunction is a complex multifactorial response that has not been previously appreciated.

Multiorgan Development of Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress in LPS-Induced Endotoxemia in C57Bl/6 Mice: DHE-Based In Vivo Approach. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:7838406.

Abstract
Detection of free radicals in tissues is challenging. Most approaches rely on incubating excised sections or homogenates with reagents, typically at supraphysiologic oxygen tensions, to finally detect surrogate, nonspecific end products. In the present work, we explored the potential of using intravenously (i.v.) injected dihydroethidine (DHE) to detect superoxide radical (O2 ∙-) abundance in vivo by quantification of the superoxide-specific DHE oxidation product, 2-hydroxyethidium (2-OH-E+), as well as ethidium (E+) and DHE in multiple tissues in a murine model of endotoxemia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.), while DHE was delivered via the tail vein one hour before sacrifice. Tissues (kidney, lung, liver, and brain) were harvested and subjected to HPLC/fluorescent analysis of DHE and its monomeric oxidation products. In parallel, electron spin resonance (EPR) spin trapping was used to measure nitric oxide (∙NO) production in the aorta, lung, and liver isolated from the same mice. Endotoxemic inflammation was validated by analysis of plasma biomarkers. The concentration of 2-OH-E+ varied in the liver, lung, and kidney; however, the ratios of 2-OH-E+/E+ and 2-OH-E+/DHE were increased in the liver and kidney but not in the lung or the brain. An LPS-induced robust level of ∙NO burst was observed in the liver, whereas the lung demonstrated a moderate yet progressive increase in the rate of ∙NO production. Interestingly, endothelial dysfunction was observed in the aorta, as evidenced by decreased ∙NO production 6 hours post-LPS injection that coincided with the inflammatory burden of endotoxemia (e.g. elevated serum amyloid A and prostaglandin E2). Combined, these data demonstrate that systemic delivery of DHE affords the capacity to specifically detect O2 ∙- production in vivo. Furthermore, the ratio of 2-OH-E+/E+ oxidation products in tissues provides a tool for comparative insight into the oxidative environments in various organs. Based on our findings, we demonstrate that the endotoxemic liver is susceptible to both O2 ∙--mediated and nonspecific oxidant stress as well as nitrosative stress. Oxidant stress in the lung was detected to a lesser extent, thus underscoring a differential response of liver and lung to endotoxemic injury induced by intraperitoneal LPS injection.
