Abstract
Highly bioavailable inorganic phosphate (Pi) is present in large quantities in the typical Western diet and represents a large fraction of total phosphate intake. Dietary Pi excess induces exercise intolerance and skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction in normal mice. However, the relevance of this to humans remains unknown. The study was conducted on 13 individuals without a history of cardiopulmonary disease (46% female, 15% Black participants) enrolled in the pilot-phase of the Dallas Heart and Mind Study. Total dietary phosphate was estimated from 24-h dietary recall (ASA24). Muscle ATP synthesis was measured at rest, and phosphocreatinine (PCr) dynamics was measured during plantar flexion exercise using 7-T 31P magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy in the calf muscle. Correlation was assessed between dietary phosphate intake normalized to total caloric intake, resting ATP synthesis, and PCr depletion during exercise. Higher dietary phosphate intake was associated with lower resting ATP synthesis (r = -0.62, P = 0.03), and with higher levels of PCr depletion during plantar flexion exercise relative to the resting period (r = -0.72; P = 0.004). These associations remain significant after adjustment for age and estimated glomerular filtration rate (both P < 0.05). High dietary phosphate intake was also associated with lower serum Klotho levels, and Klotho levels are in turn associated with PCr depletion and higher ADP accumulation post exercise. Our study suggests that higher dietary phosphate is associated with reduced skeletal muscle mitochondrial function at rest and exercise in humans providing new insight into potential mechanisms linking the Western diet to impaired energy metabolism.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first translational research study directly demonstrating the adverse effects of dietary phosphate on muscle energy metabolism in humans. Importantly, our data show that dietary phosphate is associated with impaired muscle ATP synthesis at rest and during exercise, independent of age and renal function. This is a new biologic paradigm with significant clinical dietary implications.

Abstract
Prior animal and cell studies have demonstrated a direct role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) in enhancing skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and exercise capacity. However, the relevance of these animal and cell investigations in humans remains unknown. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 48 adults (67% female, 8% Black participants, age 39 ± 15.4 yr old) to characterize the associations between HDL measures, ApoA-I, and muscle mitochondrial function. Forearm muscle oxygen recovery time (tau) from postexercise recovery kinetics was used to assess skeletal muscle mitochondrial function. Lipoprotein measures were assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance. HDL efflux capacity was assessed using J774 macrophages, radiolabeled cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B-depleted plasma both with and without added cyclic adenosine monophosphate. In univariate analyses, faster skeletal muscle oxygen recovery time (lower tau) was significantly associated with higher levels of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), ApoA-I, and larger mean HDL size, but not HDL cholesterol efflux capacity. Slower recovery time (higher tau) was positively associated with body mass index (BMI) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). In multivariable linear regression analyses, higher levels of HDL-C and ApoA-I, as well as larger HDL size, were independently associated with faster skeletal muscle oxygen recovery times that persisted after adjusting for BMI and FPG (all P < 0.05). In conclusion, higher levels of HDL-C, ApoA-I, and larger mean HDL size were independently associated with enhanced skeletal muscle mitochondrial function in healthy humans.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our study provides the first direct evidence supporting the beneficial role of HDL-C and ApoA-I on enhanced skeletal muscle mitochondrial function in healthy young to middle-aged humans without cardiometabolic disease.

Lower muscle mitochondrial energetics is associated with greater phenotypic frailty in older women and men: the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging. GeroScience 2024; 46:2409-2424.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenotypic frailty syndrome identifies older adults at greater risk for adverse health outcomes. Despite the critical role of mitochondria in maintaining cellular function, including energy production, the associations between muscle mitochondrial energetics and frailty have not been widely explored in a large, well-phenotyped, older population. METHODS The Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA) assessed muscle energetics in older adults (N = 879, mean age = 76.3 years, 59.2% women). 31Phosporous magnetic resonance spectroscopy measured maximal production of adenosine triphosphate (ATPmax) in vivo, while ex vivo high-resolution respirometry of permeabilized muscle fibers from the vastus lateralis measured maximal oxygen consumption supported by fatty acids and complex I- and II-linked carbohydrates (e.g., Max OXPHOSCI+CII). Five frailty criteria, shrinking, weakness, exhaustion, slowness, and low activity, were used to classify participants as robust (0, N = 397), intermediate (1-2, N = 410), or frail (≥ 3, N = 66). We estimated the proportional odds ratio (POR) for greater frailty, adjusted for multiple potential confounders. RESULTS One-SD decrements of most respirometry measures (e.g., Max OXPHOSCI+CII, adjusted POR = 1.5, 95%CI [1.2,1.8], p = 0.0001) were significantly associated with greater frailty classification. The associations of ATPmax with frailty were weaker than those between Max OXPHOSCI+CII and frailty. Muscle energetics was most strongly associated with slowness and low physical activity components. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that deficits in muscle mitochondrial energetics may be a biological driver of frailty in older adults. On the other hand, we did observe differential relationships between measures of muscle mitochondrial energetics and the individual components of frailty.

Abstract
Human skeletal muscle oxidative capacity can be quantified non-invasively using 31-phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) to measure the rate constant of phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery (kPCr) following contractions. In the quadricep muscles, several studies have quantified kPCr following 24-30 s of sustained maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). This approach has the advantage of simplicity but is potentially problematic because sustained MVICs inhibit perfusion, which may limit muscle oxygen availability or increase the intracellular metabolic perturbation, and thus affect kPCr. Alternatively, dynamic contractions allow reperfusion between contractions, which may avoid limitations in oxygen delivery. To determine whether dynamic contraction protocols elicit greater kPCr than sustained MVIC protocols, we used a cross-sectional design to compare quadriceps kPCr in 22 young and 11 older healthy adults following 24 s of maximal voluntary: (1) sustained MVIC and (2) dynamic (MVDC; 120°·s-1, 1 every 2 s) contractions. Muscle kPCr was ∼20% lower following the MVIC protocol compared with the MVDC protocol (p ≤ 0.001), though this was less evident in older adults (p = 0.073). Changes in skeletal muscle pH (p ≤ 0.001) and PME accumulation (p ≤ 0.001) were greater following the sustained MVIC protocol, and pH (p ≤ 0.001) and PME (p ≤ 0.001) recovery were slower. These results demonstrate that (i) a brief, sustained MVIC yields a lower value for skeletal muscle oxidative capacity than an MVDC protocol of similar duration and (ii) this difference may not be consistent across populations (e.g., young vs. old). Thus, the potential effect of contraction protocol on comparisons of kPCr in different study groups requires careful consideration in the future.

Skeletal muscle analysis of cancer patients reveals a potential role for carnosine in muscle wasting. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2023; 14:1802-1814. [PMID: 37199284 PMCID: PMC10401540 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle wasting during cancer cachexia is mediated by protein degradation via autophagy and ubiquitin-linked proteolysis. These processes are sensitive to changes in intracellular pH ([pH]i ) and reactive oxygen species, which in skeletal muscle are partly regulated by histidyl dipeptides, such as carnosine. These dipeptides, synthesized by the enzyme carnosine synthase (CARNS), remove lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes, and buffer [pH]i . Nevertheless, their role in muscle wasting has not been studied. METHODS Histidyl dipeptides in the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle and red blood cells (RBCs) of male and female controls (n = 37), weight stable (WS: n = 35), and weight losing (WL; n = 30) upper gastrointestinal cancer (UGIC) patients, were profiled by LC-MS/MS. Expression of enzymes and amino acid transporters, involved in carnosine homeostasis, was measured by Western blotting and RT-PCR. Skeletal muscle myotubes were treated with Lewis lung carcinoma conditioned medium (LLC CM), and β-alanine to study the effects of enhancing carnosine production on muscle wasting. RESULTS Carnosine was the predominant dipeptide present in the RA muscle. In controls, carnosine levels were higher in men (7.87 ± 1.98 nmol/mg tissue) compared with women (4.73 ± 1.26 nmol/mg tissue; P = 0.002). In men, carnosine was significantly reduced in both the WS (5.92 ± 2.04 nmol/mg tissue, P = 0.009) and WL (6.15 ± 1.90 nmol/mg tissue; P = 0.030) UGIC patients, compared with controls. In women, carnosine was decreased in the WL UGIC (3.42 ± 1.33 nmol/mg tissue; P = 0.050), compared with WS UGIC patients (4.58 ± 1.57 nmol/mg tissue), and controls (P = 0.025). Carnosine was significantly reduced in the combined WL UGIC patients (5.12 ± 2.15 nmol/mg tissue) compared with controls (6.21 ± 2.24 nmol/mg tissue; P = 0.045). Carnosine was also significantly reduced in the RBCs of WL UGIC patients (0.32 ± 0.24 pmol/mg protein), compared with controls (0.49 ± 0.31 pmol/mg protein, P = 0.037) and WS UGIC patients (0.51 ± 0.40 pmol/mg protein, P = 0.042). Depletion of carnosine diminished the aldehyde-removing ability in the muscle of WL UGIC patients. Carnosine levels were positively associated with decreases in skeletal muscle index in the WL UGIC patients. CARNS expression was decreased in the muscle of WL UGIC patients and myotubes treated with LLC-CM. Treatment with β-alanine, a carnosine precursor, enhanced endogenous carnosine production and decreased ubiquitin-linked protein degradation in LLC-CM treated myotubes. CONCLUSIONS Depletion of carnosine could contribute to muscle wasting in cancer patients by lowering the aldehyde quenching abilities. Synthesis of carnosine by CARNS in myotubes is particularly affected by tumour derived factors and could contribute to carnosine depletion in WL UGIC patients. Increasing carnosine in skeletal muscle may be an effective therapeutic intervention to prevent muscle wasting in cancer patients.

Abstract
Carnosine is a performance-enhancing food supplement with a potential to modulate muscle energy metabolism and toxic metabolites disposal. In this study we explored interrelations between carnosine supplementation (2 g/day, 12 weeks) induced effects on carnosine muscle loading and parallel changes in (i) muscle energy metabolism, (ii) serum albumin glycation and (iii) reactive carbonyl species sequestering in twelve (M/F=10/2) sedentary, overweight-to-obese (BMI: 30.0+/-2.7 kg/m2) adults (40.1+/-6.2 years). Muscle carnosine concentration (Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; 1H-MRS), dynamics of muscle energy metabolism (Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; 31P-MRS), body composition (Magnetic Resonance Imaging; MRI), resting energy expenditure (indirect calorimetry), glucose tolerance (oGTT), habitual physical activity (accelerometers), serum carnosine and carnosinase-1 content/activity (ELISA), albumin glycation, urinary carnosine and carnosine-propanal concentration (mass spectrometry) were measured. Supplementation-induced increase in muscle carnosine was paralleled by improved dynamics of muscle post-exercise phosphocreatine recovery, decreased serum albumin glycation and enhanced urinary carnosine-propanal excretion (all p<0.05). Magnitude of supplementation-induced muscle carnosine accumulation was higher in individuals with lower baseline muscle carnosine, who had lower BMI, higher physical activity level, lower resting intramuscular pH, but similar muscle mass and dietary protein preference. Level of supplementation-induced increase in muscle carnosine correlated with reduction of protein glycation, increase in reactive carbonyl species sequestering, and acceleration of muscle post-exercise phosphocreatine recovery.

Abstract
Background Histidyl dipeptides such as carnosine are present in a micromolar to millimolar range in mammalian hearts. These dipeptides facilitate glycolysis by proton buffering. They form conjugates with reactive aldehydes, such as acrolein, and attenuate myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury. Although these dipeptides exhibit multifunctional properties, a composite understanding of their role in the myocardium is lacking. Methods and Results To identify histidyl dipeptide–mediated responses in the heart, we used an integrated triomics approach, which involved genome‐wide RNA sequencing, global proteomics, and unbiased metabolomics to identify the effects of cardiospecific transgenic overexpression of the carnosine synthesizing enzyme, carnosine synthase (Carns), in mice. Our result showed that higher myocardial levels of histidyl dipeptides were associated with extensive changes in the levels of several microRNAs, which target the expression of contractile proteins, β‐fatty acid oxidation, and citric acid cycle (TCA) enzymes. Global proteomic analysis showed enrichment in the expression of contractile proteins, enzymes of β‐fatty acid oxidation, and the TCA in the Carns transgenic heart. Under aerobic conditions, the Carns transgenic hearts had lower levels of short‐ and long‐chain fatty acids as well as the TCA intermediate—succinic acid; whereas, under ischemic conditions, the accumulation of fatty acids and TCA intermediates was significantly attenuated. Integration of multiple data sets suggested that β‐fatty acid oxidation and TCA pathways exhibit correlative changes in the Carns transgenic hearts at all 3 levels. Conclusions Taken together, these findings reveal a central role of histidyl dipeptides in coordinated regulation of myocardial structure, function, and energetics.

Abstract
Most in vivo 31P MR studies are realized on 3T MR systems that provide sufficient signal intensity for prominent phosphorus metabolites. The identification of these metabolites in the in vivo spectra is performed by comparing their chemical shifts with the chemical shifts measured in vitro on high-field NMR spectrometers. To approach in vivo conditions at 3T, a set of phantoms with defined metabolite solutions were measured in a 3T whole-body MR system at 7.0 and 7.5 pH, at 37 °C. A free induction decay (FID) sequence with and without 1H decoupling was used. Chemical shifts were obtained of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), phosphatidylcholine (PtdC), phosphocholine (PC), phosphoethanolamine (PE), glycerophosphocholine (GPC), glycerophosphoetanolamine (GPE), uridine diphosphoglucose (UDPG), glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), glucose-1-phosphate (G1P), 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH and NAD+), phosphocreatine (PCr), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and inorganic phosphate (Pi). The measured chemical shifts were used to construct a basis set of 31P MR spectra for the evaluation of 31P in vivo spectra of muscle and the liver using LCModel software (linear combination model). Prior knowledge was successfully employed in the analysis of previously acquired in vivo data.

Abstract
The field of exercise physiology has enjoyed tremendous growth in the past 40 years. With its foundations in the natural sciences, it is an interdisciplinary field that is highly relevant to human performance and health. The focus of this review is on highlighting new approaches, knowledge, and opportunities that have emerged in exercise physiology over the last four decades. Key among these is the adoption of advanced technologies by exercise physiologists to address fundamental research questions, and the expansion of research topics to range from molecular to organismal, and population scales in order to clarify the underlying mechanisms and impact of physiological responses to exercise in health and disease. Collectively, these advances have ensured the position of the field as a partner in generating new knowledge across many scientific and health disciplines.

Repeatability of multinuclear interleaved acquisitions with nuclear Overhauser enhancement effect in dynamic experiments in the calf muscle at 3T. Magn Reson Med 2021; 86:115-130. [PMID: 33565187 DOI: 10.1002/mrm.28684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the repeatability of multinuclear interleaved 1 H/31 P NMR dynamic acquisitions in skeletal muscle and the impact of nuclear Overhauser enhancement (nOe) on the 31 P results at 3T in exercise-recovery and ischemia-hyperemia paradigms. METHODS A 1 H/31 P interleaved pulse sequence was used to measure every 2.5 s a perfusion-weighted image, a T 2 ∗ map, a 31 P spectrum and 32 1 H spectra sensitive to deoxymyoglobin. 21 subjects performed a plantar flexion exercise and after recovery underwent an 8-min lower leg ischemia. The procedure was repeated in visit 2 with 12 subjects. An additional exercise bout without 1 H excitation was appended to visit 1. Individual 1 H RF pulse nOe was measured at rest in every visit. RESULTS Repeatability scores (coefficient of variation, Bland-Altman analysis) were similar to those found in the literature using similar mono-nuclear acquisitions. |Pi]/[PCr], pH drop, creatine rephosphorylation rate (τPCr ), maximum perfusion, time to peak perfusion, and blood flow post-exercise showed high reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.7), whereas hemodynamic results from reactive hyperemia showed higher repeatability. After accounting for nOe, which increased Pi and PCr signal-to-noise ratio by 30%, no differences in 31 P results were observed between interleaved and 31 P MRS-only acquisitions. τPCr was unaffected by nOe. CONCLUSION The method shows good repeatability for both paradigms while simultaneously providing multiple dynamic data sets on a clinical scanner. The nOe effects were accounted for on a per-subject and per-visit basis using a short 31 P reference scan. This multiparametric approach has a multitude of applications for the study of oxygen utilization and ATP turnover in the muscle.
