The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of eight weeks high fat intake and regular exercise in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue for Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress in rats. This experiment involved 32 subjects (sprague-dawley rats) divided into four groups as follows: chow group (Chow, n = 8), chow and exercise group (Chow + EX, n = 8), high fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia group (HF, n = 8), and HF and exercise group (HF + EX, n = 8). As a result, there were significant decrease in body weight and abdominal fat, and blood lipid level was significantly improved by exercise for eight weeks (p < .05). There were variables changed about the skeletal muscle and ER stress in GRP78, XBP-1, ATF4, CHOP and JNK mRNA. There increased in mRNA factor by exercise, especially GRP78, and ATF4 mRNA were significantly increased in exercise (p < .05). However, there were increased in adipose tissue by exercise and there were significantly decreased in mRNA factor by high fat diet (p < .05). Consequently, this study suggests that the consistent exercise was more improved of obesity factor, such as dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, as well as body weight or abdominal fat. The response of ER stress in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle were more sensitive in exercise than high fat diet feed.

Objective: Uncoupling protein 3 gene (UCP3) is a candidate gene associated with the meat quality of pigs. The aim of this study was to explore the regulation mechanism of UCP3 expression and provide a theoretical basis for the research of the function of porcine UCP3 gene in meat quality. Methods: Bisulfite sequencing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) were used to analyze the methylation of UCP3 5′-flanking region and UCP3 mRNA expression in the adipose tissue or skeletal muscle of three pig breeds at different ages (1, 90, 210-day-old Putian Black pig; 90-day-old Duroc; and 90-day-old Dupu). Results: Results showed that two cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) islands are present in the promoter region of porcine UCP3 gene. The second CpG island located in the core promoter region contained 9 CpG sites. The methylation level of CpG island 2 was lower in the adipose tissue and skeletal muscle of 90-day-old Putian Black pigs compared with 1-day-old and 210-day-old Putian Black pigs, and the difference also existed in the skeletal muscle among the three 90-day-old pig breeds. Furthermore, the obvious changing difference of UCP3 mRNA expression was observed in the skeletal muscle of different groups. However, the difference of methylation status and expression level of UCP3 gene was not significant in the adipose tissue. Conclusion: Our data indicate that UCP3 mRNA expression level was associated with the methylation status of UCP3 promoter in the skeletal muscle of pigs.

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of PPAR-α, -β/δ, -γ, PGC-1α, GLUT-4 and p-AMPK-α₂ protein in the skeletal muscle of diabetic induced-rats by endurance training combined with rosiglitazone. The expression of PPAR-α, -β/δ, -γ, PGC-1α, GLUT-4 and p-AMPK-α₂ protein in red and white gastrocnemius by western blotting. The body weight was higher in diabetic induced-rats compared to the normal rats and after the treatment of exercise combined with rosiglitazone was significantly reduced in the all group. The levels of blood glucose was higher in diabetic induced-rats compared to the normal rats and after the treatment of exercise combined with rosiglitazone was significantly reduced in the all group. The expression of PPAR-α, -γ, PGC-1α in skeletal muscle of diabetic induced-rats were increased all groups and increased significantly in the group with exercise combined with rosiglitazone. The expression of GLUT-4 and p-AMPK-α₂ protein in the skeletal muscle of diabetic induced-rats were increased all groups and increased significantly in the group with exercise combined with rosiglitazoneI. These results suggest that exercise training and rosiglitazone may act as complementary therapies for the treatment of insulin rasistance.

The purpose of this study were to investigate the effect of fasting and vitamin B6 repletion on tissue concentration of pyridoxal 5-phosphate and urinary excreteion of 4-pyridoxic acid in vitamin B6 deficient rats. Sixty six rats(6 per group) were fed either a vitamin B6 deficient diet (-B6) or a control diet (+B6) for 6 weeks and then rats were repleted with +B6 diet for 2 weeks. Rats were fasted for 1 and 3 days and for 3 days after repletion. Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) concentration in plasma, liver, skeletal muscle, and heart muscle and urinary 4-pyridoxic acid (4-PA) excretion were compared. Fasting resulted in a significant increase in PLP concentration in the plasma, liver and heart muscle of rats fed the -B6 diet. Skeletal muscle PLP concentration was significantly decreased in +B6 rats but not in -B6 rats. Following vitamin B6 repletion, PLP concentration in the plasma, liver and heart muscle in previously -B6 rats was similar to the respective concentration in +B6 rats while PLP concentration in the skeletal muscle of previously -B6 rats increased, but it was not reached to that of +B6 rats. At day 1 and 2 of the fast, urinary 4-PT excretion increased in both +B6 and -B6 rats although there was no supply of vitamin B6 due to fasting. These results suggest that vitami B6 is redistributed as PLP when there is a caloric deficit and PLP is supplied by an endogenous source, possibly PLP bound to skeletal muscle glycogen phosphorylase.

배경: 전기적인 자극에 의하여 골격근의 피로현상이 극복됨으로써 골격근을 심장보조장치에 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 인공심장이나 심실보조기구는 에너지원의 전원장치가 크고 거추장스러운 단점이 있어 아직 해결해야될 문제이다. 반면 골격근을 이용한 심실보조장치는 에너지원으로 환자 자신의 골격근 수축력을 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있어 이의 임상응용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 8예의 광배근을 이용하여 골격근 심실의 모형을 만들었다. 물이 담긴 라텍스 주머니를 골격근이 한바퀴 반 감싸도록 고안하였고 골격근의 수축압력은 연결된 관을 통하여 변환기에 기록되도록 하였다. 전극은 흉배신경 주위에 설치한 후 Itrel 7420 박동기에 연결하였다. 프로그래머로 박동기를 조절하였으며 3.0Volt, cyclic burst, 0.31초 on time, 6.0초 off time의 자극을 주었다. 라텍스 주머니 내에 액체의 양을 25cc 씩 증가시키면서 전부하의 변화에 따른 골격근 심실의 박출량과 압력 및 수축력을 측정하였다. 결과: 골격근 심실의 전부하가 0인 경우 일회박출량은 76.3ml 이고, 전부하가 점차 증가함에 따라 일회박출량이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 전부하가 75cc 이상이 되면 일회박출량은 70ml 이하로 감소하는 양상을 볼 수 있었다. 압력을 측정한 결과도 전부하가 75cc 이하인 경우 정상의 혈압과 비슷한 107mmHg 이상의 혈압을 보이고 있으나 전부하가 100cc 이상 증가하는 경우 혈압이 100mmHg 이하로 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 최대의 골격근 수축력은 50cc의 전부하에서 16.6 W/kg의 힘을 분출하였다. 결론: 골격근 심실은 전부하의 변화에 따라 정상 심장보다도 강한 박출량과 압력의 변화를 관찰할 수 있었으며 임상 응용의 가능성을 볼 수 있었다.

연령에 따른 내당능의 감소 발생여부를 Sprague-Dawley종 흰쥐 수컷을 실험동물로 하여 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 연령에 따른 몸무게 변화는 1개월에서 2개월 사이에는 급격한 증가를 보였으며 2개월에서 4개월까지는 완만한 증가를 그 후 8개월까지는 미미하였다. 절식상태에서 혈당량(mg/dl)은 성장기군에서 $92{\pm}8.9$였으며 성숙기군에서는 $106{\pm}13.6$으로 성장기군에 비해 높았으며 인슐린 농도 또한 성숙기군에서 높았다. 체중 100mg당 180mg의 당을 부하한 내당능 검사에서도 성숙기군에서는 성장기군에 비해 당내성의 감소현상을 나타내었다. 당부하 검사시 동시에 측정한 혈장 인슐린 농도는 첫 30분에는 성장기군에서 높았으나, 120분에는 성숙기군에서 높은 값을 나타내었다. Soleus근의 당 섭취능은 성숙기군에서 성장기군보다 낮았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 인슐린 첨가에 의한 당 섭취능의 변화양상은 성숙기군과 성장기군 사이에 특별한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다.

본 연구는 에너지 섭취 급원에 따라 골격근육량과 에너지 섭취량 간의 연관성이 달라지는지 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구는 2008 ~ 2010년도 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 30세 이상 한국 성인 7,922명을 대상으로 각 식품의 에너지섭취비율을 기반으로 식사패턴을 분류하고 각 식사패턴 군집 내에서 대상자들의 골격근육량과 에너지 섭취량 간의 연관성을 분석하였다. 대상자의 22가지 식품군의 에너지 섭취량을 기준으로 군집분석을 실시한 결과 남성과 여성 모두에서 '밀가루와 유지류 (Flour, Animal fat)', '흰 쌀 (White rice)', '건강혼합식 (Healthy mixed diet)' 3가지 식사패턴을 도출하였다. 그 중 '흰 쌀' 식사패턴에서 남성 (p < 0.0001)과 여성 (p < 0.0195) 모두 에너지 섭취량과 골격근육량의 연관성이 있었으며, 나머지 식사패턴에서는 근육량과 에너지 섭취량 간의 관련성이 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과에서 30대 이상 한국 성인들의 골격근육량의 변화와 에너지 섭취량 간에는 유의한 양적 연관성이 있으나 대상자가 주로 섭취하는 식사 형태에 따라 에너지 섭취와 골격근육량의 연관성이 다른 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과에 근거하여, 골격근육량과 연관된 에너지 섭취량의 변화 [14]는 쌀밥 위주의 식사를 하는 한국 성인에 특이적인 결과임을 추정할 수 있다. 이는 에너지 섭취량의 증가 없이도 군집에 속한 식품의 영양소 균형이 골격근육량 유지에 도움을 주는 다른 식사패턴 (예, 건강혼합식)과는 달리 쌀밥위주의 식사가 전형적인 한국인의 경우 전체적인 식사량의 확보도 골격근육 유지에 중요함을 제시하는 결과이며 쌀밥 위주의 식사를 하는 대상자들의 체중감량식단이나 근감소증 비율이 상대적으로 높은 노인들의 식사 지침에 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Meat comes from the skeletal muscles of farm animals, such as pigs, chickens, and cows. Skeletal muscles are composed of many muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are categorized into three types, fiber type I, IIA, and IIB, based on their contractile speed and metabolic properties. Different muscle fiber types have different biochemical, physiological, and biophysical characteristics. Especially, the characteristics of muscle fiber type I and IIB are opposite to each other. Muscle fiber type I has a relatively strong oxidative metabolic trait and a higher content of lipids. In contrast to fiber type I, muscle fiber type IIB has a strong glycolytic metabolic trait and a relatively lower content of lipids and a higher content of glycogen. Muscle fiber type IIA has intermediate properties between fiber type I and IIB. Thus, muscles with different fiber type compositions exhibit different ante- and post-mortem muscle characteristics. In particular, the different metabolic traits of muscles due to the different compositions of the fiber types strongly affect the biochemical and physiological processes during the conversion of muscle to meat and subsequently influence the quality of the meat. Therefore, understating muscle metabolism and muscle fiber characteristics is very important when discussing the traits of meat quality. This review is an overview on basic muscle metabolism, muscle fiber characteristics, and their influence on meat quality and finally provides a comprehensive understanding about the fundamental traits of muscles and meat quality.

Conditions related to body composition and aging, such as osteopenic obesity, sarcopenia/ sarcopenic obesity, and the newly termed osteosarcopenic obesity(triad of bone, muscle and adipose tissue impairment), are beginning to gain recognition. Currently, it has begun to attract the attention of scholars from all over the world, however, for this disease, it still needs a more clear understanding and perception. Therefore, this article considered the osteoporosis, muscle depression, and obesity, these diseases as a gate to study the relationship among muscle, bone, and fat. In addition, in the aging process, the formation of IGF-cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen is sensitive. These hormones can not only absorb muscle protein metabolism, but also affect alienation. The decrease in IGF-cortisol in the elderly resulted in increased visceral fat, decreased muscle mass and bone mineral density, and then affected decreased skeletal muscle atrophy and decreased quality. The reduction of skeletal muscle quality and strength and increase body fat affected the adipose tissue to produce inflammatory cytokines, thereby reduced skeletal muscle, promoted cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in chronic diseases. Almost all chronic inflammatory diseases were associated with bone, muscle and fat. These mechanisms were complex and interrelated. Inflammation reduces bone formation, increases fat and reduces muscle mass. And thus not only had a significant impact on the motor system, but also made the incidence increase of fracture, osteoporosis, fragile syndrome, fall, osteomalacia and other bone disease. This article aimed to start from the interaction between the muscles and bones of the elderly, extended to obesity, muscle deficiency, osteoporosis and other diseases, finally, from a nutritional point of view, to discuss how to treat osteoporosis obesity.
