ABSTRACT
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the kinetics of lactate and lactate dehydrogenase B (LDH-B) protein levels as well as the maximum effort capacity of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) with experimental acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: thirty-two SHRs were divided into (n=8/group): S (sham), SE (sham+exercise), I (AMI), and IE (AMI+exercise). A maximum exercise test (treadmill) was evaluated before AMI or sham surgery. Echocardiography was performed 48h after the surgery. Lactacidemia was assessed at rest and during an intense exercise bout (48h after echocardiography). A two-way ANOVA followed by the post-hoc (Bonferroni) test was used, p<0.05. Results: In the end, the heart was removed for analysis of LDH-B. AMI resulted in lower cardiac output (S vs I: ∆51.3%, p<0.001), ejection fraction (S vs I: ∆60.5%, p<0.001) and shortening fraction (S vs I: ∆72.4%, p<0.001). The IE showed a reduction in exercise capacity when compared with pre-AMI values (1.50±0.1 vs 1.38±0.2 km/h; p=0.030) but not when compared with SE (1.41±0.3 vs 1.38±0.2 km/h; p=0.208). During the exhaustion exercise session, IE group showed lower lactacidemia at 12 min (∆9.7%, p=0.042) and 18 min (∆8.3%, p=0.038). No differences were observed in the protein level of LDH-B among the groups (p=0.573). However, when the AMI factor was considered alone, LDH-B expression was lower (sham vs AMI rats, p=0.040). Conclusion: LDH-B protein levels in cardiac tissue appear to be associated with AMI only. Furthermore, AMI induced a reduction in exercise capacity but did not affect lactacidemia during the intense exercise bout.(AU)
ABSTRACT
O estudo avaliou, na intensidade de 100% da velocidade crítica (VC), o comportamento de concentração de lactato sanguíneo ([LA]), esforço percebido (EP), frequência cardíaca (FC), concentrações plasmáticas de triptofano [TRP], de prolactina ([PRL]) e de ácidos graxos livres ([AGL]). Catorze nadadores realizaram dois protocolos distintos: 1) repetições de 200 e 400 m, em máxima intensidade (V200 e V400) para a determinação da VC; 2) série VC (repetições de 400 m), com intervalos de 40 s. Os principais resultados foram: (1) [TRP] e [AGL] não apresentaram diferenças entre repouso e exaustão (p > 0,05); (2) aumento da [PRL], da [LA], da FC e do EP (p < 0,05) ao longo da série VC. Assim o aumento da [PRL] pode indicar manifestação de fadiga central na intensidade correspondente à VC.
The study assessed, at the intensity of 100% of the critical speed (CS), the behavior of blood lactate concentration ([La]), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR), plasma concentrations of tryptophan [TRP] of prolactin ([PRL]) and free fatty acids ([FFA]). Fourteen swimmers performed two protocols: 1) trials of 200 and 400 m at maximum intensity (V200 and V400) for the CS, 2) CS series (trials of 400 m), and rest intervals of 40 s. The main results were: (1) [TRP] and [FFA] did not differ between rest and exhaustion (p> 0.05), (2) increased [PRL], the [La], HR and RPE (p <0.05) throughout the series CS. Thus the increase in [PRL] may indicate manifestation of central fatigue in intensity corresponding to the CS.
Este estudio evaluó, en la intensidad del 100% de la velocidad crítica (CV), el comportamiento de la concentración de lactato en la sangre ([LA]), esfuerzo percibido (PE), frecuencia cardíaca (FC), concentración plasmática de triptófano [TRP], prolactina ([PRL]) y de ácidos grasos libres ([AGL]). Catorce nadadores realizaron dos protocolos: 1) repeticiones de 200 y 400 m en máxima intensidad (V200 y V400) para la determinación de la CV, 2) serie VC (repeticiones de 400 m), con intervalos de 40 s. Los principales resultados fueron: (1) [TRP] y [FFA] no fueran diferentes entre el descanso y el agotamiento (p> 0,05), (2) mayores [PRL], [LA], FC y EP (p <0,05) a lo largo de la serie VC. Por lo tanto, el aumento de [PRL] pude indicar manifestación de fatiga central en la intensidad correspondiente a la VC.
