Presentation Transcript

  1. Exercise Induced Mitochondrial Biogenesis

  2. What is it? • Mitochondrial content is increased in the muscle due to the stress of physical activity • Greater volume of mitochondria per muscle fiber • Greater ability to synthesize ATP per gram of muscle • Improved endurance! • Preservation of glycogen • Lower production of H+ • Lower free AMP concentration

  3. Not quite sure – here are the best guesses: Metabolic disturbances Electrical transmissions via voltage-sensitive membrane proteins Ion fluxes (Ca2+) within the contracting muscles Mechanotransduction via the activation of integrin signaling How can exercise do that?

  4. Continued… • The contraction-induced signals (on previous slide) cause transcriptional activation of nuclear genes • This leads to alterations in mRNA stability • Increases protein import and mitochondrial DNA copy number • Leads to greater muscle mitochondrial content

  5. How does mitochondrial biogenesis affect TCA, Beta Oxidation, ETC, and OXPHOS? • Upregulates them! • More mitochondria --> increased oxidative capacity • Less need for glycolysis
