Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The complexity of human DNA has been affected by aerobic metabolism, including endurance exercise and oxygen toxicity. Aerobic endurance exercise could play an important role in the evolution of home sapiens, oxygen was not important just for survival, but it was crucial to redox mediated adaptation. The metabolic challenge during physical exercise results in an elevated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are important modulators of muscle contraction, antioxidant protection, and oxidative damage repair, which, at moderate levels generate physiological responses. Several factors of mitochondrial biogenesis, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), mitogen-activated protein kinase, and SIRT1, are modulated by exercise-associated changes in the redox milieu. PGC-1α activation could result in decreased oxidative challenge, either by up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes and/or by an increased number of mitochondria that allow lower levels of respiratory activity for the same degree of ATP generation. Endogenous thiol antioxidants glutathione (GSH) and thioredoxin (TRX) are modulated with high oxygen consumption and ROS generation during physical exercise, controlling cellular function through redox-sensitive signaling and protein-protein interactions. Endurance exercise- related angiogenesis, up to a significant degree, is regulated by ROS-mediated activation of hypoxia- inducible factor 1α. Moreover, the exercise-associated ROS production could be important to DNA methylation and posttranslation modifications of histone residues, which create heritable adaptive conditions based on epigenetic features of chromosomes. Accumulating data indicate that exercise with moderate intensity has systemic and complex health promoting effects, which undoubtedly involve regulation of redox homeostasis and signaling.
