Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aging of rats results in slower activities of calcium transport by cardiac calcium adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase (COX). These enzyme activities are faster after exercise training of previously sedentary old rats. Our purpose was to determine whether the expression of the genes encoding SR calcium ATPase (SERCA2a) or COX is altered by exercise training. Old (24-mo-old) male Fischer 344 rats were assigned to SO (sedentary old) or EO (exercised old) groups and compared with younger (12-mo-old) sedentary rats (SM). EO rats were trained on a treadmill for 8-10 wk. SERCA2a and COX mRNAs were lower (P < 0.05) in SO compared with SM and EO, whereas glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and cardiac alpha-actin mRNAs were similar across groups. The immunoreactive protein contents of cardiac calcium ATPase, cytochrome c, sarcomeric actin, and GAPDH followed the changes, when observed, in mRNA contents. Thus pretranslational mechanisms may be modified in some genes during aging and exercise training of previously sedentary old rats.
