| Popis: | The effects of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) or growth hormone (GH) with and without exercise on predominantly slow muscles of hypophysectomized hindlimb-suspended (HS) rats were determined. HS resulted in a 21, 23, and 30% decrease in soleus, adductor longus, and vastus intermedius masses, respectively, compared with ambulatory rats. Compared with values in HS rats, IGF-I increased the vastus intermedius mass and GH or exercise alone increased both the soleus and vastus intermedius masses. There was a strong interactive effect between GH, but not IGF-I, and exercise in all three muscles of HS rats. The soleus fiber type distribution of HS rats was not affected by any treatment. HS resulted in a 24, 18 (P > 0.05), 32, and 20% (P > 0.05) decrease in the size of soleus fibers containing type I, IIa, I + IIa, and IIa + IIx myosin heavy chains, respectively, compared with ambulatory hypophysectomized rats. Hormone or exercise alone had no effect on fiber size in HS rats. However, all fiber sizes (except for type IIa + IIx in IGF-I with exercise rats) were larger in HS rats treated with GH or IGF-I and exercise than those in HS rats. These data indicate an interactive effect of both GH and IGF-I with exercise in maintaining fiber size of chronically non-weight-bearing predominantly slow muscles. Furthermore, the results suggest that the myosin heavy-chain phenotype in rats deficient in all pituitary factors is unresponsive to short-term administration of either GH or IGF-I or to exercise or HS. |
