Abstract:
:In many small animals there are distinct differences in fiber-type composition among limb muscles, and these differences typically correspond to marked disparities in the oxidative capacities. However, whether there are similar differences in the oxidative capacity among leg muscles in humans is less clear. The purpose of this study was to compare the rate of phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery, a functional in vivo marker of oxidative capacity, in the lateral and medial gastrocnemius, soleus, and the anterior compartment of the leg (primarily the tibialis anterior) of humans. Subjects performed plantar flexion and dorsiflexion gated exercise protocols consisting of 70 sets of three rapid dynamic contractions (<2.86 s) at 20 s intervals (total: 23.3 min). Starting after the sixth set of contractions, (31)P 2-D CSI (8 x 8 matrix, 14-16 cm FOV, 3 cm slice, TR 2.86 s) were acquired via a linear transmit/receive surface coil using a GE 3T Excite System. The CSI data were zero-filled (32 x 32) and a single FID was produced for each time point in the lateral and medial gastrocnemius, soleus, and anterior compartment. The time constant for PCr recovery was calculated from tau = -Deltat/ln[D/(D + Q)], where Q is the percentage change in PCr due to contraction during the steady-state portion of the protocol, D the additional drop in PCr from rest, and Deltat is the interval between contractions. The tau of PCr recovery was longer (p < 0.05) in the anterior compartment (32 +/- 3 s) than in the lateral (23 +/- 2 s) and medial gastrocnemius muscles (24 +/- 3 s) and the soleus (22 +/- 3 s) muscles. These findings suggest that the oxidative capacity is lower in the anterior compartment than in the triceps surae muscles and is consistent with the notion that fiber-type phenotypes vary among the leg muscles of humans.
