Alterations in myocardial signal transduction due to aging and chronic dynamic exercise

Abstract

Normal aging without disease leads to diminished chronotropic and inotropic responses to catecholamine stimulation, resulting in depressed cardiac function with stress. The purpose of this study was to determine molecular mechanisms for decrements in adrenergic responsiveness of the left ventricle (LV) due to aging and to study the effects of chronic dynamic exercise on signal transduction. We measured beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) density, adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity, and G-protein content and distribution in LV from 66 male Fischer 344 rats from three age groups that were either sedentary or treadmill trained (60 min/days, 5 days/wk, 10 wk at 75% of the maximal capacity). Final ages were 7 mo (young), 15 mo (middle-age), and 25 mo (old). There was no significant difference in beta-AR density among groups as a function of age or training. AC production of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) with the use of five pharmacological stimulations revealed that old sedentary myocardium had depressed basal, receptor-dependent, G-protein-dependent, and AC catalyst stimulation (30-43%) compared with hearts from young and middle-age sedentary rats. Training did not alter AC activity in either middle-age or old groups but d...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
