Abstract

Our aim was to characterize the changes in messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance, protein, and activity levels of the enzymatic antioxidants, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, and catalase by exercise training combined with L-arginine after myocardial infarction (MI). L-Arginine (1 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) and N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) were administered in drinking water for 8 wk. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to the following groups: sham-operated control (Sham); MI sedentary (Sed); MI exercise (Ex); MI sedentary + L-arginine (Sed + LA); MI exercise + L-arginine (Ex + LA); MI sedentary + L-NAME (Sed + L-NAME); and MI exercise + L-NAME (Ex + L-NAME). The glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and gp91(phox) mRNA levels were comparable among all the groups. The SOD mRNA level was significantly increased in the Ex group (5.43 +/- 0.87) compared with the Sed group (1.74 +/- 0.29), whereas this effect was pronouncedly down-regulated by the L-NAME intervention (2.51 +/- 1.17, P < 0.05). The protein levels of SOD in the Sed and Ex groups were both significantly decreased with the administration of L-NAME. The protein levels of catalase were significantly higher in the Ex and Ex + LA gr...Continue Reading
