Abstract
Biochemical changes in the creatine kinase isoenzyme compositions in single muscle fibres of different types in rats were induced by endurance running training. Single muscle fibres were dissected from the soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles of Wistar-strain male rats trained on a motor-driven treadmill for 16 weeks. Each fibre was typed histochemically (SO, slow-twitch oxidative; FOG, fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic; FG, fast-twitch glycolytic), and the activities of total creatine kinase and its four isoenzymes (CK-MM, -MB, -BB, and mitochondrial creatine kinase) were measured. The endurance training did not affect the total creatine kinase activity, but resulted in significantly increased activities of CK-MB and CK-BB in SO and FOG fibres, and the mitochondrial enzyme activity in FOG and FG fibres. Endurance training induced biochemical changes in the isoenzyme compositions, specifically in FOG fibres. These results suggest that changes in creatine kinase isoenzymes with endurance training reflect changes in the energy metabolism in the different muscle fibres, supporting the hypothesis that the different isoenzymes play different roles in energy transduction.
