Abstract

The ubiquinone content was determined in the skeletal muscles and muscle mitochondria of rats after undergoing strenuous physical training for 2.5–3 months. The incorporation of the labeled precursor acetate-1-14C into ubiquinone and sterols by thin slices of skeletal muscles was investigated at the same time. An increase in the ubiquinone content and production of mitochondrial protein was observed in the muscles of the trained animals. Incorporation of the radioactive label into ubiquinone by thin muscle slices from trained rats was considerably increased, whereas its incorporation into sterols was unchanged.
