We studied the effects of a 38-day endurance exercise
training program on leucine turnover and substrate metabolism during a
90-min exercise bout at 60% peak O2 consumption
(
O2 peak) in 6 males and 6 females. Subjects were studied at both the same absolute (ABS) and relative (REL) exercise intensities posttraining. Training resulted in a significant increase in whole body
O2 peak and skeletal
muscle citrate synthase (CS; P < 0.001), complex I-III
(P < 0.05), and total branched-chain 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase (BCOAD; P < 0.001) activities. Leucine oxidation increased
during exercise for the pretraining trial (PRE, P < 0.001);
however, there was no increase for either the ABS or REL posttraining
trial. Leucine oxidation was significantly lower for females at all
time points during rest and exercise (P < 0.01). The
percentage of BCOAD in the activated state was significantly increased
after exercise for both the PRE and REL exercise trials, with the
increase in PRE being greater (P < 0.001) compared with REL
(P < 0.05). Females oxidized proportionately more lipid and
less carbohydrate during exercise compared with males. In conclusion,
we found that 38 days of endurance exercise training significantly
attenuated both leucine oxidation and BCOAD activation during 90 min of
endurance exercise at 60%
O2 peak for both ABS
and REL exercise intensities. Furthermore, females oxidize
proportionately more lipid and less carbohydrate compared with males
during endurance exercise.
