METHODS: Seven male participants were subjected on separate days to eccentric muscle contraction to cause EIMD or a no-exercise condition. After each session, the participants collected daily dried blood spots to measure thiol-oxidised albumin and returned to the laboratory every 2 days for the assessment of indirect markers of EIMD, namely maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), creatine kinase (CK), and myoglobin.
RESULTS: Eccentric exercise resulted in a significant decrease in MVC and increase in DOMS, CK, myoglobin, and thiol-oxidised albumin with the latter reaching above baseline level within 24-48 h post-exercise. All the markers of EIMD returned to baseline level within 6 days post-exercise, but not the level of thiol-oxidised albumin which remained elevated for 10 days after exercise. There was a moderate correlation between changes in thiol-oxidised albumin and DOMS, but no significant relationship between any other markers of muscle damage.
CONCLUSIONS: The levels of thiol-oxidised albumin increase in response to EIMD and remain elevated for several days post-exercise. The temporal pattern of change in the level of thiol-oxidised albumin suggests that this may be a useful biomarker of muscle repair post-EIMD.
方法:7名男性参与者在不同的日子里接受偏心肌肉收缩,导致EIMD或无运动状态。每次会议结束后,参与者每天收集干燥的血斑以测量硫醇氧化白蛋白,每2天返回实验室评估EIMD的间接标志物。即最大自愿收缩(MVC),延迟性肌肉酸痛(DOMS),肌酸激酶(CK),和肌红蛋白.
结果:偏心运动导致MVC显着下降,DOMS增加,CK,肌红蛋白,和硫醇氧化白蛋白,后者在运动后24-48小时内达到基线水平以上。EIMD的所有标志物在运动后6天内恢复到基线水平,而不是运动后10天保持升高的硫醇氧化白蛋白水平。硫醇氧化白蛋白和DOMS的变化之间存在中等相关性,但其他任何肌肉损伤标志物之间没有显著关系。
结论:硫醇氧化白蛋白水平在EIMD反应中增加,并在运动后几天保持升高。巯基氧化白蛋白水平变化的时间模式表明,这可能是EIMD后肌肉修复的有用生物标志物。
