Abstract

Age-related changes in mitochondrial H2O2 release (MHR) could be responsible for an increase in oxidative stress in skeletal muscle and participate in the development of sarcopenia. We compared MHR in vastus lateralis biopsies obtained from young (23.5+/-2.0 year, n=6) and elderly (67.3+/-1.5 year, n=6) healthy sedentary men. Isolated mitochondria were incubated in the presence of glutamate/malate/succinate, with or without rotenone. Muscle fat oxidative capacity, citrate synthase, complex II, complex III, and cytochrome c oxidase activities were also measured. In parallel, we analyzed in gastrocnemius of young male Wistar rats (n=6), the impact of lidocaine (local anesthetic used in humans) on mitochondrial respiration and MHR. In humans, muscle oxidative capacity was preserved with age but muscle MHR was markedly enhanced in elderly subjects compared to young adults (+175%, P<0.05). Rotenone abolished this increase, demonstrating that it was due to a free radical release during reverse electron transfer from complex II towards complex I. Lidocaine can interfere with MHR measurements (intra-muscular injection in rats) but it can be avoided by minimizing contact with muscle (small multiple subcutaneous injections in humans). Physiologic consequences of the observed increase in muscle MHR with aging remain to be determined.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Oxidative stress is consistently detected in aged skeletal muscle and is considered to contribute to ageing-related decreases in muscle mass and function.

    “Oxidative stress has been consistently detected in aged skeletal muscle and is considered to contribute to ageing‐related decreases in muscle mass and function (Yan & Sohal, 1998; Capel et al. 2005; Yarian et al. 2005; Chabi et al. 2008; Sohal & Orr, 2012; Sinha‐Hikim et al. 2013; Umanskaya et al. 2014).”
  • Correlative evidence between increased levels of 8-oxo-dG and age-related deletions in mtDNA from humans, mice, rats and houseflies has been reported.

    “Correlative evidence between increased levels of 8-oxo-dG and age-related deletions in mtDNA from humans (Capel et al., 2005; Hayakawa et al., 1992; Hayakawa et al., 1991), mice (Vermulst et al., 2007), rats (Sawada and Carlson, 1987) and houseflies (Sohal and Sohal, 1991) has been reported.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
