Exercise-induced expression of angiogenesis-related transcription and growth factors in human skeletal muscle
Abstract
mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) subunits HIF-1α and HIF-1β in human skeletal muscle was studied during endurance exercise at different degrees of oxygen delivery. Muscle biopsies were taken before and after 45 min of one-legged knee-extension exercise performed under conditions of nonrestricted or restricted blood flow (∼15–20% lower) at the same absolute workload. Exercise increased VEGF mRNA expression by 178% and HIF-1β by 340%, but not HIF-1α and FGF-2. No significant differences between the restricted and nonrestricted groups were observed. The exercise-induced increase in VEGF mRNA was correlated to the exercise changes in HIF-1α and HIF-1β mRNA. The changes in VEGF, HIF-1α, and HIF-1β mRNAs were correlated to the exercise-induced increase in femoral venous plasma lactate concentration. It is concluded that 1) VEGF but not FGF-2 gene expression is upregulated in human skeletal muscle by a single bout of dynamic exercise and that there is a graded response in VEGF mRNA expression related to the metabolic stress and 2) the increase in VEGF mRNA expression correlates to the changes in both HIF-1α and HIF-1β mRNA.

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.
