Abstract

CONTEXT: We recently demonstrated that 28-d bed rest in healthy volunteers results in a moderate loss of lean leg mass and strength. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to quantify changes in muscle protein kinetics, body composition, and strength during a clinical bed rest model reflecting both physical inactivity and the hormonal stress response to injury or illness. DESIGN: Muscle protein kinetics were calculated during a primed, continuous infusion (0.08 micromol/kg.min) of 13C6-phenylalanine on d 1 and 28 of bed rest. SETTING: The setting for this study was the General Clinical Research Center at the University of Texas Medical Branch. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were healthy male volunteers (n = 6, 28 +/- 2 yr, 84 +/- 4 kg, 178 +/- 3 cm). INTERVENTION: During bed rest, hydrocortisone sodium succinate was administered iv (d 1 and 28) and orally (d 2-27) to reproduce plasma cortisol concentrations consistent with trauma or illness (approximately 22 microg/dl). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We hypothesized that inactivity and hypercortisolemia would reduce lean muscle mass, leg extension strength, and muscle protein synthesis. RESULTS: Volunteers experienced a 28.4 +/- 4.4% loss of leg extension strength (P = 0.012) and a 3-fold greater loss of lean leg mass (1.4 +/- 0.1 kg) (P = 0.004) compared with our previous bed rest-only model. Net protein catabolism was primarily due to a reduction in muscle protein synthesis [fractional synthesis rate, 0.081 +/- 0.004 (d 1) vs. 0.054 +/- 0.007%/h (d 28); P = 0.023]. There was no change in muscle protein breakdown. CONCLUSION: Prolonged inactivity and hypercortisolemia represents a persistent catabolic stimulus that exacerbates strength and lean muscle loss via a chronic reduction in muscle protein synthesis.

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.
