【 摘 要 】

Muscle loss at high altitude (HA) is attributable to energy deficit and a potential dysregulation of anabolic signaling. Exercise and protein ingestion can attenuate the effects of energy deficit on muscle at sea level (SL). Whether these effects are observed when energy deficit occurs at HA is unknown. To address this, muscle obtained from lowlanders (n = 8 males) at SL, acute HA (3 h, 4300 m), and chronic HA (21 d, -1766 kcal/d energy balance) before [baseline (Base)] and after 80 min of aerobic exercise followed by a 2-mile time trial [postexercise (Post)] and 3 h into recovery (Rec) after ingesting whey protein (25 g) were analyzed using standard molecular techniques. At SL, Post, and REC, p-mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR)(Ser2448), p-p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K)(Ser424/421), and p-ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6)(Ser235/236) were similar and higher (P < 0.05) than Base. At acute HA, Post p-mTOR(Ser2448) and Post and REC p-p70S6K(Ser424/421) were not different from Base and lower than SL (P < 0.05). At chronic HA, Post and Rec p-mTOR(Ser2448) and p-p70S6K(Ser424/421) were not different from Base and lower than SL, and, independent of time, p-rpS6(Ser235/236) was lower than SL (P < 0.05). Post proteasome activity was lower (P < 0.05) than Base and Rec, independent of phase. Our findings suggest that HA exposure induces muscle anabolic resistance that is exacerbated by energy deficit during acclimatization, with no change in proteolysis.Margolis, L. M., Carbone, J.
