Beta-adrenoceptor adenylate cyclase system adaptation to physical training in rat ventricular tissue.
The beta-adrenergic receptor adenylate cyclase system of ventricular tissue was evaluated in a group of rats submitted to a progressive 10-wk running program on a treadmill and compared with that in a group of rats maintained sedentary during the same period. Adequate training was confirmed by a 46% increase in the gastrocnemius isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in the trained group [1.50 +/- 0.04 vs. 1.03 +/- 0.06 (SE) pmol.g-1.min-1; P less than 0.01). Binding studies with [125I]iodocyanopindolol showed a 13% reduction in the density of beta-adrenergic receptors in trained rats (42.6 +/- 2.1 vs. 49.0 +/- 2.1 fmol/mg; P less than 0.05) without any significant modification in the dissociation constant. The amount of [125I]iodocyanopindolol bound to beta-adrenoceptors in the high-affinity state was reduced by 16.6% in trained rats (12.5 +/- 0.9 vs. 15.0 +/- 0.5 fmol/mg; P less than 0.05) without any significant changes for those in the low-affinity state, indicating a decrease in the coupling between the beta-adrenergic receptors and the guanine stimulatory binding protein. Furthermore, although the basal and sodium fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were similar in the two groups of rats, the response of adenylate cyclase maximally stimulated by 10(-5) M isoproterenol was reduced by 16% in trained rats (29.7 +/- 1.4 vs. 35.3 +/- 1.3 pmol.mg-1.min-1; P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
