Maximal Exercise Capacity

The low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) is a dietary approach characterized by the intake of high amounts of fat, a balanced amount of protein, and low carbohydrates, which is insufficient for metabolic demands. Previous studies have shown that an LCKD alone may contribute to fatty acid oxidation capacity, along with endurance. In the present study, we combined a 10-week LCKD with an 8-week forced treadmill running program to determine whether training in conjunction with LCKD enhanced fatty acid oxidation capacity, as well as whether the maximal exercise capacity would be affected by an LCKD or training in a mice model. We found that the lipid pool and fatty acid oxidation capacity were both enhanced following the 10-week LCKD. Further, key fatty acid oxidation related genes were upregulated. In contrast, the 8-week training regimen had no effect on fatty acid and ketone body oxidation. Key genes involved in carbohydrate utilization were downregulated in the LCKD groups. However, the improved fatty acid oxidation capacity did not translate into an enhanced maximal exercise capacity. In summary, while favoring the fatty acid oxidation system, an LCKD, alone or combined with training, had no beneficial effects in our intensive exercise-evaluation model. Therefore, an LCKD may be promising to improve endurance in low- to moderate-intensity exercise, and may not be an optimal choice for those partaking in high-intensity exercise.

This study was designed to determine the changes in the heart that result from inhibition of long-chain fatty acid oxidation with 2-tetradecylglycidic acid (TDGA). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 64) were treated with TDGA (20 mg.kg-1.day-1) or a comparable volume of vehicle by gavage feeding for 7 or 21 days. In conscious rats TDGA produced no changes in heart rate, left ventricular systolic or end-diastolic pressures, left ventricular pressure development (dP/dt), or the time constant of left ventricular relaxation. Left ventricular developed pressure was not changed at 21 days. TDGA increased left ventricular weight, left ventricular weight-to-body weight ratio, and total heart weight-to-body weight ratio. Left ventricular endocardial and epicardial myocyte volumes were increased by 53 and 65%, respectively. Myocardial triglyceride content was increased threefold. Left ventricular chamber stiffness constants between end-diastolic pressures of 0 and 30 mmHg were increased, and left ventricular end-diastolic volumes at operating end-diastolic pressures were decreased at both 7 and 21 days. The myocardial stiffness constant was also increased at 7 and 21 days. Thus inhibition of long-chain fatty acid oxidation with TDGA increased left ventricular mass and altered left ventricular chamber and muscle stiffness without changing left ventricular relaxation or systolic function. We conclude that inhibition of long-chain fatty acid oxidation produced an unusual model of left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction characterized by abnormalities of passive-elastic properties but preserved relaxation.
