The purpose of the study was to verify the influence of several weeks of chronic low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES) on the metabolic profile and functional capacity of human skeletal muscle. Knee extensor muscles (KEM) of eight subjects were electrically stimulated at 8 Hz for 8 h/day and 6 days/wk. Vastus lateralis muscle samples were taken before, after 4 wk, and after 8 wk of LFES, and activities of anaerobic (creatine kinase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) and aerobic-oxidative (citrate synthase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, cytochrome-c oxidase) enzyme markers were determined. KEM dynamic performance was also assessed before, after 4 wk, and after 8 wk of LFES. Activity levels of anaerobic enzymes were not altered, whereas the activity levels of citrate synthase (29%),3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (22%), and cytochrome-c oxidase (25%) were significantly increased after 4 wk of LFES but were not further increased after 4 additional wk of LFES. KEM performance was also improved (P < 0.05) but leveled off after 4 wk of LFES. Although significant changes were observed, the results of the present study suggest that the muscle characteristics investigated in the current study have a limited capacity of adaptation in response to this form of chronic LFES.

1. Activities for the oxidation of palmitoyl-carnitine, of palmitoyl-CoA and of carnitine palmitoyltransferase were measured in mitochondria prepared from needle biopsy samples of human skeletal muscle. Results are presented for nine normal subjects and 18 patients in whom there was evidence of mitochondrial abnormality. 2. Palmitoylcarnitine and palmitoyl-CoA oxidation were measured spectrophotometrically by following the reduction of added cytochrome c in the presence of cyanide. 3. Because of large variations in the activities between subjects it was essential to express the three activities per unit of cytochrome c oxidase activity to demonstrate unambiguous specific alterations in the activities. 4. In most of the patients the order of the three activities was similar to that in the normal subjects. However, in five cases the activity for palmitoylcarnitine oxidation was less than 4% of the mean normal value. In two of these patients, the low activity could be accounted for by very low (<10% normal) activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT). In another two patients the activity of CPT was normal but that of palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase (a measure of β-oxidation) was very low.
