The purpose of the present study was to utilize the microdialysis technique in rat skeletal muscle to perfuse varying concentrations of AMP, ADP, and ATP into the interstitium to examine the effects that these adenine nucleotides have on the production of adenosine in the interstitial space. Interstitial adenosine production appears to be related to the type (ATP, ADP, or AMP) and concentration (2–60 μmol/L) of the adenine nucleotide perfused. Interstitial adenosine levels increased (P < 0.05) from baseline (0.18 ± 0.02 and 0.22 ± 0.02 μmol/L) to 0.23 ± 0.02 and 0.41 ± 0.05 μmol/L following 5 and 30 μmol/L AMP perfusion, respectively. Similarly, perfusion with 30 μmol/L ADP and 30, 40, and 60 μmol/L ATP resulted in an increase (P < 0.05) in interstitial adenosine concentration from baseline (0.25 ± 0.02, 0.26 ± 0.02, 0.19 ± 0.03, and 0.14 ± 0.02 μmol/L) to 0.30 ± 0.02, 0.32 ± 0.02, 0.36 ± 0.04, and 0.33 ± 0.04 μmol/L, respectively. Interestingly, the most prominent increase in interstitial adenosine production occurred during the perfusion of 60 μmol/L ATP (126% increase from baseline). These data strongly suggest that interstitial ATP may play a more potent role in stimulating interstitial adenosine production as compared with ADP or AMP. In addition, interstitial adenosine production can occur independent of muscle contraction (voluntary or involuntary) or hypoxia when adequate concentrations of adenine nucleotides are available.

Long-term intake of a ketogenic diet enhances utilization of ketone bodies, a particularly energy-efficient substrate, during exercise. However, physiological adaptation to an extremely low-carbohydrate diet has been shown to upregulate pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4, a negative regulator of glycolytic flux) content in skeletal muscle, resulting in impaired high-intensity exercise capacity. This study aimed to examine the effects of a long-term ketogenic diet containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) on endurance training-induced adaptations in ketolytic and glycolytic enzymes of rat skeletal muscle. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were placed on either a standard diet (CON), a long-chain triglyceride-containing ketogenic diet (LKD), or an MCT-containing ketogenic diet (MKD). Half the rats in each group performed a 2-h swimming exercise, 5 days a week, for 8 weeks. Endurance training significantly increased 3-oxoacid CoA transferase (OXCT, a ketolytic enzyme) protein content in epitrochlearis muscle tissue, and MKD intake additively enhanced endurance training–induced increases in OXCT protein content. LKD consumption substantially increased muscle PDK4 protein level. However, such PDK4 increases were not observed in the MKD-fed rats. In conclusion, long-term intake of ketogenic diets containing MCTs may additively enhance endurance training–induced increases in ketolytic capacity in skeletal muscle without exerting inhibitory effects on carbohydrate metabolism.
