AIMS: Beneficial effects of aerobic exercise training are widely recognized. However, previously we discovered that the positive effects of exercise depend on the underlying cause of cardiac failure. Here we tested the hypothesis that endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) dependent regulation of the balance between nitric oxide and superoxide (O2•-) is critically involved in determining the effects of exercise. METHODS: Mice were exposed to 8 weeks of voluntary wheel running exercise training (EX) or sedentary housing (SED) immediately following myocardial infarction (MI), pressure overload from a transverse aortic constriction (TAC), or sham (SH) surgery. Subsequently, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was measured by echocardiography and Picrosirius Red staining was performed to measure collagen content. Additionally, total and NOS-dependent LV O2•- were measured using lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence without or with NOS inhibitor, L-NAME. eNOS uncoupling was evaluated by determining eNOS monomer dimer protein ratio and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) levels were measured through luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence. RESULTS: Cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis were ameliorated by exercise in MI but not in TAC mice (Table 1). MI and TAC both increased LV O2•- levels. Strikingly, EX diminished O2•- generation in MI, but exacerbated O2•- generation in TAC (Table 1). Furthermore, the EX-induced increase in O2•- levels in TAC were largely NOS-dependent. Accordingly, MI and TAC-induced eNOS uncoupling was normalized by EX in MI but aggravated in TAC mice (Table 1). Similarly, increased ONOO- levels following MI and TAC were diminished by EX in MI, but exacerbated by EX in TAC (Table 1). CONCLUSIONS: EX reduces eNOS-mediated cardiac oxidative stress in MI. In contrast, beneficial effects of EX are lacking in cardiac pressure-overload following TAC, due to EX-induced aggravation of ONOO- formation, eNOS uncoupling and concomitant oxidative stress.

Acute exercise increases myocardial tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury in male but not in female rat hearts, possibly due to a decreased heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) response in the female hearts. This study examined whether repetitive exercise training would increase Hsp70 and myocardial tolerance to I-R injury in female rat hearts. Adaptations in myocardial manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were also assessed. Ten-week old male (M) and female (F) Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 40 total) exercise-trained for 14 wk; the last 8 wk consisted of running 1 h at 30 m/min (2% incline), 5 days/wk. Following training, left ventricle mechanical function (LVMF) was monitored for 30 min of reperfusion following 30 min of global ischemia (Langendorff procedure). Myocardial Hsp70 content was not different in M and F control groups, while increases were observed in both trained groups (M greater than F; P < 0.05). Although MnSOD content did not differ between groups, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) levels were decreased in F, with no change in M, following training ( P < 0.05). Hearts from control F demonstrated a greater recuperation of all indices of LVMF following I-R compared with control M hearts ( P < 0.05). Hearts of trained M exhibited improved recovery of LVMF (left ventricular diastolic pressure, left ventrcular end-diastolic pressure, +dP/d t, −dP/d t) during reperfusion compared with control M hearts ( P < 0.05). In contrast, hearts of trained F did not show any change in recovery from I-R. Hence, exercise training is more beneficial to M than F in improving myocardial function following I-R injury.
