Effect of acute exercise on citrate synthase activity in untrained and trained human skeletal muscle

Maximal citrate synthase activity (CS) is routinely used as a marker of aerobic capacity and mitochondrial density in skeletal muscle. However, reported CS has been notoriously variable, even with similar experimental protocols and sampling from the same muscles. Exercise training has resulted in increases in CS ranging from 0 to 100%. Previously, it has been reported that acute exercise may significantly affect CS. To investigate the hypothesis that the large variation in CS that occurs with training is influenced by alterations during the exercise itself, we studied CS in human vastus lateralis both in the rested and acutely exercised state while trained and untrained (n = 6). Tissues obtained from four biopsies (untrained rested, untrained acutely exercised, trained rested, and trained acutely exercised) were analyzed spectrophotometrically for maximal CS. Exercise training measured in a rested state resulted in an 18.2% increase in CS (12.3 ± 0.3 to 14.5 ± 0.3 µmol · min-1 · g tissue-1, P <=  0.05). However, even greater increases were recorded 1 h after acute exercise: 49.4% in the untrained state (12.3 ± 0.3 to 18.3 ± 0.5 µmol · min-1 · g tissue-1, P <=  0.05) and 50.8% in the trained state (14.5 ± 0.3 to 21.8 ± 0.4 µmol · min-1 · g tissue-1, P <=  0.05). Ultrastructural analysis, by electron microscopy, supported an effect of acute exercise with the finding of numerous swollen mitochondria 1 h after exercise that may result in greater access to the CS itself in the CS assay. In conclusion, although unexplained, the increased CS with acute exercise can clearly confound training responses and artificially elevate CS values. Therefore, the timing of muscle sampling relative to the last exercise session is critical when measuring CS and offers an explanation for the large variation in CS previously reported.
