We examined the regulation of
glycogen phosphorylase (Phos) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) in white
muscle of rainbow trout during a continuous bout of high-intensity
exercise that led to exhaustion in 52 s. The first 10 s of
exercise were supported by creatine phosphate hydrolysis and glycolytic
flux from an elevated glycogenolytic flux and yielded a total ATP
turnover of 3.7 µmol · g wet
tissue
1 · s
1. The high glycolytic
flux was achieved by a large transformation of Phos into its active
form. Exercise performed from 10 s to exhaustion was at a lower
ATP turnover rate (0.5 to 1.2 µmol · g wet
tissue
1 · s
1) and therefore at a
lower power output. The lower ATP turnover was supported primarily by
glycolysis and was reduced because of posttransformational inhibition
of Phos by glucose 6-phosphate accumulation. During exercise, there was
a gradual activation of PDH, which was fully transformed into its
active form by 30 s of exercise. Oxidative phosphorylation, from
PDH activation, only contributed 2% to the total ATP turnover, and
there was no significant activation of lipid oxidation. The time course
of PDH activation was closely associated with an increase in estimated mitochondrial redox (NAD+-to-NADH concentration ratio),
suggesting that O2 was not limiting during high-intensity
exercise. Thus anaerobiosis may not be responsible for lactate
production in trout white muscle during high-intensity exercise.
