RESUMO
Brown fat generates heat via the mitochondrial uncoupling protein UCP1, defending against hypothermia and obesity. Recent data suggest that there are two distinct types of brown fat: classical brown fat derived from a myf-5 cellular lineage and UCP1-positive cells that emerge in white fat from a non-myf-5 lineage. Here, we report the isolation of "beige" cells from murine white fat depots. Beige cells resemble white fat cells in having extremely low basal expression of UCP1, but, like classical brown fat, they respond to cyclic AMP stimulation with high UCP1 expression and respiration rates. Beige cells have a gene expression pattern distinct from either white or brown fat and are preferentially sensitive to the polypeptide hormone irisin. Finally, we provide evidence that previously identified brown fat deposits in adult humans are composed of beige adipocytes. These data provide a foundation for studying this mammalian cell type with therapeutic potential. PAPERCLIP:

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) play an important role in the differential capacity for excess energy storage between upper body abdominal (ABD) adipose tissue (AT) and lower body gluteofemoral (GF) AT. We cultured ADSCs from subcutaneous ABD AT and GF AT isolated from eight women with differential body fat distribution and performed single-cell RNA sequencing. Six populations of ADSCs were identified and segregated according to their anatomical origin. The three ADSC subpopulations in GF AT were characterized by strong cholesterol/fatty acid (FA) storage and proliferation signatures. The two ABD subpopulations, differentiated by higher expression of committed preadipocyte marker genes, were set apart by differential expression of extracellular matrix and ribosomal genes. The last population, identified in both depots, was similar to smooth muscle cells and when individually isolated and cultured in vitro they differentiated less than the other subpopulations. This work provides important insight into the use of ADSC as an in vitro model of adipogenesis and suggests that specific subpopulations of GF-ADSCs contribute to the more robust capacity for GF-AT to expand and grow compared with ABD-AT in women.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Identification of distinct subpopulations of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in upper body abdominal subcutaneous (ABD) and lower body gluteofemoral subcutaneous (GF) adipose tissue depots. In ABD-ADSCs, subpopulations are more committed to adipocyte lineage. GF-ADSC subpopulations are enriched for genes involved in lipids and cholesterol metabolism. Similar depot differences were found in stem cell population identified in freshly isolated stoma vascular fraction. The repertoire of ADSCs subpopulations was different in apple-shaped versus pear-shaped women.

Human skeletal muscle cell (HSkMC) models provide the opportunity to examine in vivo training-induced muscle-specific mitochondrial adaptations, additionally allowing for deeper interrogation into the effect of in vitro exercise models on myocellular mitochondrial quality and quantity. As such, this review will compare and contrast the effects of in vivo and in vitro models of exercise on mitochondrial adaptations in HSkMCs.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by muscle metabolic dysfunction that exercise can minimize, but some patients do not respond to an exercise intervention. Myokine secretion is intrinsically altered in patients with T2D, but the role of myokines in exercise resistance in this patient population has never been studied. We sought to determine if changes in myokine secretion were linked to the response to an exercise intervention in patients with T2D. The participants followed a 10-week aerobic exercise training intervention, and patients with T2D were grouped based on muscle mitochondrial function improvement (responders versus non-responders). We measured myokines in serum and cell-culture medium of myotubes derived from participants pre- and post-intervention and in response to an in vitro model of muscle contraction. We also quantified the expression of genes related to inflammation in the myotubes pre- and post-intervention. No significant differences were detected depending on T2D status or response to exercise in the biological markers measured, with the exception of modest differences in expression patterns for certain myokines (IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-15). Further investigation into the molecular mechanisms involving myokines may explain exercise resistance with T2D; however, the role in metabolic adaptations to exercise in T2D requires further investigation.

Insulin resistance and blunted mitochondrial capacity in skeletal muscle are often synonymous, however, this association remains controversial. The aim of this study was to perform an in-depth multifactorial comparison of skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity between individuals who were lean and active (Active, n = 9), individuals with obesity (Obese, n = 9), and individuals with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 22). Mitochondrial capacity was assessed by ex vivo mitochondrial respiration with fatty-acid and glycolytic-supported protocols adjusted for mitochondrial content (mtDNA and citrate synthase activity). Supercomplex assembly was measured by Blue Native (BN)-PAGE and immunoblot. Tricarboxylic (TCA) cycle intermediates were assessed with targeted metabolomics. Exploratory transcriptomics and DNA methylation analyses were performed to uncover molecular differences affecting mitochondrial function among the three groups. We reveal no discernable differences in skeletal muscle mitochondrial content, mitochondrial capacity, supercomplex assembly, TCA cycle intermediates, and mitochondrial molecular profiles between obese individuals with and without T2D that had comparable levels of confounding factors (body mass index, age, and aerobic capacity). We highlight that lean, active individuals have greater mitochondrial content, mitochondrial capacity, supercomplex assembly, and TCA cycle intermediates. These phenotypical changes are reflected at the level of DNA methylation and gene transcription. The collective observation of comparable muscle mitochondrial capacity in individuals with obesity and T2D (vs. individuals without T2D) underscores a dissociation from skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Clinical trial number: NCT01911104.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Whether impaired mitochondrial capacity contributes to skeletal muscle insulin resistance is debated. Our multifactorial analysis shows no differences in skeletal muscle mitochondrial content, mitochondrial capacity, and mitochondrial molecular profiles between obese individuals with and without T2D that had comparable levels of confounding factors (BMI, age, aerobic capacity). We highlight that lean, active individuals have enhanced skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity that is also reflected at the level of DNA methylation and gene transcription.

The impact of aerobic training on human skeletal muscle cell (HSkMC) mitochondrial metabolism is a significant research gap, critical to understanding the mechanisms by which exercise augments skeletal muscle metabolism. We therefore assessed mitochondrial content and capacity in fully differentiated CD56+ HSkMCs from lean active (LA) and sedentary individuals with obesity (OS) at baseline, as well as lean/overweight sedentary individuals (LOS) at baseline and following an 18-day aerobic training intervention. Participants had in vivo skeletal muscle PCr recovery rate by 31P-MRS (mitochondrial oxidative kinetics) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VÌo2max) assessed at baseline. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis were performed for the isolation of skeletal muscle stem cells. LOS individuals repeated all assessments posttraining. HSkMCs were evaluated for mitochondrial respiratory capacity by high-resolution respirometry. Data were normalized to two indices of mitochondrial content (CS activity and OXPHOS protein expression) and a marker of total cell count (quantity of DNA). LA individuals had significantly higher VÌo2max than OS and LOS-Pre training; however, no differences were observed in skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity, nor in carbohydrate- or fatty acid-supported HSkMC respiratory capacity. Aerobic training robustly increased in vivo skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity of LOS individuals, as well as carbohydrate-supported HSkMC respiratory capacity. Indices of mitochondrial content and total cell count were similar among the groups and did not change with aerobic training. Our findings demonstrate that bioenergetic changes induced with aerobic training in skeletal muscle in vivo are retained in HSkMCs in vitro without impacting mitochondrial content, suggesting that training improves intrinsic skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity.

BACKGROUND: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an important tissue for thermogenesis, making it a potential target to decrease the risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and recent studies have also identified BAT as an endocrine organ. Although BAT has been implicated to be protective in cardiovascular disease, to this point there are no studies that identify a direct role for BAT to mediate cardiac function. METHODS: To determine the role of BAT on cardiac function, we utilized a model of BAT transplantation. We then performed lipidomics and identified an increase in the lipokine 12,13-dihydroxy-9Z-octadecenoic acid (12,13-diHOME). We utilized a mouse model with sustained overexpression of 12,13-diHOME and investigated the role of 12,13-diHOME in a nitric oxide synthase type 1 deficient (NOS1-/-) mouse and in isolated cardiomyocytes to determine effects on function and respiration. We also investigated 12,13-diHOME in a cohort of human patients with heart disease. RESULTS: Here, we determined that transplantation of BAT (+BAT) improves cardiac function via the release of the lipokine 12,13-diHOME. Sustained overexpression of 12,13-diHOME using tissue nanotransfection negated the deleterious effects of a high-fat diet on cardiac function and remodeling, and acute injection of 12,13-diHOME increased cardiac hemodynamics via direct effects on the cardiomyocyte. Furthermore, incubation of cardiomyocytes with 12,13-diHOME increased mitochondrial respiration. The effects of 12,13-diHOME were absent in NOS1-/- mice and cardiomyocytes. We also provide the first evidence that 12,13-diHOME is decreased in human patients with heart disease. CONCLUSIONS: Our results identify an endocrine role for BAT to enhance cardiac function that is mediated by regulation of calcium cycling via 12,13-diHOME and NOS1.

Age-related declines in cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function are mitigated by regular endurance exercise in older adults. This may be due, in part, to changes in the transcriptional program of skeletal muscle following repeated bouts of exercise. However, the impact of chronic exercise training on the transcriptional response to an acute bout of endurance exercise has not been clearly determined. Here, we characterized baseline differences in muscle transcriptome and exercise-induced response in older adults who were active/endurance trained or sedentary. RNA-sequencing was performed on vastus lateralis biopsy specimens obtained before, immediately after, and 3 h following a bout of endurance exercise (40 min of cycling at 60%-70% of heart rate reserve). Using a recently developed bioinformatics approach, we found that transcript signatures related to type I myofibers, mitochondria, and endothelial cells were higher in active/endurance-trained adults and were associated with key phenotypic features including VÌo2peak, ATPmax, and muscle fiber proportion. Immune cell signatures were elevated in the sedentary group and linked to visceral and intermuscular adipose tissue mass. Following acute exercise, we observed distinct temporal transcriptional signatures that were largely similar among groups. Enrichment analysis revealed catabolic processes were uniquely enriched in the sedentary group at the 3-h postexercise timepoint. In summary, this study revealed key transcriptional signatures that distinguished active and sedentary adults, which were associated with difference in oxidative capacity and depot-specific adiposity. The acute response signatures were consistent with beneficial effects of endurance exercise to improve muscle health in older adults irrespective of exercise history and adiposity.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Muscle transcript signatures associated with oxidative capacity and immune cells underlie important phenotypic and clinical characteristics of older adults who are endurance trained or sedentary. Despite divergent phenotypes, the temporal transcriptional signatures in response to an acute bout of endurance exercise were largely similar among groups. These data provide new insight into the transcriptional programs of aging muscle and the beneficial effects of endurance exercise to promote healthy aging in older adults.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to assess metabolic flexibility (MetFlex) in participants with type 2 diabetes within the physiologically relevant conditions of sleeping, the post-absorptive (fasting) state and during meals using 24 h whole-room indirect calorimetry (WRIC) and to determine the impact of aerobic training on these novel features of MetFlex. METHODS: Normal-weight, active healthy individuals (active; n = 9), obese individuals without type 2 diabetes (ND; n = 9) and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes (n = 23) completed baseline metabolic assessments. The type 2 diabetes group underwent a 10 week supervised aerobic training intervention and repeated the metabolic assessments. MetFlex was assessed by indirect calorimetry in response to insulin infusion and during a 24 h period in a whole-room indirect calorimeter. Indices of MetFlex evaluated by WRIC included mean RQ and RQ kinetic responses after ingesting a standard high-carbohydrate breakfast (RQBF) and sleep RQ (RQsleep). Muscle mitochondrial energetics were assessed in the vastus lateralis muscle in vivo and ex vivo using 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution respirometry, respectively. RESULTS: The three groups had significantly different RQsleep values (active 0.823 ± 0.04, ND 0.860 ± 0.01, type 2 diabetes 0.842 ± 0.03; p < 0.05). The active group had significantly faster RQBF and more stable RQsleep responses than the ND and type 2 diabetes groups, as demonstrated by steeper and flatter slopes, respectively. Following the training intervention, the type 2 diabetes group displayed significantly increased RQBF slope. Several indices of RQ kinetics had significant associations with in vivo and ex vivo muscle mitochondrial capacities. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Twenty-four hour WRIC revealed that physiological RQ responses exemplify differences in MetFlex across a spectrum of metabolic health and correlated with skeletal muscle mitochondrial energetics. Defects in certain features of MetFlex were improved with aerobic training, emphasising the need to assess multiple aspects of MetFlex and disentangle insulin resistance from MetFlex in type 2 diabetes.

The effects of exercise training on the skeletal muscle (SKM) lipidome and mitochondrial function have not been thoroughly explored in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesize that 10 wk of supervised endurance training improves SKM mitochondrial function and insulin sensitivity that are related to alterations in lipid signatures within SKM of T2D (males n = 8). We employed integrated multi-omics data analyses including ex vivo lipidomics (MS/MS-shotgun) and transcriptomics (RNA-Seq). From biopsies of SKM, tissue and primary myotubes mitochondrial respiration were quantified by high-resolution respirometry. We also performed hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps and blood draws before and after the training. The lipidomics analysis revealed that endurance training (>95% compliance) increased monolysocardiolipin by 68.2% (P ≤ 0.03), a putative marker of mitochondrial remodeling, and reduced total sphingomyelin by 44.8% (P ≤ 0.05) and phosphatidylserine by 39.7% (P ≤ 0.04) and tended to reduce ceramide lipid content by 19.8%. Endurance training also improved intrinsic mitochondrial respiration in SKM of T2D without alterations in mitochondrial DNA copy number or cardiolipin content. RNA-Seq revealed 71 transcripts in SKM of T2D that were differentially regulated. Insulin sensitivity was unaffected, and HbA1c levels moderately increased by 7.3% despite an improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness (VÌo2peak) following the training intervention. In summary, endurance training improves intrinsic and cell-autonomous SKM mitochondrial function and modifies lipid composition in men with T2D independently of alterations in insulin sensitivity and glycemic control.

There is evidence from human twin and family studies as well as mouse and rat selection experiments that there are considerable interindividual differences in the response of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and other cardiometabolic traits to a given exercise programme dose. We developed this consensus statement on exercise response variability following a symposium dedicated to this topic. There is strong evidence from both animal and human studies that exercise training doses lead to variable responses. A genetic component contributes to exercise training response variability.In this consensus statement, we (1) briefly review the literature on exercise response variability and the various sources of variations in CRF response to an exercise programme, (2) introduce the key research designs and corresponding statistical models with an emphasis on randomised controlled designs with or without multiple pretests and post-tests, crossover designs and repeated measures designs, (3) discuss advantages and disadvantages of multiple methods of categorising exercise response levels-a topic that is of particular interest for personalised exercise medicine and (4) outline approaches that may identify determinants and modifiers of CRF exercise response. We also summarise gaps in knowledge and recommend future research to better understand exercise response variability.

Exercise training reduces intrahepatic lipid (IHL) content in people with elevated liver fat content. It is unclear, however, whether exercise training reduces IHL content in people with normal liver fat content. Here, we measured the effect of exercise training on IHL content in people with and people without nonalcohol fatty liver. We further measured changes in insulin sensitivity and hepatic energy metabolism. Eleven males with nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and 11 body mass index-matched individuals without nonalcoholic fatty liver (CON) completed a 12-wk supervised exercise training program. IHL content (proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy), maximal oxidative capacity (VÌo2max, spiroergometry), total muscle strength, body composition, insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp), hepatic ATP-to-total phosphorus ratio, and the hepatic phosphomonoester-to-phosphodiester (PME/PDE) ratio (phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy) were determined. IHL content reduced with exercise training ( P = 0.014) in the whole study population. The relative reduction in IHL content was comparable in NAFL (-34.5 ± 54.0%) and CON (-28.3 ± 60.1%) individuals ( P = 0.800). VÌo2max ( P < 0.001), total muscle strength ( P < 0.001), and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity ( P = 0.004) increased, whereas adipose tissue ( P = 0.246) and hepatic ( P = 0.086) insulin sensitivity did not increase significantly. Hepatic ATP-to-total phosphorus ratio ( P = 0.987) and PME/PDE ratio ( P = 0.792) did not change. Changes in IHL content correlated with changes in body weight ( r = 0.451, P = 0.035) and changes in hepatic PME/PDE ratio ( r = 0.569, P = 0.019). In conclusion, exercise training reduced intrahepatic lipid content in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver and in people with normal intrahepatic lipid content, and the percent reduction in intrahepatic lipid content was similar in both groups.

The overall beneficial effects of exercise are well studied, but why some people do not respond favourably to exercise is less understood. The National Institutes of Health Common Fund has recently launched the large-scale discovery project 'Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity in Humans' to examine the physiological and molecular (i.e. genetic, epigenetic, lipidomic, metabolomic, proteomic, etc.) responses to exercise training. A nationwide, multicentre clinical trial such as this one also provides a unique opportunity to robustly investigate the non-response to exercise in thousands of individuals that have undergone supervised aerobic- and resistance-based exercise training interventions. The term 'non-responder' is used here to address the lack of a response (to an exercise intervention) in an outcome specified a priori. Cardiorespiratory fitness ([Formula: see text]) as an exercise response variable was recently reviewed; thus, this review focuses on metabolic aspects of the non-response to exercise training. Integrated -omics platforms are discussed as an approach to disentangle the complicated relationships between endogenous and exogenous factors that drive the lack of a response to exercise in some individuals. Harnessing the power of combined -omics platforms with deep clinical phenotyping of human study participants will advance the field of exercise metabolism and shift the paradigm, allowing exercise interventions to be targeted at those most likely to benefit and identifying novel approaches to treat those who do not.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Dissipating energy via mitochondrial uncoupling has been suggested to contribute to enhanced insulin sensitivity. We hypothesised that skeletal muscle mitochondria of endurance-trained athletes have increased sensitivity for fatty acid (FA)-induced uncoupling, which is driven by the mitochondrial protein adenine nucleotide translocase 1 (ANT1). METHODS: Capacity for FA-induced uncoupling was measured in endurance-trained male athletes (T) and sedentary young men (UT) in an observational study and also in isolated skeletal muscle mitochondria from Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and C2C12 myotubes following small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing of ANT1. Thus, fuelled by glutamate/succinate (fibres) or pyruvate (mitochondria and myotubes) and in the presence of oligomycin to block ATP synthesis, increasing levels of oleate (fibres) or palmitate (mitochondria and myotubes) were automatically titrated while respiration was monitored. Insulin sensitivity was measured by hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp in humans and via insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in myotubes. RESULTS: Skeletal muscle from the T group displayed increased sensitivity to FA-induced uncoupling (p = 0.011) compared with muscle from the UT group, and this was associated with elevated insulin sensitivity (p = 0.034). ANT1 expression was increased in T (p = 0.013). Mitochondria from ZDF rats displayed decreased sensitivity for FA-induced uncoupling (p = 0.008). This difference disappeared in the presence of the adenine nucleotide translocator inhibitor carboxyatractyloside. Partial knockdown of ANT1 in C2C12 myotubes decreased sensitivity to the FA-induced uncoupling (p = 0.008) and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (p = 0.025) compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Increased sensitivity to FA-induced uncoupling is associated with enhanced insulin sensitivity and is affected by ANT1 activity in skeletal muscle. FA-induced mitochondrial uncoupling may help to preserve insulin sensitivity in the face of a high supply of FAs. TRIAL REGISTRATION: www.trialregister.nl NTR2002.

Understanding the factors that contribute to exercise response variation is the first step in achieving the goal of developing personalized exercise prescriptions. This review discusses the key molecular and other mechanistic factors, both extrinsic and intrinsic, that influence exercise responses and health outcomes. Extrinsic characteristics include the timing and dose of exercise, circadian rhythms, sleep habits, dietary interactions, and medication use, whereas intrinsic factors such as sex, age, hormonal status, race/ethnicity, and genetics are also integral. The molecular transducers of exercise (i.e., genomic/epigenomic, proteomic/post-translational, transcriptomic, metabolic/metabolomic, and lipidomic elements) are considered with respect to variability in physiological and health outcomes. Finally, this review highlights the current challenges that impede our ability to develop effective personalized exercise prescriptions. The Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) aims to fill significant gaps in the understanding of exercise response variability, yet further investigations are needed to address additional health outcomes across all populations.

Observational studies in preclinical models demonstrate age-related declines in circadian functions. We hypothesized that age would be associated with declines in function of cell-autonomous circadian clocks in human tissue. Accordingly, we cultured adipose progenitor cells (APCs) from previously collected white-adipose tissue biopsies from abdominal subcutaneous depots of young (Age: 23.4 ± 2.1 yrs) vs. older female participants (Age: 70.6 ± 5.9 yrs). Using an in vitro model, we compared rhythmic gene expression profiles of core clock components, as an indicator of circadian oscillatory function. We observed consistent circadian rhythmicity of core clock components in young and older-APCs. Expression analysis showed increased levels of some components in older-APCs (CLOCK, CRY1, NR1D1) vs. young. We also investigated resveratrol (RSV), a well-known longevity-enhancing effector, for its effects on rhythmic clock gene expression profiles. We found that RSV resulted in gained rhythmicity of some components (CLOCK and CRY), loss of rhythmicity in others (PER2, CRY2), and altered some rhythmic parameters (NR1D1 and NR1D2), consistent in young and older-APCs. The observation of detectable circadian rhythmicity retained in vitro suggests that the oscillatory function of the cell-autonomous core clock in APCs is preserved at this stage of the aging process. RSV impacts core clock gene expression in APCs, implicating its potential as a therapeutic agent for longevity by targeting the core clock.

Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is a relatively understudied adipose depot located between muscle fibers. IMAT content increases with age and BMI and is associated with metabolic and muscle degenerative diseases; however, an understanding of the biological properties of IMAT and its interplay with the surrounding muscle fibers is severely lacking. In recent years, single-cell and nuclei RNA sequencing have provided us with cell type-specific atlases of several human tissues. However, the cellular composition of human IMAT remains largely unexplored due to the inherent challenges of its accessibility from biopsy collection in humans. In addition to the limited amount of tissue collected, the processing of human IMAT is complicated due to its proximity to skeletal muscle tissue and fascia. The lipid-laden nature of the adipocytes makes it incompatible with single-cell isolation. Hence, single nuclei RNA sequencing is optimal for obtaining high-dimensional transcriptomics at single-cell resolution and provides the potential to uncover the biology of this depot, including the exact cellular composition of IMAT. Here, we present a detailed protocol for nuclei isolation and library preparation of frozen human IMAT for single nuclei RNA sequencing. This protocol allows for the profiling of thousands of nuclei using a droplet-based approach, thus providing the capacity to detect rare and low-abundant cell types.

Biopsies of muscle and adipose tissue (AT) are useful tools to gain insights into the aging processes in these tissues. However, they are invasive procedures and their risk/benefit profile in older adults can be altered by sarcopenia, frailty, poor healing, and multimorbidity. Their success rates, safety, and tolerability in a geriatric population have not been reported in detail. Investigators in the Study of Muscle, Mobility, and Aging (SOMMA) performed biopsies of muscle and AT in older adults and prospectively collected data on biopsy success rates, safety, and tolerability. We report here the methods and outcomes of these two procedures. In total, 861 participants (aged 70-94) underwent percutaneous biopsies of the Vastus lateralis muscle with a Bergstrom needle. A subset (n = 241) also underwent percutaneous biopsies of the abdominal subcutaneous AT with the tumescent liposuction technique. Success rate was assessed by the percentage of biopsies yielding adequate specimens for analyses; tolerability by pain scores; and safety by frequency of adverse events. All data were prospectively collected. The overall muscle biopsy success rate was 97.1% and was modestly lower in women. The AT biopsy success rate was 95.9% and slightly lower in men. Minimal or no pain was reported in 68% of muscle biopsies and in 83% of AT biopsies. Adverse events occurred in 2.67% of muscle biopsies and 4.15% of AT biopsies. None was serious. In older adults, percutaneous muscle biopsies and abdominal subcutaneous AT biopsies have an excellent safety profile, often achieve adequate tissue yields for analyses, and are well tolerated.

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the overall and sex-specific relationships between the presence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and muscle composition, power, and energetics in older adults. METHODS: Male and female patients (n = 655, mean ± SD age 76.1 ± 4.9 years; 57% female) enrolled in the Study of Muscle, Mobility, and Aging completed standing knee radiographs and knee pain assessments. Participants were divided into three groups using Kellgren-Lawrence grade (KLG) of KOA severity (0-1, 2, or 3-4). Outcome measures included whole-body muscle mass, thigh fat-free muscle (FFM) volume and muscle fat infiltration (MFI), leg power, specific power (power normalized to muscle volume), and muscle mitochondrial energetics. RESULTS: Overall, the presence and severity of KOA is associated with greater MFI, lower leg power and specific power, and reduced oxidative phosphorylation (P trend < 0.036). Sex-specific analysis revealed reduced energetics only in female patients with KOA (P trend < 0.007) compared to female patients without KOA. In models adjusted for age, sex, race, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug administration, site or technician, physical activity, height, and participants with abdominal adiposity with KLG 3 to 4 had greater MFI (mean 0.008%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.004%-0.011%) and lower leg power (mean -51.56 W, 95% CI -74.03 to -29.10 W) and specific power (mean -5.38 W/L, 95% CI -7.31 to -3.45 W/L) than those with KLG 0 to 1. No interactions were found between pain and KLG status. Among those with KOA, MFI and oxidative phosphorylation were associated with thigh FFM volume, leg power, and specific power. CONCLUSION: Muscle health is associated with the presence and severity of KOA and differs by sex. Although muscle composition and power are lower in both male and female patients with KOA, regardless of pain status, mitochondrial energetics is reduced only in female patients.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The geroscience hypothesis posits that aging biological processes contribute to many age-related deficits, including the accumulation of multiple chronic diseases. Though only one facet of mitochondrial function, declines in muscle mitochondrial bioenergetic capacities may contribute to this increased susceptibility to multimorbidity. METHODS: The Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA) assessed ex vivo muscle mitochondrial energetics in 764 older adults (mean ageâ =â 76.4, 56.5% women, and 85.9% non-Hispanic White) by high-resolution respirometry of permeabilized muscle fibers. We estimated the proportional odds ratio (POR [95% CI]) for the likelihood of greater multimorbidity (4 levels: 0 conditions, Nâ =â 332; 1 condition, Nâ =â 299; 2 conditions, Nâ =â 98; or 3+ conditions, Nâ =â 35) from an index of 11 conditions, per SD decrement in muscle mitochondrial energetic parameters. Distribution of conditions allowed for testing the associations of maximal muscle energetics with some individual conditions. RESULTS: Lower oxidative phosphorylation supported by fatty acids and/or complex I- and II-linked carbohydrates (eg, Max OXPHOSCI+CII) was associated with a greater multimorbidity index score (PORâ =â 1.32 [1.13, 1.54]) and separately with diabetes mellitus (ORâ =â 1.62 [1.26, 2.09]), depressive symptoms (ORâ =â 1.45 [1.04, 2.00]) and possibly chronic kidney disease (ORâ =â 1.57 [0.98, 2.52]) but not significantly with other conditions (eg, cardiac arrhythmia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). CONCLUSIONS: Lower muscle mitochondrial bioenergetic capacities were associated with a worse composite multimorbidity index score. Our results suggest that decrements in muscle mitochondrial energetics may contribute to a greater global burden of disease and are more strongly related to some conditions than others.
