본 연구는 7주령의 S·D계 흰쥐를 이용하여 12주 동안의 사다리 오르기 저항성 운동 수행 후 가자미근과 비복근 내 GLUT-4 발현량 및 LDH 동위효소들의 변화를 측정하여 당 대사 및 젖산 기전에 대한 연구로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 12주간의 사다리 오르기 저항성 운동은 체중감소에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 가자미근 및 비복근 조직 GLUT-4 단백질 발현을 유의하게 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 가자미근 및 비복근 조직 LDHA B-type 동위효소의 발현을 유의하게 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 12주간의 저항성훈련은 체중의 감소와 골격근 내 GLUT-4의 증가 그리고 LDH A4 동위효소를 제외한 LDH B-type 동위효소의 증가와 같은 신체조성의 균형과 당대사능력 및 미토콘드리아의 기능 개선에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다. 추후 연구에서는 휴식시간이나 운동 강도의 차이와 근형태별에 따른 유?무산소적 저항훈련 프로그램의 효과에 따른 다양한 연구가 실시되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of climbing resistance training on GLUT-4 protein and LDH isozyme activities of the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles in rats. Each experimental group was randomly divided into a control group (n=6) and a resistance exercise (n=6) group. Sprague-Dawley rats were made to climb a 180 cm tower for 12 wk. Weight changes in the resistance exercise group were significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). GLUT-4 protein expression of the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the resistance exercise group than in the control group. There was no difference in soleus tissue LDHA4 isozyme activity between the groups. In the case of other LDH isozyme, when compared with the control group, the resistance exercise group showed a significantly higher activity (p<0.05). LDHA4 activity of gastrocnemius muscle tissue was not different between the groups. However, the activity of the resistance exercise group of all the other LDH isozymes was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). In summary, based on the results of this study, over 12 weeks of resistance training, the total body weight of the rats was reduced and the GLUT-4 activity in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles was increased. In addition, except for LDH A4 all of the other LDH isozymes activities were increased. These results suggest that climbing resistance training affects the balance of body composition, increases LDH B-type isoenzymes and glucose metabolism capacity, and improves mitochondrial function.
