Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of resveratrol on slow-twitch muscle fiber expression in bovine myotubes. The results revealed that resveratrol enhanced slow Myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and suppressed fast MyHC protein expression, accompanied by increased MyHC I/IIa and decreased MyHC IIx/IIb mRNA levels in bovine myotubes (P < 0.05). Resveratrol also enhanced the activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, but reduced Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) activity (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the protein and gene expression of AMPK, SIRT1 and PGC-1α were upregulated by resveratrol (P < 0.05). Furthermore, PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292 could attenuate resveratrol-induced muscle fiber conversion from fast-twitch to slow-twitch. These results suggest that resveratrol might promote muscle fiber type transition from fast-twitch to slow-twitch through the AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis in bovine myotubes.
