Intramuscular inflammatory and resolving lipid profile responses to an acute bout of resistance exercise in men

In this study, we e xamined the bioactive lipid mediator profile of human skeletal muscle at rest and following acute resistance exercise. Twelve male subjects completed a single bout of maximal isokinetic unilateral knee extension exercise and muscle biopsies were taken from them.vastus lateralis before and at 2, 4, and 24  h of recovery. Muscle tissue lipid mediator profile was analyzed via liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS)‐based targeted lipidomics. At 2 h postexercise, there was an increased intramuscular abundance of cyclooxygenase (COX)‐derived thromboxanes (TXB2: 3.33 fold) and prostaglandins (PGE2: 2.52 fold and PGF2α: 1.77 fold). Resistance exercise also transiently increased muscle concentrations of lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway ‐derived leukotrienes (12‐Oxo LTB4: 1.49 fold and 20 ‐COOH LTB4: 2.91 fold), monohydroxy ‐eicosatetraenoic acids (5‐HETE: 2.66 fold, 12‐HETE: 2.83 fold, and 15‐HETE: 1.69 fold) and monohydroxy‐docosahexaenoic acids (4‐HDoHE: 1.69 fold, 7‐HDoHE: 1.58 fold and 14‐HDoHE: 2.35 fold). Furthermore, the abundance of CYP pathway‐derived epoxy‐ and dihydroxy‐eicosatrienoic acids was increased in 2 h postexercise biopsies (5,6‐EpETrE: 2.48 fold, 11,12‐DiHETrE: 1.66 fold and 14,15‐DiHETrE: 2.23 fold). These data reveal a range of bioactive lipid mediators as present within human skeletal muscle tissue and demonstrate that acute resistance exercise transiently sti mulates the local production of b...
