Overview
Brief Summary
Obesity leads to a vicious circle that increases intramuscular fat, insulin resistance, promotes muscular dysfunction resulting in increased muscle fat accumulation. The study of muscle function and intramyocellular lipids is insufficient for obesity. Particularly, the study of mechanisms in muscle function and intramyocellular lipids is few nationally and internationally.
Detailed Description
This study is prospective study. The goal of this study is 1. To examine the distribution and contractile properties (cross-sectional area, maximal force, specific force, maximal shortening velocity) of single muscle fiber sex/Myosin heavy chain (MHC) type-related differences, by extracting a single muscle fiber from the vastus lateralis in young men and women. 2. To examine the effects of intramyocellular lipids on physical activity ability, muscle dysfunction, and metabolic disorders in relation to aging and obesity. 3. To examine the effects of intramyocellular lipids on physical activity ability, muscular dysfunction, and metabolic disorders after 12 weeks resistance exercise intervention.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Single muscle fiber maximal force (Po)
Time Frame: Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention
Change from baseline Po to 12 weeks after initial assessment. Chemically skinned vastus lateralis muscle fiber Po (mN) is measured by slack test procedure. after measurement, Po is analyzed to compare the change after intervention from baseline.
Total droplet area
Time Frame: Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention
Change from baseline total droplet area to 12 weeks after initial assessment. Total droplet area is determined by Oil-red-O staining. After staining, the total area (µm2) is analyzed to compare the change after intervention from baseline.
Number of lipid droplets
Time Frame: Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention
Change from baseline number of lipid droplets to 12 weeks after initial assessment. Number of lipid droplets determined by Oil-red-O staining. After staining, number of lipid droplets is analyzed to compare the change after intervention from baseline.
Single muscle fiber specific force (SF)
Time Frame: Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention
Change from baseline SF to 12 weeks after initial assessment. Chemically skinned vastus lateralis muscle fiber SF (kN/m2) is Po (kN) normalized by cross-sectional area (m2). SF is analyzed to compare the change after intervention from baseline.
Single muscle fiber MHC type distribution
Time Frame: Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention
Change from baseline fiber type distribution to 12 weeks after initial assessment. The MHC composition of single fibers was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). MHC type distribution is analyzed to compare the change after intervention from baseline.
Single muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA)
Time Frame: Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention
Change from baseline CSA to 12 weeks after initial assessment. Chemically skinned vastus lateralis muscle fiber CSA (µm2) is measured by 3 dimensional microscopy. after analysis, CSA is compared the change after intervention from baseline.
Single muscle fiber maximal shortening velocity (Vo)
Time Frame: Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention
Change from baseline Vo to 12 weeks after initial assessment. Chemically skinned vastus lateralis muscle fiber Vo (FL/s) is measured by slack test procedure. The time required to take up the imposed slack was measured from the onset of the length step to the beginning of the tension redevelopment . For each amplitude of length, the fiber was reextended while relaxed to minimize nonuniformity of sarcomere length. A straight line was presented to a plot of length vs. time, using least-squares regression, and the slope of the line divided by the segment length was recorded as Vo for that fiber. Vo is analyzed to compare the change after intervention from baseline.
Secondary Outcomes
- Hand grip strength(Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention)
- Isokinetic knee extension strength(Before intervention / after 12weeks intervention)
