Abstract

In this cross-sectional study, we examined biopsies from the vastus lateralis muscle of 13 predialytic uremic men (mean age 46 ± 8 years). Their average glomerular filtration rate was 14 ± 7 ml/min x 1.73 m2 and their maximal exercise capacity, measured by standardized exercise test on a bicycle ergometer, was 184 ± 45 W (94% of the expected norm). The proportion of type I fibers (type I%) in the uremic group was similar to that of the reference group (42 ± 11 vs. 41 ± 8% NS). The proportion of type IIA fibers (type IIA%) in the uremic group was higher than in the reference group (44±10 compared to 35±9%, p2, NS). Type IIA and type I IB fiber areas tended to be smaller than those of the reference group (type IIA fiber area:... (More)

Citrate synthase activity was 0.48 ± 0.08 μkat/g in the uremic group and 0.50 ± 0.08 μkat/g in the reference group, NS. Phosphofructokinase activity was 1.2 ± 0.5 μkat/g in the uremic group and 1.1 ± 0.3 μkat/g in the reference group, NS. Maximal exercise capacity showed a positive correlation to type 1% (r=0.71, p
