Résumé

Introduction. During ageing, limb immobilization induces general and delayed muscle atrophy during the rehabilitation period. Understanding the underlying mechanisms and limit this generalized muscle atrophy is then a major issue in elderlies. Objective. We investigated the impact of dietary supplementations on generalized and delayed muscle atrophy induced by immobilization and subsequent recovery in old-adult-rats. Methods. 185 old-adult-rats were subjected to unilateral hindlimb casting immobilization for 8 days (I0-I8) and allowed to recover for 10-40 days (R10, R20, R30, R40). Animals were fed during the recovery period a control diet (C) or the same diet supplemented with leucine (LEU), whey (WHEY) or high-protein diet (HIGH-PROT). Muscle mass, muscle protein breakdown (MPB) and protein synthesis (MPS) were measured in non-immobilized gastrocnemius muscles. Data were analyzed by ANOVA. Results. Muscle mass was unchanged in the non-immobilized limb from I0 to R20 but atrophied thereafter (-15.5%), traducing a general atrophy. MPB was unaltered in this limb but MPS became resistant to food intake compared to pair-fed non-immobilized-controls. In LEU group, gastrocnemius atrophied similarly despite a better stimulation of postprandial MPS (+20%). In the WHEY and HIGH-PROT groups, no atrophy was observed in the the non-immobilized-gastrocnemius throughout the experimental period (no difference at R40vsI0). Discussion/conclusion. LEU supplementation was able to stimulate MPS in the non-immobilized limb via the mTOR-signalling-pathway, but it remained inefficient to prevent the muscle atrophy in the non-immobilized limb. By contrast, WHEY or HIGH PROT diets were able to prevent atrophy of the non-immobilized limb by sustaining MPS during the entire rehabilitation.
