Endurance exercise training led to an adaptive increase in the uniquinone content and cytochrome c reductase activity of red quadriceps and soleus muscles and adipose tissues, but not of cardiac or white quadriceps muscle. These findings are consistent with the well-known positive adaptation of skeletal muscle mitochondria to endurance training. However, there was no concomitant increase in the vitamin E content of tissues, which showed an increase in mitochondrial content. Since ubiquinone is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and the major pool of vitamin E is also associated with mitochondrial membranes, the results suggest that training causes a substantial decrease in vitamin E concentration in the proliferating muscle mitochondrial membranes, thus depleting muscle mitochondria of their major lipid antioxidant. Since vitamin E is the major cellular, lipid-soluble, chain-breaking antioxidant, these findings indicate increased free radical reactions in the tissues of exercising animals.
