Young rats maintained on an iron-deficient diet developed severe anemia and had large decreases in the levels of the iron-containing flavoproteins and cytochromes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in skeletal muscle. In contrast, the levels of a number of mitochondrial matrix marker enzymes, including citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, 3-ketoacid-CoA transferase, and aspartate aminotransferase, increased in red skeletal muscle but not in white muscle. Phosphocreatine concentration was decreased and inorganic phosphate concentration was increased in soleus muscle frozen in situ. We hypothesize that the increase in mitochondrial matrix enzymes reflects a stimulus to mitochondrial biogenesis in posture-maintaining and weight-bearing red muscle fibers in severely iron-deficient rats. It is our working hypothesis that this stimulus to mitochondrial biogenesis arises from mild activity of the red fibers and is due to the same perturbation in cellular homeostasis that is normally caused by vigorous exercise or hypoxia. In iron deficiency, the stimulus to mitochondrial biogenesis can induce an increase in only those enzymes not prevented from increasing by iron deficiency, resulting in formation of mitochondria of grossly abnormal composition.
