High-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to significantly raise muscle mitochondrial enzyme activity and endurance performance. We recently demonstrated that long-term HFD impairs contractile force and shift to oxidative fiber composition in fast-twitch muscle fibers. However, the effects of long-term HFD on the muscle function (ie, contractile force and fatigue resistance) of slow-twitch dominant muscles have not yet been elucidated. Isolated slow-twitch soleus (SOL) from male C57BL/6J mice was fed a HFD (60% kcal: fat) for 12 weeks. Muscle contractile force were measured under resting conditions and during fatigue induced by repeated tetanus (100 Hz, 50 contraction, 2 s interval). No differences in muscle twitch and tetanic force were evident between HFD and control, whereas fatigue resistance elevated for the entire end-stage period in HFD (relative force for the initial; CONT, 26.6±1.6 vs HFD, 37.6±1.6%, P< 0.05). SOL muscle weights and cross-sectional area were unchanged even in HFD compared with the control (P> 0.05). SOL muscles of HFD fed mice showed increased activities of succinate dehydrogenase, and expression of triggers of mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC-1α and COX IV). Accordingly, mitochondrial fusion index (Mfn2-to-Drp1 ratio) was significantly increased in HFD compared to control (+ 76±4% vs control, P< 0.05). These findings indicate that long-term HFD induces elevated muscle fatigue resistance in slow-twitch dominant muscle fiber. The latter may be associated with elevated quantity and/or quality of mitochondria.
