Skeletal muscle metabolism is unaffected by DCA infusion and hyperoxia after onset of intense aerobic exercise
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigated whether hyperoxic breathing (100% O(2)) or increasing oxidative substrate supply [dichloroacetate (DCA) infusion] would increase oxidative phosphorylation and reduce the reliance on substrate phosphorylation at the onset of high-intensity aerobic exercise. Eight male subjects cycled at 90% maximal O(2) uptake (VO(2 max)) for 90 s in three randomized conditions: 1) normoxic breathing and saline infusion over 1 h immediately before exercise (CON), 2) normoxic breathing and saline infusion with DCA (100 mg/kg body wt), and 3) hyperoxic breathing for 20 min at rest and during exercise and saline infusion (HYP). Muscle biopsies from the vastus lateralis were sampled at rest and after 30 and 90 s of exercise. DCA infusion increased pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activation above CON and HYP (3.10 +/- 0.23, 0.56 +/- 0.08, 0.69 +/- 0.05 mmol x kg wet muscle(-1) x min(-1), respectively) and significantly increased both acetyl-CoA and acetylcarnitine (11.0 +/- 0.7, 2.0 +/- 0.5, 2.2 +/- 0.5 mmol/kg dry muscle, respectively) at rest. However, DCA and HYP did not alter phosphocreatine degradation and lactate accumulation and, therefore, the reliance on substrate phosphorylation during 30 s (CON, 51.2 +/- 5.4; DCA, 56.5 +/- 7.1; HYP, 69.5 +/- 6.3 mmol ATP/kg dry muscle) and 90 s of exercise (CON, 90.6 +/- 9.5; DCA, 107.2 +/- 13.0; HYP, 101.2 +/- 15.2 mmol ATP/kg dry muscle). These data suggest that the rate of oxidative phosphorylation at the onset of exercise at 90% VO(2 max) is not limited by oxygen availability to the active muscle or by substrate availability (metabolic inertia) at the level of PDH in aerobically trained subjects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
