Creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme adaptations in stressed human skeletal muscle of marathon runners

F. S. Apple, M. A. Rogers, D. C. Casal, W. M. Sherman and J. L. Ivy

The creatine kinase (CK) isoenzyme composition was determined in serial gastrocnemius muscle biopsies obtained from 12 male marathon runners. The mean muscle CK-MB composition significantly increased after chronic exercise (training) from 5.3% (pretraining) to 7.7% (premarathon) as well as after acute exercise (postmarathon) to 10.5% of the total CK activity (P less than 0.05). However, no significant differences in total CK activities were detected. Additionally, mitochondrial CK and CK-BB isoenzymes were present in muscle homogenates. A significant correlation was observed in the increase in mean serum total CK (3,322 U/l) and CK-MB (174 U/l) activities 24 h after the race (r = 0.98, P less than 0.05). These results show that gastrocnemius muscle adapts to long-distance training and racing with increased CK-MB activities and imply that skeletal muscle is the major source of elevated serum CK-MB activities in marathon runners.
