Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Regular exercise and physical training enhance physiological capacity and improve metabolic diseases. Skeletal muscles require peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) in the process of their adaptation to exercise owing to PGC-1α’s ability to regulate mitochondrial biogenesis, angiogenesis, and oxidative metabolism. Cyanidin-3-glucoside (Cy3G) is a natural polyphenol and a nutraceutical factor, which has several beneficial effects on human health. Here, the effect of Cy3G on exercise performance and the underlying mechanisms involved were investigated. ICR mice were given Cy3G (1 mg/kg, orally) everyday and made to perform weight-loaded swimming exercise for 15 days. The endurance of mice orally administered with Cy3G was improved, enabling them to swim longer (time) and while the levels of exercise-induced lactate and fatigue markers (urea nitrogen, creatinine and total ketone bodies) were reduced. Additionally, the expression of lactate metabolism-related genes (<jats:italic>lactate dehydrogenase B</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>monocarboxylate transporter 1</jats:italic>) in gastrocnemius and biceps femoris muscles was increased in response to Cy3G-induced PGC-1α upregulation. <jats:italic>In vitro</jats:italic>, using C2C12 myotubes, Cy3G-induced elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP levels increased <jats:italic>PGC-1α</jats:italic> expression via the Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase pathway. This study demonstrates that Cy3G enhances exercise performance by activating lactate metabolism through skeletal muscle PGC-1α upregulation.</jats:p>
