Notes:
Abstract The activity of mitochondrial creatine kinase is found to increase in skeletal muscles of rats after ten days of running a treadmill. Over that short period, however, no significant increases occur either in the maximal rate of mitochondrial respiration or in the number of capillaries per skeletal muscle fiber and their density, nor are the early adaptive changes in muscle tissue accompanied by modifications in the resistive or metabolic compartments of the vascular bed, i.e. by improvements in the blood supply to muscle tissue.
