To study changes in muscle energy state during prolonged exercise, especially in relation to fatigue, muscle biopsies were obtained from seven healthy males working until exhaustion on a cycle ergometer at 68% (63-74%) of their maximal oxygen uptake. Biopsies were taken at rest, after 15 and 45 min of exercise and at exhaustion, and analysed for ATP, ADP, AMP, inosine monophosphate (IMP) and hypoxanthine content by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and for creatine phosphate (CP), lactate and glycogen by enzymatic fluorometric techniques. Glycogen content at exhaustion was approximately 30% of the pre-exercise level. The CP content decreased steeply during the first 15 min of exercise (P less than 0.01) and continued to decrease during the rest of the exercise period (P less than 0.05). Pronounced increases in contents of IMP (64% P less than 0.001) and hypoxanthine (69%, P less than 0.05) were found when exhaustion was approaching. Furthermore, energy charge [EC; (ATP + 0.5 ADP)/(ATP + ADP + AMP)] was decreased at exhaustion (P less than 0.05). The increases in IMP and hypoxanthine which occurred when exhaustion was approaching during prolonged submaximal exercise together with the decrease in EC during this phase of exercise suggest a failure of the exercising skeletal muscle to regenerate ATP at exhaustion.
