Abstract
The percutaneous skeletal muscle biopsy has been shown to disrupt glycogenesis, possibly due changes in blood flow and thus nutrient delivery. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of the percutaneous skeletal muscle biopsy procedure on blood flow and tissue oxygen saturation. METHODS: Twelve recreationally active males (age: 25 ± 5 years; height: 178 ± 6 cm; weight: 86.8 ± 12.5 kg; body fat: 13.6 ± 6.6%) rested for 30 minutes before blood flow measurements were obtained from the common femoral artery of each leg using an ultrasound system (Terason t3000, Burlington, MA). This measurement was approximately 2-3 cm proximal to the artery’s bifurcation. Tissue oxygenation was collected from a skin surface site over the vastus lateralis, using near infrared spectroscopy (Inspectra StO2 Monitor; Hutchinson, MN). Following the initial measurement, a biopsy of the vastus lateralis was conducted followed by additional blood flow and tissue oxygenation measures. RESULTS: There was no effect of biopsy on femoral artery diameter (pre, 8.35 ± 0.45; post, 8.19 ± 0.42 mm; p = 0 .412), blood velocity (pre, 6.48 ± 0.66; post, 6.10 ± 0.66 cm · sec-1; p = 0.507), or flow volume (pre, 377 ± 62; post, 350 ± 64 ml · min-1; p = 0.415). Tissue oxygen saturation decreased from pre to post biopsy (pre, 69 ± 8 %: post, 61 ± 7 %; p = 0.0185). CONCLUSION: These data indicate that the skeletal muscle biopsy procedure does not impact blood flow, but does have an impact on tissue oxygen saturation.
