    Abstract Hypobaric hypoxia (HH) leads to various adverse effects on skeletal muscles, including atrophy and reduced oxidative work capacity. However, the effects of HH on muscle fatigue resistance and myofiber remodeling are largely unexplored. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the impact of HH on slow-oxidative fibers and to evaluate the ameliorative potential of exercise preconditioning and nanocurcumin formulation on muscle anti-fatigue ability. C2C12 cells (murine myoblasts) were used to assess the effect of hypoxia (0.5%, 24 h) with and without the nanocurcumin formulation (NCF) on myofiber phenotypic conversion. To further validate this hypothesis, male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to a simulated HH (7620 m) for 7 days, along with NCF administration and/or exercise training. Both in vitro and in vivo studies revealed a significant reduction in slow-oxidative fibers (p < 0.01, 61% vs. normoxia control) under hypoxia. There was also a marked decrease in exhaustion time (p < 0.01, 65% vs. normoxia) in hypoxia control rats, indicating a reduced work capacity. Exercise preconditioning along with NCF supplementation significantly increased the slow-oxidative fiber proportion and exhaustion time while maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. These findings suggest that HH leads to an increased transition of slow-oxidative fibers to fast glycolytic fibers and increased muscular fatigue. Administration of NCF in combination with exercise preconditioning restored this myofiber remodeling and improved muscle anti-fatigue ability.

    Abstract Over the last twenty months, the attention of the world has been focusing on managing the unprecedented and devastating wave of COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2) and mitigating its impacts. Recent findings indicated that high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are leading cause of poor prognosis in severely ill COVID-19 patients. Presently, the multiple variants and highly contagious nature of virus makes challenge humongous. The shortage and vaccine hesitancy also prompted to develop antiviral therapeutic agents to manage this pandemic. Nanocurcumin has potential antiviral activities and also beneficial in post COVID inflammatory complications. We have developed nanocurcumin based formulation using pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) which protects cardio-pulmonary function and mitochondrial homeostasis in hypobaric hypoxia induced right ventricular hypertrophy in animal model and human ventricular cardiomyocytes. Nanocurcumin based formulation (NCF) with improved bioavailability, has proven several holistic therapeutic effects including myocardial protection, and prevents edema formation, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, maintaining metabolic and mitochondrial homeostasis under hypoxic condition. The post COVID-inflammatory syndrome also reported to cause impaired heart function, lung injuries and increased C-reactive protein level in severely ill patients. Thus, we speculate that NCF could be a new treatment option to manage post COVID-19 inflammatory syndrome.
