Pharmacologic characterization of the Na+ ionophores in L6 myotubes.
We present a pharmacologic characterization of the Na+ ionophores present in L6 myotubes in vitro. Action potentials are abolished by replacement of the external Na+ by Tris. The amplitude of the action potential is generally resistant to high concentrations of tetrodotoxin (10(-5) M) and saxitoxin (10(-6 M), but the effect of these agents is highly variable. Veratridine (10(-4 M) consistently ...
متن کاملTroglitazone induces GLUT4 translocation in L6 myotubes.
A number of studies have demonstrated that insulin resistance in the skeletal muscle plays a pivotal role in the insulin resistance associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. A decrease in GLUT4 translocation from the intracellular pool to the plasma membranes in skeletal muscles has been implicated as a possible cause of insulin resistance. Herein, we examined the effects of an insulin-sensi...
متن کاملOleate protects against palmitate-induced insulin resistance in L6 myotubes.
Oleate has been shown to protect against palmitate-induced insulin resistance. The present study investigates mechanisms involved in the interaction between oleate and palmitate on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by L6 skeletal muscle cells. L6 myotubes were cultured for 6 h with palmitate or oleate alone, and combinations of palmitate with oleate, with and without phosphatidylinositol 3-kina...
متن کاملThe Activation of GLUT1, AMPKα and PPARγ by in L6 Myotubes GLUT1, AMPKα ve PPARγ’nın L6 miyotübülerinde tarafından aktivasyonu
AIM: ( , TC) has long been used in traditional medicine in South East Asia for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, it was aim to investigate the effect of water-ethanol extract of (WETC) on glucose transporter (GLUT1 and GLUT4), 5'AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPKα1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARγ) expression. METHODS: The activation of GLUT...
متن کاملRole of Ca(2+) fluctuations in L6 myotubes in the regulation of the hexokinase II gene.
Expression of the hexokinase (HK) II gene in skeletal muscle is upregulated by electrically stimulated muscle contraction and moderate-intensity exercise. However, the molecular mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. Alterations in intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis accompany contraction and regulate gene expression in contracting skeletal muscle. Therefore, as a first step in understanding t...
