Increased skeletal muscle capillarization enhances insulin sensitivity.
Increased skeletal muscle capillarization is associated with improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. However, a possible causal relationship has not previously been identified. Therefore, we investigated whether increased skeletal muscle capillarization increases insulin sensitivity. Skeletal muscle-specific angiogenesis was induced by adding the α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist pr...
متن کاملSimvastatin effects on skeletal muscle: relation to decreased mitochondrial function and glucose intolerance.
OBJECTIVES Glucose tolerance and skeletal muscle coenzyme Q(10) (Q(10)) content, mitochondrial density, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity were measured in simvastatin-treated patients (n = 10) and in well-matched control subjects (n = 9). BACKGROUND A prevalent side effect of statin therapy is muscle pain, and yet the basic mechanism behind it remains unknown. We h...
متن کاملMyD88 regulates physical inactivity-induced skeletal muscle inflammation, ceramide biosynthesis signaling, and glucose intolerance.
Physical inactivity in older adults is a risk factor for developing glucose intolerance and impaired skeletal muscle function. Elevated inflammation and ceramide biosynthesis have been implicated in metabolic disruption and are linked to Toll-like receptor (TLR)/myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) signaling. We hypothesize that a physical inactivity stimulus, capable of inducing...
متن کاملG(s)alpha deficiency in skeletal muscle leads to reduced muscle mass, fiber-type switching, and glucose intolerance without insulin resistance or deficiency.
The ubiquitously expressed G protein alpha-subunit G(s)alpha is required for receptor-stimulated intracellular cAMP responses and is an important regulator of energy and glucose metabolism. We have generated skeletal muscle-specific G(s)alpha-knockout (KO) mice (MGsKO) by mating G(s)alpha-floxed mice with muscle creatine kinase-cre transgenic mice. MGsKO mice had normal body weight and composit...
متن کاملArteriolar reactivity and capillarization in chronically stimulated rat limb skeletal muscle post-MI.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether electrical stimulation-induced increases in muscular activity could improve capillary supply and correct previously documented abnormal vasodilator and vasoconstrictor responses of arterioles in limb skeletal muscle post-myocardial infarction (MI). Extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle from rats with surgically induced MI ( approximately 30% of t...
