Women Have Higher Protein Content of β-Oxidation Enzymes in Skeletal Muscle than Men
It is well recognized that compared with men, women have better ultra-endurance capacity, oxidize more fat during endurance exercise, and are more resistant to fat oxidation defects i.e. diet-induced insulin resistance. Several groups have shown that the mRNA and protein transcribed and translated from genes related to transport of fatty acids into the muscle are greater in women than men; howe...
متن کاملThe KATP channel Kir6.2 subunit content is higher in glycolytic than oxidative skeletal muscle fibers.
It has long been suggested that in skeletal muscle, the ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (K(ATP)) channel is important in protecting energy levels and that abolishing its activity causes fiber damage and severely impairs function. The responses to a lack of K(ATP) channel activity vary between muscles and fibers, with the severity of the impairment being the highest in the most glycolytic muscle fibe...
متن کاملGreater basal skeletal muscle AMPKα phosphorylation in men than in women: Associations with anaerobic performance.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the association of gender, fibre type composition, and anaerobic performance with the basal skeletal muscle signalling cascades regulating muscle phenotype. DESIGN Muscle biopsies were obtained from 25 men and 10 women all young and healthy. METHODS Protein phosphorylation of Thr(172)AMPKα, Ser(221)ACCβ, Thr(286)CaMKII as well as total prote...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle mitochondrial FAT/CD36 content and palmitate oxidation are not decreased in obese women.
A reduction in fatty acid oxidation has been associated with lipid accumulation and insulin resistance in the skeletal muscle of obese individuals. We examined whether this decrease in fatty acid oxidation was attributable to a reduction in muscle mitochondrial content and/or a dysfunction in fatty acid oxidation within mitochondria obtained from skeletal muscle of age-matched, lean [body mass ...
متن کاملFasting hepatic glucose uptake is higher in men than women
Differences in glucose metabolism between men and women have previously been reported. Our purpose was to determine if there is a gender difference in fasting hepatic glucose uptake (MRglu). Fifty-five patients (44 men, 11 women) referred for routine PET/CT using the glucose tracer 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG), mainly for cancer, had dynamic imaging for 30 min immediately following in...
