Regulation by exercise of skeletal muscle content of mitochondria and GLUT4.

چکیده

Endurance exercise-training results in an increase in the size and number of mitochondria in the skeletal muscles that are involved in the exercise. In early studies of this phenomenon, long-term training programs of progressively increasing intensity and duration were used. These studies gave the impression that the adaptive increase in mitochondria is a slow process. Recent advances in the understanding of how mitochondrial biogenesis is regulated, have made it possible to study the mechanisms by which exercise regulates mitochondrial biogenesis. These studies have shown that a single bout of exercise induces a rapid increase in mitochondrial biogenesis that is mediated both by activation and by increased expression of a transcription coactivator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha). PGC-1alpha docks on and coactivates transcription factors that regulate expression of nuclear genes that encode mitochondrial proteins and also of the nuclear gene that encodes mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM). TFAM regulates mitochondrial DNA transcription. Thus, PGC-1alpha regulates the coordinated expression of mitochondrial proteins encoded in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes. In addition to an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis, exercise induces an increase in the GLUT4 isoform of the glucose transporter. This increase in GLUT4 occurs in parallel with, and is mediated by, the same signals and some of the same transcription factors as the increase in mitochondrial biogenesis. Two signals generated during exercise, the increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) and the decrease in high energy phosphates, mediate the activation and increased expression of PGC-1alpha. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of what is known regarding these phenomena.

Investigation of the RBP4 and GLUT4 gene expression in skeletal muscle of STZ induced diabetic rats following aerobic exercise training

Background: Type2 diabetes is a metabolic disease that is rapidly increasing in the world. GLUT4 and RBP4 are factors that play a role in glucose uptake. This study aimed to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity continuous training on RBP4 and GLUT4 gene expression of soleus muscle in STZ induced diabetic rats. Methods: This experimental study was conducted between May and September 201...

THE EFFECTS OF INTERVAL TRAINING INTENSITY ON SKELETAL MUSCLE PGC-1Α IN TYPE2 DIABETIC MALE RATS

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a 12 weeks interval training with high and moderate intensity on PGC-1α of skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetic male rats. Methods: 40 male rats were divided into two groups: High fat diet (HFD) (n=32) and standard diet (C) (n=8) for 10 weeks. After inducing type2 diabetes via STZ, 8 diabetic rats (D) and 8 rats in group C rats ...

Reduced glycogen availability is associated with increased AMPKalpha2 activity, nuclear AMPKalpha2 protein abundance, and GLUT4 mRNA expression in contracting human skeletal muscle.

Glycogen availability can influence glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression in skeletal muscle through unknown mechanisms. The multisubstrate enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has also been shown to play an important role in the regulation of GLUT4 expression in skeletal muscle. During contraction, AMPK alpha2 translocates to the nucleus and the activity of this AMPK isoform is enhanc...

Increased Skeletal Muscle GLUT4 Expression in Obese Mice After Voluntary Wheel Running Exercise Is Posttranscriptional

Exercise promotes glucose clearance by increasing skeletal muscle GLUT4-mediated glucose uptake. Importantly, exercise upregulates muscle GLUT4 expression in an insulin-independent manner under conditions of insulin resistance, such as with type 2 diabetes. However, the insulin-independent mechanism responsible for rescued muscle GLUT4 expression is poorly understood. We used voluntary wheel ru...

Diabetes and Role of Exercise on its Control; A systematic Review

Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic diseases. It is estimated that its worldwide prevalence will reach to 21% up to 2050. In Iran the prevalence of diabetes is estimated to be about 14%. It divided in two categories: type 1 and type 2. Diabetes type 1 is due to absolute deficiency of insulin secretion, and type 2 characterised by resistances to insulin and its inadequate compensation...
