Popis: | One exercise session can increase subsequent insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (ISGU) by skeletal muscle. Prior research on healthy muscle suggests that enhanced postexercise ISGU depends on elevated γ3-AMPK activity leading to greater phosphorylation of Akt substrate of 160 kDa (pAS160) on an AMPK-phosphomotif (Ser704). Phosphorylation of AS160Ser704, in turn, may favor greater insulin-stimulated pAS160 on an Akt-phosphomotif (Thr642) that regulates ISGU. Accordingly, we tested if exercise-induced increases in γ3-AMPK activity and pAS160 on key regulatory sites accompany improved ISGU at 3 h postexercise (3hPEX) in insulin-resistant muscle. Rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD; 2-wk) that induces insulin resistance either performed acute swim-exercise (2 h) or were sedentary (SED). SED rats fed a low-fat diet (LFD; 2 wk) served as healthy controls. Isolated epitrochlearis muscles from 3hPEX and SED rats were analyzed for ISGU, pAS160, pAkt2 (Akt-isoform that phosphorylates pAS160Thr642), and γ1-AMPK and γ3-AMPK activity. ISGU was lower in HFD-SED muscles versus LFD-SED, but this decrement was eliminated in the HFD-3hPEX group. γ3-AMPK activity, but not γ1-AMPK activity, was elevated in HFD-3hPEX muscles versus both SED controls. Furthermore, insulin-stimulated pAS160Thr642, pAS160Ser704, and pAkt2Ser474 in HFD-3hPEX muscles were elevated above HFD-SED and equal to values in LFD-SED muscles, but insulin-independent pAS160Ser704 was unaltered at 3hPEX. These results demonstrated, for the first time in an insulin-resistant model, that the postexercise increase in ISGU was accompanied by sustained enhancement of γ3-AMPK activation and greater pAkt2Ser474. Our working hypothesis is that these changes along with enhanced insulin-stimulated pAS160 increase ISGU of insulin-resistant muscles to values equaling insulin-sensitive sedentary controls. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Earlier research focusing on signaling events linked to increased insulin sensitivity in muscle has rarely evaluated insulin resistant muscle after exercise. We assessed insulin resistant muscle after an exercise protocol that improved insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Prior exercise also amplified several signaling steps expected to favor enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake: increased γ3-AMP-activated protein kinase activity, greater insulin-stimulated Akt2 phosphorylation on Ser474, and elevated insulin-stimulated Akt substrate of 160 kDa phosphorylation on Ser588, Thr642, and Ser704. |
