Acute aerobic exercise (AE) is a major physiological stimulus for skeletal muscle glucose uptake through activation of 5′ AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). However, the regulation by acute resistance (RE) remains unclear. To investigate intracellular after RE versus AE, male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into three groups: RE, or nonexercise control. After fasting 12 h overnight, right gastrocnemius in group was exercised at maximum isometric contraction via percutaneous electrical...
Muscle insulin sensitivity for stimulating glucose uptake is enhanced in the period after a single bout of exercise. We recently demonstrated that AMPK necessary AICAR, contraction, and exercise to enhance muscle whole-body mice. Correlative observations from both human rodent skeletal suggest regulation phosphorylation status TBC1D4 may relay this sensitization. However, necessity phenomenon has not been proven. Thus, purpose study was determine whether enhancing response AICAR contraction....
Evidence for AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism during exercise is mainly based on transgenic mouse models with chronic (lifelong) disruption AMPK function. Findings such are potentially biased by secondary effects related to a lack To study the direct effect(s) exercise, we generated new model inducible muscle-specific deletion AMPKα catalytic subunits in adult mice.Tamoxifen-inducible and AMPKα1/α2 double KO mice (AMPKα imdKO) were using...
Glycative stress, characterized by the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) associated with protein reactions, has been implicated in inducing a decline muscle function. Although inverse correlation between glycative stress mass strength demonstrated, underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aimed to elucidate how affects skeletal muscle, particularly adaptive response hypertrophic stimuli its mechanism.
Resistance training with eccentric contraction has been shown to augment muscle hypertrophy more than other modes do (i.e., concentric and isometric contraction). However, the molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear. The purpose of this study was investigate effect mode on mammalian target rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling using a standardized force-time integral (load (weight) × time). Male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned three groups: contraction, contraction. right...
Abstract Acute aerobic exercise (AE) increases skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity for several hours, caused by acute activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). resistance (RE) also activates AMPK, possibly improving insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. However, RE-induced rapamycin-sensitive mechanistic target rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is higher and has a longer duration than after AE. In molecular studies, mTORC1 was shown to be upstream receptor substrate (IRS-1) Ser...
The ability of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake in skeletal muscle is important for whole-body glycemic control. Insulin-stimulated improved the period after a single bout exercise, and accumulating evidence suggests that phosphorylation TBC1D4 by protein kinase AMPK primary mechanism responsible this phenomenon. To investigate this, we generated knock-in mouse model with serine-to-alanine point mutation at residue 711 phosphorylated response both activation. Female TBC1D4-S711A mice...
Exercise increases muscle glucose uptake independently of insulin signaling and represents a cornerstone for the prevention metabolic disorders. Pharmacological activation exercise-responsive AMPK in skeletal has been proven successful as therapeutic approach to treat disorders by improving homeostasis through regulation uptake. However, conflicting observations cloud proposed role necessary regulator during exercise. We show that human absence exercise exercise-stimulated AMPKγ3 activity...

Insulin stimulates skeletal muscle glucose uptake via activation of the protein kinase B/Akt (Akt) pathway. Recent studies suggest that insulin downregulates AMP-activated (AMPK) activity Ser485/491 phosphorylation AMPK α-subunit. Thus lower blood concentrations may induce signal activation. Acute exercise is one method to stimulate activation; however, no study has examined relationship between levels and acute resistance exercise-induced pathway Based on previous findings, we hypothesized...
