Muscle Glucose Transport

Hypertension is often accompanied by insulin resistance of skeletal muscle glucose transport. The male heterozygous TG(mREN2)27 rat, which harbors a mouse transgene for renin, displays local elevations in the renin-angiotensin system and exhibits markedly elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP). The present study was undertaken to characterize insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose transport in male heterozygous TG(mREN2)27 rats and to evaluate the effect of voluntary exercise training on SBP and skeletal muscle glucose transport. Compared with normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats, TG(mREN2)27 rats displayed a 53% elevation ( P < 0.05) in SBP, a twofold increase in plasma free fatty acid levels, and an exaggerated insulin response during an oral glucose tolerance test. Moreover, insulin-mediated glucose transport (2-deoxyglucose uptake) in isolated epitrochlearis and soleus muscles of TG(mREN2)27 animals was 33 and 43% less, respectively, than in Sprague-Dawley controls. TG(mREN2)27 rats ran voluntarily for 6 wk and achieved daily running distances of 6–7 km over the final 3 wk. Training caused a 36% increase in peak aerobic capacity and a 16% reduction in resting SBP. Fasting plasma insulin (21%) and free fatty acid (34%) levels were reduced in the trained TG(mREN2)27 rats. Whole body glucose tolerance was improved in the trained TG(mREN2)27 rats and was associated with increases of 39 and 50% in insulin-mediated glucose transport in epitrochlearis and soleus muscles, respectively. Whole muscle GLUT-4 protein was increased in the soleus (23%), but not in the epitrochlearis, of trained TG(mREN2)27 rats. These data indicate that the male heterozygous TG(mREN2)27 rat is a model of both hypertension and insulin resistance. Importantly, both of these defects can be beneficially modified by voluntary exercise training.

Muscle Glucose Transport

Male heterozygous TG(mREN2)27 rats (TGR) overexpress a murine renin transgene, display marked hypertension, and have insulin resistance of skeletal muscle glucose transport and insulin signaling. We have shown previously that voluntary exercise training by TGR improves insulin-mediated skeletal muscle glucose transport (Kinnick TR, Youngblood EB, O’Keefe MP, Saengsirisuwan V, Teachey MK, and Henriksen EJ. J Appl Physiol 93: 805–812, 2002). The present study evaluated whether this training-induced enhancement of muscle glucose transport is associated with upregulation of critical insulin signaling elements, including insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Akt, and glycogen synthase kinase-3. TGR remained sedentary or ran spontaneously in activity wheels for 6 wk, averaging 7.1 ± 0.8 km/day by the end of week 3 and 4.3 ± 0.5 km/day over the final week of training. Exercise training reduced total abdominal fat by 20% ( P < 0.05) in TGR runners (2.64 ± 0.01% of body weight) compared with sedentary TGR controls (3.28 ± 0.01%). Insulin-stimulated (2 mU/ml) glucose transport activity in soleus muscle was 36% greater in TGR runners compared with sedentary TGR controls. However, the protein expression and functionality of tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor and IRS-1, IRS-1 associated with the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and Ser473 phosphorylation of Akt were not altered by exercise training. Only insulin-stimulated glycogen synthase kinase-3β Ser9 phosphorylation was increased (22%) by exercise training. These results indicate that voluntary exercise training in TGR can enhance insulin-mediated glucose transport in skeletal muscle, as well as reduce total abdominal fat mass. However, this adaptive response in muscle occurs independently of modifications in the proximal elements of the insulin signaling cascade.

Muscle Glucose Transport

The fatty acid-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) enhances glucose tolerance and insulin action on skeletal muscle glucose transport in rodent models of insulin resistance. However, no study has directly compared the metabolic effects of the two primary CLA isomers, cis-9, trans-11-CLA (c9,t11-CLA) and trans-10, cis-12-CLA (t10,c12-CLA). Therefore, we assessed the effects of a 50:50 mixture of these two CLA isomers (M-CLA) and of preparations enriched in either c9,t11-CLA (76% enriched) or t10,c12-CLA (90% enriched) on glucose tolerance and insulin-stimulated glucose transport in skeletal muscle of the insulin-resistant obese Zucker ( fa/ fa) rat. Animals were treated daily by gavage with either vehicle (corn oil), M-CLA, c9,t11-CLA, or t10,c12-CLA (all CLA treatments at 1.5 g total CLA/kg body wt) for 21 consecutive days. During an oral glucose tolerance test, glucose responses were reduced ( P < 0.05) by 10 and 16%, respectively, in the M-CLA and t10,c12-CLA animals, respectively, whereas insulin responses were diminished by 21 and 19% in these same groups. There were no significant alterations in these responses in the c9,t11-CLA group. Insulin-mediated glucose transport activity was enhanced by M-CLA treatment in both type I soleus (32%) and type IIb epitrochlearis (58%) muscles and by 36 and 48%, respectively, with t10,c12-CLA. In the soleus, these increases were associated with decreases in protein carbonyls (index of oxidative stress, r = -0.616, P = 0.0038) and intramuscular triglycerides ( r = -0.631, P = 0.0028). Treatment with c9,t11-CLA was without effect on these variables. These results suggest that the ability of CLA treatment to improve glucose tolerance and insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle of the obese Zucker rat are associated with a reduction in oxidative stress and muscle lipid levels and can be specifically ascribed to the actions of the t10,c12 isomer. In the obese Zucker rat, the c9,t11 isomer of CLA is metabolically neutral.

To address the potential role of lipotoxicity and mitochondrial function in insulin resistance, we studied mice with high-level expression of uncoupling protein-1 in skeletal muscle (UCP-H mice). Body weight, body length, and bone mineral density were decreased in UCP-H mice compared with wild-type littermates. Forelimb grip strength and muscle mass were strikingly decreased, whereas muscle triglyceride content was increased fivefold in UCP-H mice. Electron microscopy demonstrated lipid accumulation and large mitochondria with abnormal architecture in UCP-H skeletal muscle. ATP content and key mitochondrial proteins were decreased in UCP-H muscle. Despite mitochondrial dysfunction and increased intramyocellular fat, fasting serum glucose was 22% lower and insulin-stimulated glucose transport 80% higher in UCP-H animals. These beneficial effects on glucose metabolism were associated with increased AMP kinase and hexokinase activities, as well as elevated levels of GLUT4 and myocyte enhancer factor-2 proteins A and D in skeletal muscle. These results suggest that UCP-H mice have a mitochondrial myopathy due to depleted energy stores sufficient to compromise growth and impair muscle function. Enhanced skeletal muscle glucose transport in this setting suggests that excess intramyocellular lipid and mitochondrial dysfunction are not sufficient to cause insulin resistance in mice.

Exercise training has been found to reduce the muscle insulin resistance of the obese Zucker rat (fa/fa). The purpose of the present study was to determine whether this reduction in muscle insulin resistance was associated with an improvement in the glucose transport process and if it was fiber-type specific. Rats were randomly assigned to a sedentary or training group. Training consisted of treadmill running at 18 m/min up an 8% grade, 1.5 h/day, 5 days/wk, for 6–8 wk. The rate of muscle glucose transport was assessed in the absence of insulin and in the presence of a physiological (0.15 mU/ml), a submaximal (1.50 mU/ml), and a maximal (15.0 mU/ml) insulin concentration by determining the rate of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG) accumulation during hindlimb perfusion. The average 3-OMG transport rate of the red gastrocnemii (fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers) was significantly higher in the trained compared with the sedentary obese rats in the absence of insulin and in the presence of the three insulin concentrations. Significant improvements in 3-OMG transport were also observed in the plantarii (mixed fibers) of trained obese rats in the presence of 0, 0.15, and 15.0 mU/ml insulin. Training appeared to have little effect on the insulin-stimulated 3-OMG transport of the soleus (slow-twitch oxidative fibers) or white gastrocnemius (fast-twitch glycolytic fibers). The results suggest that the improvement in the muscle insulin resistance of the obese Zucker rat after moderate endurance training was associated with an improvement in the glucose transport process but that it was fiber-type specific.

Denervated Muscles

Denervation (24 h) of skeletal muscle causes severe postreceptor insulin resistance of glucose transport and glycogen synthesis that is demonstrable in isolated muscles after short (30 min) preincubations. After longer preincubations (2-4 h), the insulin response of glucose transport increased to normal, whereas glycogen synthesis remained insulin resistant. Basal and insulin-stimulated amino acid transport were significantly lower in denervated muscles than in controls after short or long incubations, although the percentage stimulation of transport by insulin was not significantly different. The development of glucose transport insulin resistance after denervation was not attributable to increased sensitivity to glucocorticoids or adenosine. The selective in vitro reversal of glucose transport insulin resistance was not dependent on medium composition, did not require protein or prostaglandin synthesis, and could not be attributed to release of a positive regulator into the medium. The data suggest 1) the insulin receptor in muscle stimulates glucose transport by a signaling pathway that is not shared by other insulin-sensitive effector systems, and 2) denervation may affect insulin receptor signal transduction at more than one site.
