This investigation examined the effects of short-term exercise training on insulin-stimulated GLUT-4 glucose transporter translocation and glucose transport activity in rat adipose cells. Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to a sedentary (Sed) or swim training group (Sw, 4 days; final 3 days: 2 × 3 h/day). Adipose cell size decreased significantly but minimally (∼20%), whereas total GLUT-4 increased by 30% in Sw vs. Sed rats. Basal 3- O-methyl-d-[14C]glucose transport was reduced by 62%, whereas maximally insulin-stimulated (MIS) glucose transport was increased by 36% in Sw vs. Sed rats. MIS cell surface GLUT-4 photolabeling was 44% higher in the Sw vs. Sed animals, similar to the increases observed in MIS glucose transport activity and total GLUT-4. These results suggest that increases in total GLUT-4 and GLUT-4 translocation to the cell surface contribute to the increase in MIS glucose transport with short-term exercise training. In addition, the results suggest that the exercise training-induced adaptations in glucose transport occur more rapidly than previously thought and with minimal changes in adipose cell size.

We studied the mechanism for the increase in glucose transport activity that occurs in adipose cells of exercise-trained rats. Glucose transport activity, glucose metabolism, and the subcellular distribution of glucose transporters were measured in adipose cells from rats raised in wheel cages for 6 wk (mean total exercise 350 km/rat), age-matched sedentary controls, and young sedentary controls matched for adipose cell size. Basal rates of glucose transport and metabolism were greater in cells from exercise-trained rats compared with young controls, and insulin-stimulated rates were greater in the exercise-trained rats compared with both age-matched and young controls. The numbers of plasma membrane glucose transporters were not different among groups in the basal state; however, with insulin stimulation, cells from exercise-trained animals had significantly more plasma membrane transporters than young controls or age-matched controls. Exercise-trained rats also had more low-density microsomal transporters than control rats in the basal state. When the total number of glucose transporters/cell was calculated, the exercise-trained rats had 42% more transporters than did either control group. These studies demonstrate that the increased glucose transport and metabolism observed in insulin-stimulated adipose cells from exercise-trained rats is due, primarily, to an increase in the number of plasma membrane glucose transporters translocated from an enlarged intracellular pool.

Free Calcium Concentration

The role of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, [Cai], in mediating insulin's stimulatory effect on glucose transport was investigated in isolated Ca2+-tolerant rat ventricular cells. Approximately 98% of glucose transport in isolated myocytes was inhibited by phloretin. Insulin-accelerated glucose transport by 50-115% over basal transport rate. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ had no effect on either the basal transport rate or insulin's stimulatory action, indicating that extracellular Ca2+ was not necessary for insulin's effect to be manifest. Addition of A23187 had no effect on glucose transport rate. Under basal conditions, [Cai] was 167 +/- 12 nM as measured by fura-2 fluorescence and 239 +/- 22 nM by null-point titration with arsenazo III. Loading cells with fura-2 did not affect basal glucose transport rates. In addition, the stimulatory effect of insulin on glucose transport was preserved in fura-2 loaded cells. In paired experiments, insulin did not increase [Cai] as measured by fura-2 fluorescence or null-point titration despite acceleration of glucose transport. In contrast, addition of KCl (40 mM) increased [Cai] from 168 +/- 30 to 287 +/- 51 nM and resulted in 50% reduction in glucose transport rate. In other experiments designed to control for the hyperosmolar effects of KCl, NaCl (40 mM) caused no change in [Cai] but also inhibited glucose transport rate by 50%. We conclude that an elevation in [Cai] is unlikely to be the intracellular signal mediating insulin's effect on glucose transport since insulin's stimulatory effect was not reduced by Ca2+ -free media, insulin had no detectable effect on [Cai], and elevation of [Cai] by KCl did not result in stimulation of glucose transport.

Initial Processing

Isolated muscle cells from adult rat heart were used to study the relationship between myocardial insulin processing and insulin action on 3-O-methylglucose transport at 37 degrees C. Internalization of the hormone as measured by determination of the non-dissociable fraction of cell-bound insulin increased linearly up to 10 min, reaching a plateau by 30-60 min at 3 nM-insulin. At this hormone concentration the onset of insulin action was found to be biphasic, with a rapid phase up to 8 min, followed by a much slower phase, reaching maximal insulin action by 30-60 min. Insulin internalization was totally blocked by phenylarsine oxide, whereas dansylcadaverine had no effect on this process. Initial insulin action (5 min) on glucose transport was not affected by chloroquine and dansylcadaverine, but was completely abolished by treatment of cardiocytes with phenylarsine oxide. This drug effect was partly prevented by the presence of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol. Under steady-state conditions (60 min), the stimulatory action of insulin was decreased by about 60% by both chloroquine and dansylcadaverine. This study, demonstrates that insulin action on cardiac glucose transport is mediated by processing of the hormone. The data suggest dual pathways of insulin action involving initial processing of hormone-receptor complexes and lysosomal degradation.

This study deals with the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) on glucose transport in isolated rat cardiac myocytes. In these cells, 5-HT (10-300 microns), as well as tryptamine, 5-methoxytryptamine and dopamine, elicited a 3-5 fold increase in glucose transport, as compared with control. This effect was maximal after 90 min, and was concomitant with a 1.8- and 1.5-fold increase in the amounts of glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT4 at the cell surface of the cardiomyocytes, as determined by using the photoaffinity label 3H-2-N-[4-(1-azi-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzoyl]-1,3-bis-(D-manno s-4-yl) propyl-2-amine (3H-ATB-BMPA). In contrast, 3-3000 microM of the selective 5-HT receptor agonists 5-carboxyamido-tryptamine, alpha-methyl-serotonin, 2-methyl-serotonin or renzapride failed to stimulate glucose transport. The effect of 5-HT was not affected by (i) the 5-HT receptor antagonists methysergide (1 microM), ketanserin (1 microM), cyproheptadine (1 microM), MDL 72222 (1 microM) or ICS 205-930 (3 microM), nor by (ii) the adrenergic receptor antagonists prazosin (1 microM), yohimbine (1 microM) or propranolol (5 microM), nor by (iii) the dopaminergic antagonists SCH 23390 (1 microM) or haloperidol (1 microM). The monoamine oxidase inhibitors clorgyline (1 microM) and tranylcypromine (1 microM) completely suppressed the effect of 5-HT, whereas the control and insulin-stimulated rates of glucose transport were unaffected. Addition of catalase or glutathione diminished the 5-HT-dependent stimulation of glucose transport by 50%; these two factors are known to favour the degradation of H2O2 (which can be formed during the deamination of amines by monoamine oxidases). Glutathione also depressed the stimulatory action of exogenously added H2O2 (20 microM) by 30%. Furthermore, in cells treated with 5_HT, a time-dependent accumulation of 5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-ylacetic acid (a product of 5-HT metabolism via monoamine oxidases) was observed, which paralleled the changes in glucose transport. In conclusion, the stimulation of glucose transport by 5-HT in cardiomyocytes is not mediated by a 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT3 or 5-HT4 receptor, nor by an adrenergic or dopaminergic receptor, but is likely to occur through the degradation of by a monoamine oxidase and concomitant formation of H2O2.
