Injuries, hemorrhage, sepsis, burn, and critical illnesses all induce insulin resistance, and insulin resistance is strongly associated with advancing age. However, the effect of age on injury induced insulin resistance is not well studied. We performed surgical trauma in male rats of three different ages (3-, 6-, and 10-weeks old). Rats were either hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 35–40 mmHg and subsequently maintained at that pressure for up to 90 min, or maintained without hemorrhage as controls. Results indicate that insulin-induced intracellular signaling was diminished in liver and skeletal muscle of 6- and 10-week old rats following trauma and hemorrhage. In even younger rats, immediately post-weaning (∼3 weeks of age), insulin signaling was lost in liver, but not in skeletal muscle. Glucocorticoids can play a role in the chronic development of insulin resistance. Our results demonstrate that corticosterone levels were increased in 6- and 10-week old animals following hemorrhage, but little change was measured in 3-week old animals. Blockade of glucocorticoid synthesis prevented the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, but not in liver of 6- and 10-week old rats. Moreover, skeletal muscle glucocorticoid receptor levels increased dramatically between 3 and 6 weeks of age. These results indicate that trauma and hemorrhage-induced hepatic insulin resistance occurs at all ages tested. However, there is no development of insulin resistance following trauma and hemorrhage in skeletal muscle of post-weaning rats. In skeletal muscle of 6- and 10-week old rats, inhibition of glucocorticoid levels prevents the development of insulin resistance.

Alterations in the intensity and pattern of spontaneous running activity as rats increase in age from 7 wk to 1 yr was studied in male rats placed in exercise wheel cages. Daily running records were obtained on 27 rats for periods up to 12 mo, and 24-h activity recordings were made of selected runners to study the variation in activity during the day. The data indicate that for rats running over 2,940 revolutions (or 2 miles/day), the maximum intensity of running attained can be divided into a group of high achievers (approximately 8 miles/day) and moderate achievers (averaging 4.5 miles/day). For both groups, spontaneous running activity reached maximal rates after 4–5 wk. This maximal rate was sustained for 7–8 wk, then fell to levels approximately 60% of maximum for 4–5 mo, and then fell again to levels approximately 25% of maximum from 8 to 12 mo of age. The hourly pattern of running activity during the day was defined in rats of increasing age, who averaged 13,280, 6,662, 3,874, and 1,755 rev/day, corresponding to 9.0, 4.5, 2.6, and 1.2 miles/day, respectively. The overall patterns at each level indicated that the major running period occurred between 6:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M., the greater activity of younger rats was paralleled by faster speeds and longer duration at each hour of the day, and the peak running activity for each group generally occurred between 7:00 and 9:00 P.M. In summary, there is a progressive loss in speed and duration of spontaneous running activity as male rats increase in age, with intensity of exercise falling below 2 miles/day after 7–8 mo of age.

Although metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M are widely used fungicides, very little is known about their subacute and enantiospecific effects on the earthworm metabolome. In this study, Eisenia fetida were exposed to metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M at three concentrations (0.5, 5 and 50 mg/kg) for seven days. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based untargeted metabolomics showed that metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M exposure disturbed earthworms’ metabolism at all three concentrations. Endogenous metabolites, such as succinate, arginine, aspartate, urea, asparagine, alanine, trimethylamine, taurine, cysteine, serine, threonine, histidine, lysine, glucose, choline, carnitine, citric acid, alpha-ketoisovaleric acid, fumaric acid and so on, were significantly changed. These results indicate that metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M produce different, enantiospecific disturbances in the earthworm metabolism, particularly in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and urea cycles. The application of untargeted metabolomics thus provides more information for evaluating the toxic risks of metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M.
