Type 2 diabetes is characterized by reduced contractile force production and increased fatigability of skeletal muscle. While the maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis during muscle contraction is a requisite for optimal contractile function, the mechanisms underlying muscle contractile dysfunction in type 2 diabetes are unclear. Here, we investigated skeletal muscle contractile force and Ca2+ flux during contraction and pharmacological stimulation in type 2 diabetic model mice ( db/db mice). Furthermore, we investigated the effect of treadmill exercise training on muscle contractile function. In male db/db mice, muscle contractile force and peak Ca2+ levels were both lower during tetanic stimulation of the fast-twitch muscles, while Ca2+ accumulation was higher after stimulation compared with control mice. While 6 wk of exercise training did not improve glucose tolerance, exercise did improve muscle contractile dysfunction, peak Ca2+ levels, and Ca2+ accumulation following stimulation in male db/db mice. These data suggest that dysfunctional Ca2+ flux may contribute to skeletal muscle contractile dysfunction in type 2 diabetes and that exercise training may be a promising therapeutic approach for dysfunctional skeletal muscle contraction. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The purpose of this study was to examine muscle contractile function and Ca2+ regulation as well as the effect of exercise training in skeletal muscle in obese diabetic mice ( db/db). We observed impairment of muscle contractile force and Ca2+ regulation in a male type 2 diabetic animal model. These dysfunctions in muscle were improved by 6 wk of exercise training.

Nowadays, is well established that the benefits induced by exercise training (ET) affects not only skeletal muscle, but also other non-contractile organs over time. One potential mechanism underlying this crosstalk is the synthesis and secretion of several biological active factors, such as irisin, by muscle contractile activity. This hormone has been described to be able to induce a brown adipocyte-like phenotype in white adipose (WAT), increase whole-body metabolic rate, and therefore prevent and/or treat obesity-related metabolic diseases. Thus, the modulatory impact of ET on WAT may also occur through skeletal muscle - adipose organ axis. In this review, we summarize the acute and chronic adaptations to ET-induced irisin synthesis and secretion on the development of browning of white fat and, thus, providing an overview of the potential preventive and therapeutic role of ET on the obesity-related underlying pathways.

We examined the hypothesis that the exercise training-induced increase in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity is mediated by adaptations in insulin binding to sarcolemmal (SL) insulin receptors. Insulin binding studies were performed on rat skeletal muscle SL isolated from control and trained rats. No significant differences were noted between groups in body weight or fat. An intravenous glucose tolerance test showed an increase in whole-body insulin sensitivity with training, and specific D-glucose transport studies on isolated SL vesicles indicated that this was due in part to adaptations in skeletal muscle. Enzyme marker analyses revealed no differences in yield, purity, or contamination of SL membranes between the two groups. Scatchard analyses indicated no significant differences in the number of insulin binding sites per milligram SL protein on the high-affinity (15.0 +/- 4.1 vs. 18.1 +/- 6.4 X 10(9)) or on the low-affinity portions (925 +/- 80 vs. 884 +/- 106 X 10(9)) of the curves. The association constants of the high-affinity (0.764 +/- 0.154 vs. 0.685 +/- 0.264 X 10(9) M-1) and of the low affinity sites (0.0096 +/- 0.0012 vs. 0.0102 +/- 0.0012 X 10(9) M-1) also were similar. These results do not support the hypothesis that the increased sensitivity to insulin after exercise training is due to changes in SL insulin receptor binding.
