One exercise session can increase subsequent insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (ISGU) by skeletal muscle. Postexercise refeeding induces reversal of postexercise (PEX)-enhanced ISGU concomitant with attaining high muscle glycogen in rats. To test the relationship between high glycogen and reversal of PEX-ISGU, we injected one epitrochlearis muscle from each rat with adeno-associated virus (AAV) small hairpin RNA (shRNA) that targets glycogen synthase 1 (GS1) and injected contralateral muscles with AAV-shRNA-Scrambled (Scr).

One exercise session can increase subsequent insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (ISGU) by skeletal muscle from rodents and humans of both sexes. We recently found that concurrent mutation of three key sites to prevent their phosphorylation (Ser588, Thr642, and Ser704) on Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160; also known as TBC1D4) reduced the magnitude of the enhancement of postexercise ISGU (PEX-ISGU) by muscle from male, but not female rats. However, we did not test the role of individual phosphorylation sites on PEX-ISGU.

Skeletal muscle substrate preference for fuel is largely influenced by dietary macronutrient availability. The abundance of dietary carbohydrates promotes the utilization of glucose as a substrate for energy production, whereas an abundant dietary fat supply elevates rates of fatty acid (FA) oxidation. The objective of this study was to determine whether an obesogenic, high-fat, sucrose-enriched (HFS) diet or a carbohydrate-free ketogenic diet (KD) exert distinct effects on fat, glucose, and ketone metabolism in oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscles.

This study investigated the role of diacylglycerol (DAG)-mediated protein kinase C (PKC) activation, ceramide accumulation and inflammation in insulin-resistant female oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscles induced by an obesogenic high-fat sucrose-enriched (HFS) diet. The HFS diet impaired insulin-stimulated AKT phosphorylation and glycogen synthesis, whereas rates of fatty acid oxidation and basal lactate production were significantly elevated in soleus (Sol), extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and epitrochlearis (Epit) muscles. Insulin resistance was accompanied by increases in triacylglycerol (TAG) and DAG contents in Sol and EDL, whereas in Epit muscles only TAG content and markers of inflammation were associated with HFS diet-induced insulin resistance.

We evaluated effects of calorie restriction (CR; consuming 65% of ad libitum (AL) intake) for 8 weeks on female wildtype (WT) and Akt substrate of 160 kDa knockout (AS160-KO) rats. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (ISGU) was determined in isolated epitrochlearis muscles incubated with 0, 50, 100, or 500 µU/mL insulin. Phosphorylation of key insulin signaling proteins that control ISGU (Akt and AS160) was assessed by immunoblotting (Akt phosphorylation on Threonine-308, pAkt and Serine-473, pAkt; AS160 phosphorylation on Serine-588, pAS160, and Threonine-642, pAS160).
