Physical Training Increases Muscle GLUT4 Protein and mRNA in Patients With NIDDM

Abstract: Patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) exhibit insulin resistance and decreased glucose transport in skeletal muscle. Total content of muscle GLUT4 protein is not affected by NIDDM, whereas GLUT4 mRNA content is reported, variously, to be unaffected or increased. Physical training is recommended in the treatment of NIDDM, but the effect of training on muscle GLUT4 protein and mRNA content is unknown. To clarify the effect of training in NIDDM, seven men with NIDDM (58 +/- 2 years of age … Show more

“…These improvements in glucose disposal are therefore indicative of the muscle contraction-mediated effects on metabolism. The evidence base indicates that short-term aerobic training can increase myocellular GLUT4 protein content (45), endothelial lipoprotein lipase activity (46,47), and intracellular lipid metabolism (6); improve hepatic cholesterol metabolism; and reverse cholesterol transport (48). This mechanistic literature provides some insight into the elevated peripheral tissue glucose uptake, the decrease in circulating triglycerides, and the more favorable cholesterol subfractions seen after acute training in this study.…”

“…Classic alterations in skeletal muscle phenotype following physical training include improved fatigue resistance, enhanced aerobic capacity and greater insulin sensitivity [9,23,25,35,36]. The significance of an individual's ability to adapt to exercise training may ultimately influence multiple risk factors important for long term cardiovascular health [5].…”
