Voluntary Exercise Can Ameliorate Insulin Resistance by Reducing iNOS-Mediated S-Nitrosylation of Akt in the Liver in Obese Rats

Abstract: Voluntary exercise can ameliorate insulin resistance. The underlying mechanism, however, remains to be elucidated. We previously demonstrated that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the liver plays an important role in hepatic insulin resistance in the setting of obesity. In this study, we tried to verify our hypothesis that voluntary exercise improves insulin resistance by reducing the expression of iNOS and subsequent S-nitrosylation of key molecules of glucose metabolism in the liver.

“…In this sense, the increase of blood glucose, insulin and HOMA-2%S after neuronal injury in the sedentary FPI group corroborates data from obese animal and human studies indicating that hepatic cytokine expression (TNF-α) activates intracellular JNK and phosphorylate insulin receptor substrate (IRS-1) at serine residues (Cai et al 2005;Moschen & Tilg, 2008). Our experimental data also suggest that acute stress, such as TBI, may lead to hyperglycaemia, in the absence of diabetes, and also that strategies such as exercise training can enhance glucose control and reduce damage as a result of hyperglycaemia to several cells (Tsuzuki et al 2015;Shi et al 2016). Indeed, our experimental protocol of exercise training protected against blood glucose, insulin and HOMA-2%S increases, as well as hepatic immunoreactivity of pJNK increase, and also pIRS and pAKT decreases after neuronal injury.…”

“…OLETF rats develop hyperglycemia after 18 weeks of age, and most OLETF rats have diabetes at 25 weeks of age [ 15 , 17 ]. Our group also previously confirmed that OLETF rats develop diabetes at 25 weeks of age [ 18 ]. At 5 weeks of age, the rats were assigned randomly to four groups: OLETF sedentary group (O-Sed; n = 11), OLETF exercise group (O-Ex; n = 10), LETO sedentary group (L-Sed; n = 9), and LETO exercise group (L-Ex; n = 9).…”

“…Thus, collectively, our findings suggest that S-nitrosation of IR and Akt supersedes its potential anti-inflammatory effects and therefore contributes to obesity physiopathology. Importantly, exercise-mediated neurological control of weight loss has been associated with attenuation of hypothalamic inflammation and protection of POMC neurons from apoptosis, resulting in increased insulin and leptin sensitivity 45 – 48 . Consistent with these results we observed that exercise decreased S-nitrosation of IR and Akt in hypothalamus and reduction in food intake of DIO mice.…”
