Effects of a single exercise bout on insulin action were compared in men (n = 10) and women (n = 10). On an exercise day, subjects cycled for 90 min at 85% lactate threshold, whereas on a rest (control) day, they remained semirecumbent. The period of exercise, or rest, was followed by a 3-h hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (30 mU.m(-2).min(-1)) and indirect calorimetry. Glucose kinetics were measured isotopically by using an infusion of [6,6-2H2]glucose. Glucose infusion rate (GIR) during the clamp on the rest day was not different between the genders. However, GIR on the exercise day was significantly lower in men compared with women (P = 0.01). This was mainly due to a significantly lower glucose rate of disappearance in men compared with women (P = 0.05), whereas no differences were observed in the endogenous glucose rate of appearance. Nonprotein respiratory quotient (NPRQ) increased significantly during the clamp from preclamp measurements in men and women on the rest day (P < 0.01). Exercise abolished the increase in NPRQ seen during the clamp on the rest day and tended to decrease NPRQ in men. Our results indicate the following: 1) exercise abolishes the usual increase in NPRQ observed during a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in both genders, 2) men exhibit relatively lower whole body insulin action in the 3-4 h after exercise compared with women, and 3) gender differences in insulin action may be explained by a lower glucose rate of disappearance in the men after acute exercise. Together, these data imply gender differences in insulin action postexercise exist in peripheral tissues and not in liver. 相似文献

Objective: Higher post‐absorptive post‐heparin plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity has been reported in African Americans as compared to non‐Hispanic whites but differences in tissue‐specific LPL activity are unclear. Methods and Procedures: Post‐absorptive skeletal muscle (SM)‐LPL (vastus lateralis) and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (AT)‐LPL activity was measured in overweight, sedentary African American females (n = 11) as well as in their non‐Hispanic white counterparts (n = 6) during a period of controlled low fat (30%) diet (for 10 days) combined with physical activity (for days 8–10). Post‐absorptive substrate utilization was measured on day 10; fasting blood levels and SM and AT biopsies were obtained on day 11. Results: African Americans had significantly greater post‐absorptive SM‐LPL activity (P = 0.04) when compared to non‐Hispanic whites. There were no significant differences in post‐absorptive AT‐LPL activity, free fatty acids, and systemic fat oxidation or respiratory quotient between African American and white non‐Hispanic women in this study (P > 0.2 for all). Discussion: During a controlled low fat (30%) diet post‐absorptive vastus lateralis SM‐LPL activity is higher in sedentary pre‐menopausal African American as compared to non‐Hispanic white women. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is regulated in a tissue-specific manner; exercise increases LPL activity in muscle at the same time it is reduced in adipose tissue. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between LPL activity and LPL mRNA in muscle and adipose tissue in rats exposed to one bout of exercise. Immediately after a 2-h swim, LPL activity [pmol free fatty acids (FFA).min-1.mg tissue-1] in the exercised animals was reduced 43% in adipose tissue (110 +/- 26 to 63 +/- 17) and increased almost twofold in the soleus muscle (203 +/- 26 to 383 +/- 59) compared with sedentary control animals. At the same time, LPL mRNA was reduced 42% in adipose tissue and increased 50 and 100% in the red vastus and white vastus muscles, respectively. Twenty-four hours after the swim, LPL activity had returned to control levels in adipose tissue and the soleus muscle. At hour 24 of recovery, LPL mRNA was still reduced 23% in the adipose tissue of exercised animals but was not significantly different between exercised and control animals in any of the muscle tissues analyzed. Changes in total RNA concentration could not account for the changes in relative LPL mRNA expression. The relationship between LPL enzyme activity and LPL mRNA in muscle and adipose tissue was +0.86 and +0.93 at 0 and 24 h postexercise, respectively. Thus the tissue-specific changes in enzyme activity induced by exercise could be mediated, in part, through pretranslational control. 相似文献

The development of metabolic complications of obesity has been associated with the existence of depot-specific differences in the biochemical properties of adipocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate, in severely obese men and women, both gender- and depot-related differences in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression and activity, as well as the involvement of endocrine and biometric factors and their dependence on gender and/or fat depot. Morbidly obese, nondiabetic, subjects (9 men and 22 women) aged 41.1+/-1.9 years, with a body mass index (BMI) of 54.7+/-1.7 kg/m(2) who had undergone abdominal surgery were studied. Both expression and activity of LPL and leptin expression were determined in adipose samples from subcutaneous and visceral fat depots. In both men and women, visceral fat showed higher LPL mRNA levels as well as lower ob mRNA levels and tissue leptin content than the subcutaneous one. In both subcutaneous and visceral adipose depots, women exhibited higher protein content, decreased fat cell size and lower LPL activity than men. The gender-related differences found in abdominal fat LPL activity could contribute to the increased risk for developing obesity-associated diseases shown by men, even in morbid obesity, in which the massive fat accumulation could mask these differences. Furthermore, the leptin content of fat depots as well as plasma insulin concentrations appear in our population as the main determinants of adipose tissue LPL activity, adjusted by gender, depot and BMI. 相似文献

Objective: To determine the effects of weight loss (WL) alone and combined with aerobic exercise on visceral adipose tissue (VAT), intramuscular fat, insulin‐stimulated glucose uptake, and the rate of decline in free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations during hyperinsulinemia. Research Methods and Procedures: We studied 33 sedentary, obese (BMI = 32 ± 1 kg/m2) postmenopausal women who completed a 6‐month (three times per week) program of either WL alone (n = 16) or WL + aerobic exercise (AEX) (n = 17). Glucose utilization (M) was measured during a 3‐hour hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp (40 mU/m2 per minute). M/I, the amount of glucose metabolized per unit of plasma insulin (I), was used as an index of insulin sensitivity. Results: Body weight, total fat mass, and percentage fat decreased similarly in both groups (p < 0.01). VAT, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue, mid‐thigh subcutaneous fat, and intramuscular fat decreased to a similar extent in both groups and between 14% and 27% after WL and WL+AEX (p < 0.05). WL alone did not change M or M/I; however, M and M/I increased 15% and 21% after WL+AEX (p < 0.05). Fasting concentrations and rate of decline of FFA did not change in either group. In stepwise regression models to determine the independent predictors of changes in M and M/I, the change in VAT was the single independent predictor of M (r2 = 0.30) and M/I (r2 = 0.33). Discussion: Intramuscular fat decreases similarly with 6 months of moderate WL alone or with aerobic exercise in postmenopausal women. In contrast, only WL combined with exercise results in increased glucose utilization and insulin sensitivity. These findings should be validated in a larger population. 相似文献

Objective: To determine whether racial differences in insulin resistance between African American (AA) and white women exist in postmenopausal women and whether they are related to physical fitness and/or obesity. Research Methods and Procedures: We studied 35 obese AA (n = 9) and white (n = 26) women of comparable maximal oxygen consumption, obesity, and age. Total body fat was measured by DXA. Abdominal and mid‐thigh low‐density lean tissue (a marker of intramuscular fat) were determined with computed tomography. Glucose utilization (M) was measured during the last 30 minutes of a 3‐hour hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp. Insulin sensitivity was estimated from the relationship of M to the concentration of insulin during the last 30 minutes of the clamp. Results: The percentage of fat and total body fat mass were similar between AA and white women, whereas fat‐free mass was higher in African American women. Visceral adipose tissue was not different between groups, but subcutaneous abdominal fat was 17% higher in the AA than in the white women. AA women had an 18% greater mid‐thigh muscle area (p < 0.01) and a 34% greater mid‐thigh low‐density lean tissue area than the white women. Fasting glucose concentrations were not different, but fasting insulin concentrations were 29% higher in AA women. Glucose utilization was 60% lower in the AA women because of a lower non‐oxidative glucose disposal. Insulin sensitivity was 46% lower in the AA women. Discussion: AA postmenopausal women have more mid‐thigh intramuscular fat, lower glucose utilization, and are less insulin sensitive than white women despite comparable fitness and relative body fat levels. 相似文献

Objectives: The effect of national exercise recommendations on adiposity is unknown and may differ by sex. We examined long‐term effects of aerobic exercise on adiposity in women and men. Research Methods and Procedures: This was a 12‐month randomized, controlled clinical trial testing exercise effect on weight and body composition in men (N = 102) and women (N = 100). Sedentary/unfit persons, 40 to 75 years old, were recruited through physician practices and media. The intervention was facility‐ and home‐based moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity aerobic activity, 60 min/d, 6 days/wk vs. controls (no intervention). Results: Exercisers exercised a mean 370 min/wk (men) and 295 min/wk (women), and seven dropped the intervention. Exercisers lost weight (women, ?1.4 vs. +0.7 kg in controls, p = 0.008; men, ?1.8 vs. ?0.1 kg in controls, p = 0.03), BMI (women, ?0.6 vs. +0.3 kg/m2 in controls, p = 0.006; men, ?0.5 kg/m2 vs. no change in controls, p = 0.03), waist circumference (women, ?1.4 vs. +2.2 cm in controls, p < 0.001; men, ?3.3 vs. ?0.4 cm in controls, p = 0.003), and total fat mass (women, ?1.9 vs. +0.2 kg in controls, p = 0.001; men, ?3.0 vs. +0.2 kg in controls, p < 0.001). Exercisers with greater increases in pedometer‐measured steps per day had greater decreases in weight, BMI, body fat, and intra‐abdominal fat (all p trend < 0.05 in both men and women). Similar trends were observed for increased minutes per day of exercise and for increases in maximal oxygen consumption. Discussion: These data support the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Institute of Medicine guidelines of 60 min/d of moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity. 相似文献

Objective: It is under debate whether free fatty acids (FFAs) play an independent role in the regulation of adipose cell functions. In this study, we evaluated whether leptin secretion induced by FFA is due directly to an increased FFA availability or whether it is mediated by insulin levels. Research Methods and Procedures: To test this hypothesis, we compared the effects of six different experimental designs, with different FFA and insulin levels, on plasma leptin: euglycemic clamp, euglycemic clamp + FFA infusion, FFA infusion alone, FFA + somatostatin infusion, somatostatin infusion alone, and saline infusion. Results: Our results showed that euglycemic clamp, FFA infusion, or both in combination induced a similar increment of circulating leptin (3.31 ± 0.30, 3.40 ± 0.90, and 3.35 ± 0.80 ng/mL, respectively). Moreover, the inhibition of FFA‐induced insulin increase by means of somatostatin infusion completely abolished the rise of leptin in response to FFA (1.05 ± 0.30 vs. 3.40 ± 0.90 ng/mL, p < 0.001). Discussion: In conclusion, our data showed that the effects of high FFA levels on plasma leptin were mediated by the rise of insulin concentration. These data confirm a major role for insulin in the regulation of leptin secretion from rat adipose tissue and support the hypothesis that leptin secretion is coupled to net triglyceride synthesis in adipose tissue. 相似文献

This study determines whether changes in abdominal (ABD) and gluteal (GLT) adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in response to a 6-mo weight loss intervention, comprised of a hypocaloric diet and low-intensity walking, affect changes in body composition, fat distribution, lipid metabolism, and the magnitude of weight regain in 36 obese postmenopausal women. Average adipose tissue LPL activity did not change with an average 5.6-kg weight loss, but changes in LPL activity were inversely related to baseline LPL activity (ABD: r = -0.60, GLT: r = -0.48; P < 0.01). The loss of abdominal body fat and decreases in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were greater in women whose adipose tissue LPL activity decreased with weight loss despite a similar loss of total body weight and fat mass. Moreover, weight regain after a 6-mo follow-up was less in women whose adipose tissue LPL activity decreased than in women whose LPL increased (ABD: 0.9 +/- 0.5 vs. 2.8 +/- 0.6 kg, P < 0.05; GLT: 0.2 +/- 0.5 vs. 2.8 +/- 0.5 kg, P < 0.01). These results suggest that a reduction in adipose tissue LPL activity with weight loss is associated with improvements in lipid metabolic risk factors with weight loss and with diminished weight regain in postmenopausal women. 相似文献

Whether sex differences in intramuscular triglyceride (IMTG) metabolism underlie sex differences in the progression to diabetes are unknown. Therefore, the current study examined IMTG concentration and fractional synthesis rate (FSR) in obese men and women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) vs. those with prediabetes (PD). PD (n = 13 men and 7 women) and NGT (n = 7 men and 12 women) groups were matched for age and anthropometry. Insulin action was quantified using a hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp with infusion of [6,6?2H2]‐glucose. IMTG concentration was measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and FSR by GC/combustion isotope ratio MS (C‐IRMS), from muscle biopsies taken after infusion of [U?13C]palmitate during 4 h of rest. In PD men, the metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of glucose was lower during the clamp (4.71 ± 0.77 vs. 8.62 ± 1.26 ml/kg fat‐free mass (FFM)/min, P = 0.04; with a trend for lower glucose rate of disappearance (Rd), P = 0.07), in addition to higher IMTG concentration (41.2 ± 5.0 vs. 21.2 ± 3.4 µg/mg dry weight, P ≤ 0.01), lower FSR (0.21 ± 0.03 vs. 0.42 ± 0.06 %/h, P ≤ 0.01), and lower oxidative capacity (P = 0.03) compared to NGT men. In contrast, no difference in Rd, IMTG concentration, or FSR was seen in PD vs. NGT women. Surprisingly, glucose Rd during the clamp was not different between NGT men and women (P = 0.25) despite IMTG concentration being higher (42.6 ± 6.1 vs. 21.2 ± 3.4 µg/mg dry weight, P = 0.03) and FSR being lower (0.23 ± 0.04 vs. 0.42 ± 0.06 %/h, P = 0.02) in women. Alterations in IMTG metabolism relate to diminished insulin action in men, but not women, in the progression toward diabetes. 相似文献

Objective: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) are essential in hydrolysis of triglyceride‐rich lipoproteins. LPL activity is negatively, whereas HL activity is positively, associated with total body fat. We determined the associations of trunk and leg fat mass with plasma LPL and HL activities in a cross‐sectional study. Research Methods and Procedures: LPL and HL activities were determined in post‐heparin plasma in a sample of 197 men and 209 women, 60 to 87 years of age. A total body DXA scan was performed to determine trunk and leg fat mass. Results: In women, but not in men, trunk fat mass was negatively associated with LPL activity, whereas leg fat mass was positively associated, after mutual adjustment and adjustment for age. Standardized βs (95% confidence interval) for trunk and leg fat mass were ?0.24 (?0.41; ?0.08) and 0.14 (?0.02; 0.31), respectively (interaction by sex, p = 0.03). Larger trunk fat mass was associated with higher HL activity in men [0.48 (0.28; 0.68)] and women [0.40 (0.24; 0.56)]. A negative association of leg fat mass and HL activity was observed in men, although not statistically significant [?0.13 (?0.33; 0.06)], and in women [?0.28 (?0.38; ?0.18)]. Discussion: Abdominal fat is associated with unfavorable and femoral fat with favorable LPL and HL activities in plasma. 相似文献

Objectives: Obesity and a physically inactive lifestyle are associated with increased risk of developing insulin resistance. The hypothesis that obesity is associated with increased adipose tissue (AT) interleukin (IL)‐18 mRNA expression and that AT IL‐18 mRNA expression is related to insulin resistance was tested. Furthermore, we speculated that acute exercise and exercise training would regulate AT IL‐18 mRNA expression. Research Methods and Procedures: Non‐obese subjects with BMI < 30 kg/m2 (women: n = 18; men; n = 11) and obese subjects with BMI >30 kg/m2 (women: n = 6; men: n = 7) participated in the study. Blood samples and abdominal subcutaneous AT biopsies were obtained at rest, immediately after an acute exercise bout, and at 2 hours or 10 hours of recovery. After 8 weeks of exercise training of the obese group, sampling was repeated 48 hours after the last training session. Results: AT IL‐18 mRNA content and plasma IL‐18 concentration were higher (p < 0.05) in the obese group than in the non‐obese group. AT IL‐18 mRNA content and plasma IL‐18 concentration was positively correlated (p < 0.05) with insulin resistance. While acute exercise did not affect IL‐18 mRNA expression at the studied time‐points, exercise training reduced AT IL‐18 mRNA content by 20% in both sexes. Discussion: Because obesity and insulin resistance were associated with elevated AT IL‐18 mRNA and plasma IL‐18 levels, the training‐induced lowering of AT IL‐18 mRNA content may contribute to the beneficial effects of regular physical activity with improved insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

Objective: Plasma concentrations of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), a proinflammatory cytokine produced and released in part by adipose tissue, are elevated in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Because recent studies suggest that markers of inflammation predict the development of type 2 diabetes, we examined whether circulating plasma IL‐6 concentrations were related to direct measures of insulin resistance and insulin secretory dysfunction in Pima Indians, a population with high rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Research Methods and Procedures: Fasting plasma IL‐6 concentrations (enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay), body composition (DXA), insulin action (M; hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp), and acute insulin secretory responses to glucose (25 g intravenous glucose tolerance test) were measured in 58 Pima Indians without diabetes (24 women, 34 men). Results: Fasting plasma IL‐6 concentrations were positively correlated with percentage of body fat (r = 0.26, p = 0.049) and negatively correlated with M (r = ?0.28, p = 0.031), but were not related to acute insulin response (r = 0.13, p = 0.339). After adjusting for percentage of body fat, plasma IL‐6 was not related to M (partial r = ?0.23, p = 0.089). Discussion: Fasting plasma IL‐6 concentrations are positively related to adiposity and negatively related to insulin action in Pima Indians. The relationship between IL‐6 and insulin action seems to be mediated through adiposity. 相似文献

Objective: To test the hypothesis that the greater β‐adrenoceptor (β‐AR)‐stimulated lipolysis and sensitivity (half‐maximal lipolytic response) in abdominal (ABD) adipocytes, greater gluteal (GLT) adipose tissue‐lipoprotein lipase (AT‐LPL) activity, and dyslipidemia associated with obesity in older women are modifiable by weight loss (WL) and are not due to menopause or aging. Research Methods and Procedures: The metabolic effects of 6 months of hypocaloric diet and low‐intensity walking WL program on the regional regulation of in vitro lipolysis and AT‐LPL activity in subcutaneous ABD and GLT adipocytes were measured in 34 obese (48.7 ± 0.7% body fat, mean ± SE) postmenopausal (59 ± 1 years) white women. Results: The lipolytic responsiveness to the β‐AR agonist isoproterenol and basal lipolysis in the presence of 1 U/mL adenosine deaminase‐uninhibited (lipolysis) were greater (p < 0.01) in ABD than GLT adipocytes before and after WL, but there were no regional differences in postreceptor (dibutyryl 3′, 5′‐cyclic adenosine monophosphate)‐stimulated lipolysis. β‐AR sensitivity was greater in ABD than GLT adipocytes before (p < 0.01) but not after WL. Regional AT‐LPL did not change after WL, but the change in the activity of ABD (but not GLT) AT‐LPL correlated with the baseline adenosine deaminase‐uninhibited lipolysis (r = 0.38, p = 0.03). There were no relationships between the declines in plasma triglyceride or increases in high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol associated with WL and the changes in regional fat cell metabolism. Discussion: Thus, despite improving lipoprotein lipid profiles in obese, postmenopausal women, WL does not affect the regulation of regional fat metabolism, and a greater tonic inhibition of basal lipolysis by endogenous adenosine may increase the activity of AT‐LPL after WL and predispose older women to develop ABD adiposity. 相似文献

Objective:
To examine the relative association of abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) with cardiometabolic risk factors between African and European Americans.Design and Methods:
We conducted a cross‐sectional study of 2035 African Americans from Jackson Heart Study (JHS) and 3170 European Americans from Framingham Heart Study (FHS) who underwent computed tomography assessment of VAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). The FHS participants were weighted to match the age distribution of the JHS participants and the metabolic risk factors were examined by study groups in relation to VAT.Results:
JHS participants had higher rates of obesity, hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome than FHS participants (all p = 0.001). The associations were weaker in JHS women for VAT with blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL‐C, and total cholesterol (pinteraction = 0.03 to 0.001) than FHS women. In contrast, JHS men had stronger associations for VAT with high triglycerides, low HDL, and metabolic syndrome (all pinteraction = 0.001) compared to FHS men. Similar associations and gender patterns existed for SAT with most metabolic risk factors.Conclusions:
The relative association between VAT and cardiometabolic risk factors is weaker in JHS women compared to FHS women, whereas stronger association with triglycerides and HDL were observed in JHS men. 相似文献17.

Objective: Insulin resistance is closely associated with two disparate aspects of lipid storage: the intracellular lipid content of skeletal muscle and the magnitude of central adipose beds. Our aim was to determine their relative contribution to impaired insulin action. Research Methods and Procedures: Eighteen older (56 to 75 years of age) men were studied before elective knee surgery. Insulin sensitivity (M/ΔI) was determined by hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp. Central abdominal fat (CF) was assessed by DXA. Skeletal muscle was excised at surgery and assayed for content of metabolically active long‐chain acyl‐CoA esters (LCAC). Results: Significant inverse relationships were observed between LCAC and M/ΔI (R2 = 0.34, p = 0.01) and between CF and M/ΔI (R2 = 0.38, p = 0.006), but not between CF and LCAC (R2 = 0.0005, p = 0.93). In a multiple regression model (R2 = 0.71, p < 0.0001), both CF (p = 0.0006) and LCAC (p = 0.0009) were independent statistical predictors of M/ΔI. Leptin levels correlated inversely with M/ΔI (R2 = 0.60, p = 0.0002) and positively with central (R2 = 0.41, p = 0.006) and total body fat (R2 = 0.63, p = 0.0001). Discussion: The mechanisms by which altered lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle influences insulin action may not be related directly to those linking central fat and insulin sensitivity. In particular, it is unlikely that muscle accumulation of lipids directly derived from labile central fat depots is a principal contributor to peripheral insulin resistance. Instead, our results imply that circulating factors, other than nonesterified fatty acids or triglyceride, mediate between central fat depots and skeletal muscle tissue. Leptin was not exclusively associated with central fat, but other factors, secreted specifically from central fat cells, could modulate muscle insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

The mechanism(s) by which sex specific differences in regional body fat distribution develop are not known. We assessed the effects of a high-fat (HF) meal on fatty acid oxidation and uptake into regional fat depots using isotopic tracers and adipose biopsies. Thirty men (BMI 23.6 +/- 0.3 kg/m(2)) and 29 women (BMI 22.4 +/- 0.3 kg/m(2)) received a meal containing [(3)H]triolein. Twelve of the men and 13 of the women received an additional 80 g of triolein in the meal (HF) and the remainder received a normal-fat (NF) meal. Adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was measured in the fed and fasted state. After 24 h, meal fatty acid uptake into subcutaneous adipose tissue was assessed. The efficiency of meal fat uptake into upper body subcutaneous fat was similar in both sexes, but women had a greater leg fat uptake, especially in response to a HF meal (P < 0.0001). A correlation between fed-state LPL activity and meal fat uptake was found in both upper and lower body fat (P < 0.0001, r = 0.69). These studies show that, in times of net fat storage, women preferentially increase uptake in leg adipose tissue, and this is likely mediated by fed-state LPL activity. 相似文献
