The purpose of this investigation was to describe the dynamics of carnitine metabolism during an acute episode of exercise. Twenty-eight subjects (14 male; 14 female) exercised for 40 min on a bicycle ergometer at 55% of their maximal aerobic capacities. Blood samples were obtained at rest, 10, 20, 30, and 40 min of exercise, and 15-min postexercise. Muscle biopsies of the vastus lateralis were performed before and after exercise. Results demonstrated that the percent of acylated plasma carnitine increased significantly (P less than 0.05) across all subjects from 17.3% at rest to 22.3% by 40 min of exercise and continued to increase to 22.8% 15-min postexercise. Total muscle carnitine levels fell significantly (P less than 0.001) across all subjects from 4.21 (1.27) (means +/- SD) mumol/g wet weight at rest to 3.29 (1.27) mumol/g wet weight after exercise. Well-trained males and females had almost identical levels of muscle carnitine [4.35(1.86) and 4.34 (0.64) mumol/g wet weight, respectively]. These levels were somewhat higher but not significantly higher than their moderately trained counterparts [3.86(1.34) and 4.28(1.18) males and females, respectively]. Carnitine palmitoyl transferase (E.C. 2.3.1.21) activity also declined significantly (P less than 0.05) across all subjects after exercise. This study is the first to demonstrate a potential loss of acylated carnitine forms from muscle to plasma during acute exercise, possibly reflecting an increase in carnitine turnover. Alterations in carnitine status may represent another metabolic adaptation to chronic exercise training. 相似文献

We examined 1) the effect of L-carnitine supplementation on free fatty acid (FFA) utilization during exercise and 2) exercise-induced alterations in plasma levels and skeletal muscle exchange of carnitine. Seven moderately trained human male subjects serving as their own controls participated in two bicycle exercise sessions (120 min, 50% of VO2max). The second exercise was preceded by 5 days of oral carnitine supplementation (CS; 5 g daily). Despite a doubling of plasma carnitine levels, with CS, there were no effects on exercise-induced changes in arterial levels and turnover of FFA, the relation between leg FFA inflow and FFA uptake, or the leg exchange of other substrates. Heart rate during exercise after CS decreased 7-8%, but O2 uptake was unchanged. Exercise before CS induced a fall from 33.4 +/- 1.6 to 30.8 +/- 1.0 (SE) mumol/l in free plasma carnitine despite a release (2.5 +/- 0.9 mumol/min) from the leg. Simultaneously, acylated plasma carnitine rose from 5.0 +/- 1.0 to 14.2 +/- 1.4 mumol/l, with no evidence of leg release. Consequently, total plasma carnitine increased. We concluded that in healthy subjects CS does not influence muscle substrate utilization either at rest or during prolonged exercise and that free carnitine released from muscle during exercise is presumably acylated in the liver and released to plasma. 相似文献

Preliminary data from our laboratory have shown that the decrease in plasma free carnitine levels normally found during prolonged exercise is blunted in type 1 diabetic man. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that this might be due to the sustained peripheral hyperinsulinemia seen during exercise in diabetics treated by subcutaneous insulin. Ten male subjects underwent 90 min of cycle ergometry at 60% of their maximal oxygen uptake capacity on two occasions, one with and the other without a constant 0.13 mU.kg-1.min-1 i.v. insulin infusion. Blood samples were taken at rest, during exercise, and after exercise for measurement of plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, free fatty acids, and carnitine. Plasma glucose dropped significantly (p less than 0.01) from basal during both infusions, but values at 30, 45, and 60 min of exercise were lower (p less than 0.05) during insulin infusion compared with the saline infusion. Exercise produced a significant (p less than 0.01) fall in plasma insulin in both infusions. However, from 30 to 90 min of exercise, the plateau insulin level was higher during the insulin infusion compared with the saline infusion (91.4 +/- 3.0 vs. 32.9 +/- 3.0 pmol/L; p less than 0.001). Plasma C-peptide decreased significantly (p less than 0.01) during exercise and recovery in both infusions, but values between infusions were not significantly different. Plasma free fatty acids increased significantly (p less than 0.01) at 90 min of exercise during the saline infusion, while during the insulin infusion this was noted during recovery only.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Heat stress increases limb blood flow and cardiac output (Q) in humans, presumably in sole response to an augmented thermoregulatory demand of the skin circulation. Here we tested the hypothesis that local hyperthermia also increases skeletal muscle blood flow at rest and during exercise. Hemodynamics, blood and tissue oxygenation, and muscle, skin, and core temperatures were measured at rest and during exercise in 11 males across four conditions of progressive whole body heat stress and at rest during isolated leg heat stress. During whole body heat stress, leg blood flow (LBF), Q, and leg (LVC) and systemic vascular conductance increased gradually with elevations in muscle temperature both at rest and during exercise (r(2) = 0.86-0.99; P < 0.05). Enhanced LBF and LVC were accompanied by reductions in leg arteriovenous oxygen (a-vO(2)) difference and increases in deep femoral venous O(2) content and quadriceps tissue oxygenation, reflecting elevations in muscle and skin perfusion. The increase in LVC occurred despite an augmented plasma norepinephrine (P < 0.05) and was associated with elevations in muscle temperature (r(2) = 0.85; P = 0.001) and arterial plasma ATP (r(2) = 0.87; P < 0.001). Isolated leg heat stress accounted for one-half of the increase in LBF with severe whole body heat stress. Our findings suggest that local hyperthermia also induces vasodilatation of the skeletal muscle microvasculature, thereby contributing to heat stress and exercise hyperemia. The increased limb muscle vasodilatation in these conditions of elevated muscle sympathetic vasoconstrictor activity is closely related to the rise in arterial plasma ATP and local tissue temperature. 相似文献

Effects of high fat provision on muscle PDH activation and malonyl-CoA content in moderate exercise.
This study examined the effects of elevated free fatty acid (FFA) provision on the regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity and malonyl-CoA (M-CoA) content in human skeletal muscle during moderate-intensity exercise. Seven men rested for 30 min and cycled for 10 min at 40% and 10 min at 65% of maximal O(2) uptake while being infused with either Intralipid and heparin (Int) or saline (control). Muscle biopsies were taken at 0, 1 (rest-to-exercise transition), 10, and 20 min. Exercise plasma FFA were elevated (0.99 +/- 0.11 vs. 0.33 +/- 0.03 mM), and the respiratory exchange ratio was reduced during Int (0.87 +/- 0.02) vs. control (0.91 +/- 0.01). PDH activation was lower during Int at 1 min (1.33 +/- 0.19 vs. 2.07 +/- 0.14 mmol. min(-1). kg(-1) wet muscle) and throughout exercise. Muscle pyruvate was reduced during Int at rest [0.17 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.25 +/- 0.03 mmol/kg dry muscle (dm)] but increased above control during exercise. NADH was higher during Int vs. control at rest and 1 min of exercise (0.122 +/- 0.016 vs. 0.102 +/- 0.005 and 0.182 +/- 0.016 vs. 0.150 +/- 0.016 mmol/kg dm), but not at 10 and 20 min. M-CoA was lower during Int vs. control at rest and 20 min of exercise (1.12 +/- 0.22 vs. 1.43 +/- 0.17 and 1.33 +/- 0.16 vs. 1.84 +/- 0.17 micromol/kg dm). The reduced PDH activation with elevated FFA during the rest-to-exercise transition was related to higher mitochondrial NADH at rest and 1 min of exercise and lower muscle pyruvate at rest. The decreased M-CoA may have increased fat oxidation during exercise with elevated FFA by reducing carnitine palmitoyltransferase I inhibition and increasing mitochondrial FFA transport. 相似文献

To study the changes in carnitine during intense muscular effort subjects underwent 4 min intermittent electrical stimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle and on a separate occasion performed 4 min exercise on a bicycle ergometer. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle were taken at rest and after 2 and 4 min of stimulation or exercise. Resting mean muscle total carnitine content was 20.0 mmol/kg dry muscle. Approximately 77% was free carnitine and 19% acetylcarnitine. Four minutes of stimulation or intense exercise did not effect total carnitine but did result in a marked fall in free carnitine and almost equivalent rise in acetylcarnitine. The results indicate that acetylcarnitine is a major metabolite formed during intense muscular effort and that carnitine may function in the regulation of the acetyl-CoA/CoA ratio by buffering excess production of acetyl units. 相似文献

Muscle malonyl-CoA decreases during exercise 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Malonyl-CoA, the inhibitor of carnitine acyltransferase I, is an important regulator of fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis in the liver. Muscle carnitine acyltransferase I has previously been reported to be more sensitive to malonyl-CoA inhibition than is liver carnitine acyltransferase I. Fluctuations in malonyl-CoA concentration may therefore be important in regulating the rate of fatty acid oxidation in muscle during exercise. Male rats were anesthetized (pentobarbital via venous catheters) at rest or after 30 min of treadmill exercise (21 m/min, 15% grade). The gastrocnemius/plantaris muscles were frozen at liquid N2 temperature. Muscle malonyl-CoA decreased from 1.66 +/- 0.17 to 0.60 +/- 0.05 nmol/g during the exercise. This change was accompanied by a 31% increase in cAMP in the muscle. The decline in malonyl-CoA occurred before muscle glycogen depletion and before onset of hypoglycemia. Plasma catecholamines, corticosterone, and free fatty acids were all significantly increased during the exercise. This exercise-induced decrease in malonyl-CoA may be important for allowing the increase in muscle fatty acid oxidation during exercise. 相似文献

The major objective was to determine in ponies whether factors in addition to changes in blood PCO2 contribute to changes in plasma [H+] during submaximal exercise. Measurements were made to establish in vivo plasma [H+] at rest and during submaximal exercise, and CO2 titration of blood was completed for both in vitro and acute in vivo conditions. In 19 ponies arterial plasma [H+] was decreased from rest 4.5 neq/l (P less than 0.05) during the 7th min of treadmill running at 6 mph, 5% grade (P less than 0.5). A 5.6-Torr exercise hypocapnia accounted for approximately 2.9 neq/l of this reduced [H+]. The non-PCO2 component of this alkalosis was approximately neq/l, and it was due presumably to a 1.7-meq/l increase from rest in the plasma strong ion difference (SID). Despite the arterial hypocapnia, mixed venous PCO2 was 2.7 Torr above rest during steady-state exercise. Nevertheless, mixed venous plasma [H+] was 1.2 neq/l above rest during exercise, which was presumably due to the increase in SID. Also studied was the effect of submaximal exercise on whole blood CO2 content (CCO2). In vitro, at a given PCO2 there was minimal difference in CCO2 between rest and exercise blood, but plasma [HCO3-] was greater for exercise blood than for rest blood. In vivo, during steady-state exercise, arterial plasma blood. In vivo, during steady-state exercise, arterial plasma [HCO3-] was unchanged or slightly elevated from rest, but CaCO2 was 4 vol% below rest.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Nonexercising muscles appear to be metabolically active during exercise. Animal models for this purpose have not been established. However, we have been able to teach animals to run on their forelimbs while their hindlimbs are suspended above the treadmill with no visible limb movement. To document that indeed this mode of exercise does not provoke additional muscle activity, we have compared the levels of neural activation of the soleus and plantaris muscles using a computer analysis of the electromyographic interference pattern, recorded from bipolar fine wire electrodes implanted across each muscle. Via computer analyses of the electromyographic interference patterns the frequencies and amplitudes of motor unit action potentials were obtained. The data were sampled during 20 s of every minute of observation. Comparisons were made in four conditions: (i) resting on the treadmill while bearing weight on the hindlimbs (normal rest), (ii) running on the treadmill (15 m/min, 8% grade) on all four limbs (normal exercise), (iii) resting while the hindlimbs were suspended in a harness above the treadmill (suspended rest), and (iv) exercising with the forelimbs (15 m/min, 8% grade) while the hindlimbs were suspended above the treadmill (suspended exercise). All four experimental conditions were carried out for 90 min each and were performed by each animal. The results clearly show that muscle activities (frequencies and amplitudes), when the hindlimbs are suspended above the treadmill, at rest or during exercise, are lower than the activities in these same muscles when the animals are at rest, supporting only their body weight. Activities in the same muscles during exercise were from 300 to 2000% greater than during hindlimb suspension.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) catalyzes the hydrolysis of intramuscular triacylglycerols (IMTGs), but HSL regulation is poorly understood in skeletal muscle. The present study measured human skeletal muscle HSL activity at rest and during 120 min of cycling at 60% of peak O2 uptake. Several putative HSL regulators were also measured, including muscle long-chain fatty acyl-CoA (LCFA CoA) and free AMP contents and plasma epinephrine and insulin concentrations. HSL activity increased from resting levels by 10 min of exercise (from 2.09 +/- 0.19 to 2.56 +/- 0.22 mmol. min-1x kg dry mass-1, P < 0.05), increased further by 60 min (to 3.12 +/- 0.27 mmol x min-1x kg dry mass-1, P < 0.05), and decreased to near-resting rates after 120 min of cycling. Skeletal muscle LCFA CoA increased (P < 0.05) above rest by 60 min (from 15.9 +/- 3.0 to 50.4 +/- 7.9 micromol/kg dry mass) and increased further by 120 min. Estimated free AMP increased (P < 0.05) from rest to 60 min and was approximately 20-fold greater than that at rest by 120 min. Epinephrine was increased above rest (P < 0.05) at 60 (1.47 +/- 0.15 nM) and 120 min (4.87 +/- 0.76 nM) of exercise. Insulin concentrations decreased rapidly and were lower than resting levels by 10 min and continued to decrease throughout exercise. In summary, HSL activity was increased from resting levels by 10 min, increased further by 60 min, and decreased to near-resting values by 120 min. The increased HSL activity at 60 min was associated with the stimulating effect of increased epinephrine and decreased insulin levels. After 120 min, the decreased HSL activity was associated with the proposed inhibitory effects of increased free AMP. The accumulation of LCFA CoA in the 2nd h of exercise may also have reduced the flux through HSL and accounted for the reduction in IMTG utilization previously observed late in prolonged exercise. 相似文献

Changes in the main physiological parameters and circulating indicators of carbohydrate, protein, lipid (and ketone body) metabolism were measured in ten exercising subjects before L-carnitine (L-carn) loading, after 4 weeks of daily loading with 2 g L-carn, and 6-8 weeks after terminating L-carn administration. Measurements were made on venous blood samples collected during each experiment at fixed time intervals over an initial rest of 45 min, 60 min bicycle exercise performed near 50% VO2max and 120 min recovery. Free and total plasma carnitine levels reached a plateau corresponding to an average rise of 25% for both fractions, 9-10 days after the beginning of the L-carn diet. These levels returned to their initial values 6-8 weeks after cessation of the supply. Generally L-carn supplementation did not significantly modify the physiological parameters and circulating metabolites. No distinct increase of the relative participation of endogenous lipids in the fuel supply of prolonged submaximal exercise was observed. In normal human subjects the increased demand for fatty acid oxidation resulting from exercise seems to be adequately supported by endogenous levels of carnitine. 相似文献

Myocardial carnitine and carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiencies in patients with severe heart failure 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We studied myocardial tissue from 25 cardiac transplant recipients, who had end-stage congestive heart failure (CHF), and from 21 control donor hearts. Concentrations of total carnitine (TC), free carnitine (FC), short-chain acylcarnitines, long-chain acylcarnitines (LCAC) as well as carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) activities were measured in myocardial tissue homogenates and referred to the concentration of non-collagen protein. Compared to controls, the concentrations of TC and FC as well as total CPT activities were significantly lower in patients. LCAC levels and the LCAC to FC ratio values were significantly greater in patients than in controls. While the malonyl-CoA sensitive fraction of CPT, which represents CPT I activity, was similar in patients and controls, the residual CPT activity after inhibition by malonyl-CoA, representing CPT II activity, was significantly reduced in patients compared to controls. Moreover, the activity of CPT in the presence of Triton X-100, which also represents the activity of CPT II, was significantly lower in patients than in controls. Malonyl-CoA concentrations required for half-maximal inhibition of CPT activity were significantly greater in patients than in controls. There was a linear relationship between ejection fraction (EF) values and concentrations of TC, FC, or total CPT activities. Values for LCAC and the LCAC to FC ratio were inversely related to EF values. We conclude that failing heart shows decreased total CPT and CPT II activities and carnitine deficiency that may be related to ventricle function. 相似文献

The distribution between carnitine and the acyl derivatives of carnitine reflects changes in the metabolic state of a variety of tissues. Patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) develop skeletal muscle ischemia with exertion. This impairment in oxidative metabolism during exercise may result in the generation of acylcarnitines. To test this hypothesis, 11 patients with PVD and 7 age-matched control subjects were evaluated with graded treadmill exercise. Subjects with PVD walked to maximal claudication pain at a peak O2 consumption (VO2) of 19.9 +/- 1.3 ml X kg-1 X min-1 (mean +/- SE). Control subjects were taken to a near-maximal work load at a VO2 of 31.3 +/- 1.0 ml X kg-1 X min-1. In patients with PVD, the plasma concentration of total acid-soluble, long-chain acylcarnitine and total carnitine was increased at peak exercise compared with resting values. Four minutes postexercise, the plasma short-chain acylcarnitine concentration was also increased. In control subjects taken to the higher work load, only the long-chain acylcarnitine concentration was increased at peak exercise. In patients with PVD, plasma short-chain acylcarnitine concentration at rest was negatively correlated with subsequent maximal walking time (r = -0.51, P less than 0.05). In conclusion, acylcarnitines increased in patients with PVD who walked to maximal claudication pain, whereas control subjects did not show equivalent changes even when taken to a higher work load. The relationship between short-chain acylcarnitine concentration at rest and subsequent exercise performance suggests that repeated episodes of ischemia may cause chronic accumulation of short-chain acylcarnitine in plasma in proportion to the severity of disease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Effect of glucose infusion on muscle malonyl-CoA during exercise 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous work in this laboratory has shown that muscle malonyl-CoA, the inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I), decreased during exercise. Hepatic malonyl-CoA content decreases when glucose availability decreases such as during fasting or when the glucagon-to-insulin ratio increases such as during prolonged exercise or in response to insulin deficiency. To investigate the effect of glucose infusion on muscle malonyl-CoA during exercise, male rats were anesthetized (pentobarbital via venous catheters) at rest or after running (21 m/min, 15% grade) for 30 or 60 min. During exercise rats were infused with either glucose (0.625 g/ml) or saline at a rate of 1.5 ml/h. Gastrocnemius muscles and liver samples were frozen at liquid nitrogen temperature. Muscle malonyl-CoA decreased from 1.24 +/- 0.06 to 0.69 +/- 0.05 nmol/g with glucose infusion and to 0.43 +/- 0.04 nmol/g with saline infusion during 60 min of exercise. In the liver, glucose infusion prevented the drop in malonyl-CoA. This indicates that glucose infusion attenuates the progressive decline in muscle malonyl-CoA and prevents the decline in liver malonyl-CoA during prolonged exercise. 相似文献

Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have abnormalities of carnitine metabolism that may contribute to their functional impairment. To test the hypothesis that muscle acylcarnitine generation (intermediates in oxidative metabolism) in patients with PAD provides a marker of the muscle dysfunction, 10 patients with unilateral PAD and 6 age-matched control subjects were studied at rest, and the patients were studied during exercise. At rest, biopsies of the gastrocnemius muscle in the patients' nonsymptomatic leg revealed a normal carnitine pool and lactate content compared with control subjects. In contrast, the patients' diseased leg had higher contents of lactate and long-chain acylcarnitines than controls. The muscle short-chain acylcarnitine content in the patients' diseased leg at rest was inversely correlated with peak exercise performance (r = -0.75, P less than 0.05). With graded treadmill exercise, only patients who exceeded their individual lactate threshold had an increase in muscle short-chain acylcarnitine content in the nonsymptomatic leg, which was identical to the muscle carnitine response in normal subjects. In the patients' diseased leg, muscle short-chain acylcarnitine content increased with exercise from 440 +/- 130 to 900 +/- 200 (SE) nmol/g (P less than 0.05). In contrast to the nonsymptomatic leg, there was no increase in muscle lactate content in the diseased leg with exercise, and the change in muscle carnitine metabolism was correlated with exercise duration (r = 0.82, P less than 0.01) and not with the lactate threshold. We conclude that energy metabolism in ischemic muscle of patients with PAD is characterized by the accumulation of acylcarnitines.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Five healthy males performed four 30-s bouts of maximal isokinetic cycling with 4 min rest between each bout. Arterial and femoral venous blood was sampled during and for 90 min following exercise. During exercise, arterial erythrocyte [K+] increased from 117.0 +/- 6.6 mequiv./L at rest to 124.2 +/- 5.9 mequiv./L after the second exercise bout. Arterial erythrocyte [K+] returned to the resting values during the first 5 min of recovery. No significant change was observed in femoral venous erythrocyte [K+]. Arterial erythrocyte lactate concentration ([Lac-]) increased during exercise from 0.2 +/- 0.1 mequiv./L peaking at 9.5 +/- 1.5 mequiv./L at 5 min of recovery, after which the values returned to control. Femoral venous erythrocyte [Lac-] changed in a similar fashion. Arterial erythrocyte [Cl-] rose during exercise to 76 +/- 3 mequiv./L and returned to resting values (70 +/- 2 mequiv./L) by 25 min recovery. During exercise there was a net flux of Cl- into the erythrocyte. We conclude that erythrocytes are a sink for K+ ions leaving working muscles. Furthermore, erythrocytes function to transport Lac- from working muscle and reduce plasma acidosis by uptake of Cl-. The erythrocyte uptake of K+, Lac-, and Cl- helps to maintain a concentration difference between plasma and muscle, facilitating diffusion of Lac- and K+ from the interstitial space into femoral venous plasma. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that IL-6 release from muscle during exercise may be related to muscle activity of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Eight healthy, well-trained young men completed two 60-min trials on a bicycle ergometer at 70% of their peak oxygen uptake in either a glycogen-depleted or a glycogen-loaded state. IL-6 was released from the leg already after 10 min of exercise in the glycogen-depleted state, whereas no significant release was observed at any time in the loaded state. Nevertheless, plasma IL-6 increased similarly in the two trials from approximately 0.8 pg/ml at rest to approximately 4.5 pg/ml after 60 min of exercise. Activity of alpha1-AMPK (160%) and alpha2-AMPK (145%) was increased at rest in the glycogen-depleted compared with the loaded situation. During exercise, alpha1-AMPK activity did not change from resting levels in both trials, whereas alpha2-AMPK activity increased only in the glycogen-depleted state. After 60 min of exercise in the glycogen-depleted state, individual values of alpha2-AMPK activity correlated significantly (r = 0.87, P < 0.006) with individual values of IL-6 release as well as with average IL-6 release over the entire 60 min (r = 0.86, P < 0.006). The present data are compatible with a role for AMPK in IL-6 release during exercise or a role for IL-6 in activating AMPK. Alternatively, both AMPK and IL-6 are independent sensors of a low muscle glycogen concentration during exercise. In addition, leg release of IL-6 cannot alone explain the increase in plasma IL-6 during exercise. 相似文献

Maintaining hyperinsulinemia ( approximately 160 mU/l) during steady-state hypercarnitinemia ( approximately 550 mumol/l) increases skeletal muscle total carnitine (TC) content by approximately 15% within 5 h. The aim of the present study was to further examine the relationship between serum insulin concentration and skeletal muscle carnitine accumulation by attempting to identify the serum insulin concentration at which this stimulatory effect of insulin on carnitine retention becomes apparent. On four randomized experimental visits, eight healthy men (body mass index 23.8 +/- 0.9 kg/m(2)) underwent a 6-h euglycemic insulin clamp of 5, 30, 55, or 105 mU x m(-2) x min(-1) accompanied by a 5-h iv infusion of l-carnitine (15 mg/kg bolus followed by 10 mg x kg(-1) x h(-1)). The clamps produced steady-state serum insulin concentrations of 10.1 +/- 0.5, 48.8 +/- 1.0, 88.9 +/- 2.8, and 173.9 +/- 6.5 mU/l, respectively. During l-carnitine infusion, plasma TC concentration remained above 450 mumol/l during all four visits. However, there was a significant treatment effect of insulin (P < 0.001), such that by the end of infusion the plasma TC concentration in the 55- and 105-mU clamps was lower than that seen in the 5- (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively) and 30-mU (P < 0.01) clamps. The findings demonstrate that only high circulating serum insulin concentrations (> or =90 mU/l) are capable of stimulating skeletal muscle carnitine accumulation. This is of relevance to athletes, and the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes, where increasing skeletal muscle carnitine content may be used as tool to modify skeletal muscle energy metabolism. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of carbohydrate ingestion on plasma and muscle ammonia (NH(3) denotes ammonia and ammonium) accumulation during prolonged exercise. Eleven trained men exercised for 2 h at 65% peak pulmonary oxygen consumption while ingesting either 250 ml of an 8% carbohydrate-electrolyte solution every 15 min (CHO) or an equal volume of a sweet placebo. Blood glucose and plasma insulin levels during exercise were higher in CHO, but plasma hypoxanthine was lower after 120 min (1.7 +/- 0.3 vs. 2.6 +/- 0.1 micromol/l; P < 0. 05). Plasma NH(3) levels were similar at rest and after 30 min of exercise in both trials but were lower after 60, 90, and 120 min of exercise in CHO (62 +/- 9 vs. 76 +/- 9 micromol/l; P < 0.05). Muscle NH(3) levels were similar at rest and after 30 min of exercise but were lower after 120 min of exercise in CHO (1.51 +/- 0.21 vs. 2.07 +/- 0.23 mmol/kg dry muscle; P < 0.05; n = 5). These data are best explained by carbohydrate ingestion reducing muscle NH(3) production from amino acid degradation, although a small reduction in net AMP catabolism within the contracting muscle may also make a minor contribution to the lower tissue NH(3) levels. 相似文献

Intramuscular triacylglycerols (IMTG) are proposed to be an important metabolic substrate for contracting muscle, although this remains controversial. To test the hypothesis that reduced plasma free fatty acid (FFA) availability would increase IMTG degradation during exercise, seven active men cycled for 180 min at 60% peak pulmonary O(2) uptake either without (CON) or with (NA) prior ingestion of nicotinic acid to suppress adipose tissue lipolysis. Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue biopsy samples were obtained before and at 90 and 180 min of exercise. NA ingestion decreased (P < 0.05) plasma FFA at rest and completely suppressed the exercise-induced increase in plasma FFA (180 min: CON, 1.42 +/- 0.07; NA, 0.10 +/- 0.01 mM). The decreased plasma FFA during NA was associated with decreased (P < 0.05) adipose tissue hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) activity (CON: 13.9 +/- 2.5, NA: 9.1 +/- 3.0 nmol.min(-1).mg protein(-1)). NA ingestion resulted in decreased whole body fat oxidation and increased carbohydrate oxidation. Despite the decreased whole body fat oxidation, net IMTG degradation was greater in NA compared with CON (net change: CON, 2.3 +/- 0.8; NA, 6.3 +/- 1.2 mmol/kg dry mass). The increased IMTG degradation did not appear to be due to reduced fatty acid esterification, because glycerol 3-phosphate activity was not different between trials and was unaffected by exercise (rest: 0.21 +/- 0.07; 180 min: 0.17 +/- 0.04 nmol.min(-1).mg protein(-1)). HSL activity was not increased from resting rates during exercise in either trial despite elevated plasma epinephrine, decreased plasma insulin, and increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)alpha1 activity was not affected by exercise or NA, whereas AMPKalpha2 activity was increased (P < 0.05) from rest during exercise in NA and was greater (P < 0.05) than in CON at 180 min. These data suggest that plasma FFA availability is an important mediator of net IMTG degradation, and in the absence of plasma FFA, IMTG degradation cannot maintain total fat oxidation. These changes in IMTG degradation appear to disassociate, however, from the activity of the key enzymes responsible for synthesis and degradation of this substrate. 相似文献
