Glycogenolysis: Increases w/ exercise duration, followed by decrease (fuel for brain, then depleted stores)

Gluconeogenesis: Increases during long durations (due to depleted glycogen stores) [precursors take awhile to become available]

Total glucose output: Decreases when [glycogen] decreases
Gluconeogenic Precursors

-Measures the rate of appearance of pyruvate

-Dependent on cell energy demand (@rest vs. exercise)

@rest: glucose uptake-dependent
Exercise: glycogenolysis-dependent

*Loosely regulated*
Rapid Glycolysis
-Independent of [O2] (anaerobic exercise)

- NAD+ reduction rate > NADH oxidation rate

-Increase in lactate

-Increase glucagon stimulation of gluconeogenesis (and from catecholamine & cortisol release)

- Excess Glucose = Increased La+ = Glycogen synth.

- Oxidized in the mitochondria
Cori Cycle
- Helps maintain blood glucose during exercise

- Anaerobic glycolysis in SM increases blood lactate
- Gluconeogenesis in liver increases blood glucose

*Epi/Norepi stimulate gluconeogenesis during exercise (increased muscle glycogenolysis = increased La+ --> enters cycle)
Lactate & Catecholamines
- Lactate infusion decreases catech. secretion during mod. intensity exercise

--> Slowed glycogenolysis
--> Good for trained populations: less fatigue at end of exercise bout
Glucose Homeostasis During Exercise

Lipid Mobilization
With epinephrine binding to β-2 receptor, PKA phosphorylates perilipin --> Hydrolysis enzymes able to bind, TG hydrolysis occurs

ATGL: Important for rest
HSL: Important for exercise
TG Hydrolysis & Adipose Tissue FA Output
- Increased w/ catecholamine release
- Increased w/ exercise duration
(Longer duration = lower intensity = more fat utilization)
Reesterification & Adipose Tissue FA Output
- FFA converted to TG in AT

- Decreases w/ exercise duration
(Longer duration = need to hydrolyze TGs, not store)
Blood Flow & Adipose Tissue FA Output
- Low-Mod Intensity: β-2 = Vasodilation promotes blood delivery to SM

*High intensity: β-2 saturated, α-1=Vasoconstriction

- Decreased blood flow to AT
Total FA Output
- Increase w/ duration
- Decrease w/ intensity
- Increase @ end of exercise bout
- Increased blood flow to adipocytes
IMTG Hydrolysis
- Local effect
- Rate = Rate of appearance of glycerol
- Lacks perilipin (enzymes can freely access TG = decreased regulation)
- Doesn't respond to epinephrine & lipase activity in muscle

- Increased Ca2+ modifies PKC which modifies ERK1/2 which activates HSL
Plasma FA Availability
Increased intensity increases glycerol appearance, then plateaus due to vasoconstriction

Appearance of FA decreases w/ increased intensity
ERK1/2 & FA Uptake (Turcotte 2005)
-PD98059 inhibits ERK1/2

@ Mod. Intensity Exercise:
- Decreased ERK1/2 phosphorylation
- Decreased FA Uptake
- No change in AMPK activity

AMPK --> ERK1/2 --> FA Uptake
AMPK & FA Uptake (Raney 2005)
AICAR stimulates AMPK
(Increased ZMP --> Analog of AMP --> Increased AMPK)

- Increased FA Uptake w/ AICAR
- @ Low intensities, AMPK not involved

Therefore, no raise in AMP levels to activate AMPK @ low intensity exercise
Exercise Intensity & FA Uptake (Raney & Turcotte 2006)
@ Low intensity: Increased FA Uptake w/ Increased intensity, Increased AMPK activity

@ High intensity: ↓ FA Uptake, Decreased AMPK activity

ERK1/2 not dictating at high intensities, intensity-dependent increase
CaMKII & FA Uptake (Raney & Turcotte 2008)
KN92 = Inactive inhibitor of CaMKII
KN93 = Active inhibitor of CaMKII

Caffeine mimics Ca2+ release during MC

- ↑ FA Uptake w/ caffeine → ↑ Cytosolic Ca²⁺ but no stimulation of CaMKII w/ KN93
∴ CaMKII involved in Ca²⁺-dependent FA Uptake

- Exercise = ↑ CaMKII activity
- MC ↑ ERK1/2 phosphorylation, but no ∆ w/ caffeine [ERK1/2 Ca²⁺-independent]
- With mod. intensity & MC, there are both Ca²⁺-dependent and -independent signaling pathways

Dependent:
↑CaMKII → ↑ AMPK → ↑ FA Uptake

Independent:
↑AMPK → ↑ ERK1/2 → ↑ FA Uptake
FA Oxidation & Exercise Intensity (Raney & Turcotte 2006)
- At high intensities, decrease in FA oxidation (↑ CHO utilization)

- ↓ Total FA oxidation
- ↑ Muscle glycogen oxidation

* Increased reliance on glycogen (esp. in women) = fatigue sooner
Enzymes in the PDH Complex
1) Pyruvate Dehydrogenase
2) Dihydrolipoyl Transacetylase
3) Dihydrolipoyl Dehydrogenase

When PDH phosphorylated, reaction to form Acetyl CoA inhibited
Limitations to Glucose-FA Cycle
In Heart/Diaphragm:
- High fat = ↓ pyruvate production, ↑ G6P, ↓ Glucose uptake (agrees w/ cycle)

In SM:
- High fat ≠ ↑ Citrate or G6P, ↓ % Glucose oxidized

∴ Glucose availability may be more important
Prolonged high fat = ↓ [GLUT4]
Limitations to Reverse Glucose-FA Cycle
In Rodents:
- High Glucose + Insulin = ↑ [malonyl CoA], ↓ FA oxidation

In Humans:
-High Glucose + insulin ≠ ↑ [malonyl CoA]

∴ malonyl CoA not the sole regulator
Ketone Bodies
- During fasted/low-CHO state, liver converts FAs for fuel

Favoring formation:
- β-oxidation rate > use of acetyl CoA
- Low OAA levels

Oxidized in muscle, nerves, brain

3 forms:
1) Acetoacetate
2) β-Hydroxybutyrate
3) Acetone
FA Activation of PPARα

Proteolysis
Ubiquitination: Ubiquitin bines to proteosomes, frees AAs

-Hydrolysis by proteosomes & proteases

*Cortisol ↑ Ubiquitin
*Insulin ↓ Ubiquitin ∴ ↑ proteosome transcription
Synthesis vs. Proteolysis Balance
Resistance Exercise:
- No diff. @ rest or mod. intensity
- Synthesis > Proteolysis @ high intensities

Endurance Exercise:
- No diff. @ rest
- @ Mod. intensity, no ∆ synth, ↑ proteolysis
- @ High intensity, ↓ synth. relative to rest, ↑ proteolysis (cortisol released)

* AA availability increases protein synthesis
* AA avail. + CHO = ↑↑ protein synth.

Hypoglycemia-associated Autonomic Failure (HAAF)
Antecedent hypoglycemia ↓ the counterregulatory response

- ↑ mitochondrial density (more oxidative enzymes)
- ↑ muscle HSL activity (use more IMTGs)
- ↑ FA uptake & oxidation
Limitations & Explanations for Energy Efficiency
MORE O₂ NEEDED TO PRODUCE ATP W/ LIPIDS THAN W/ CHO

but
- Lipids have a higher ATP generating capacity
- No real diff. in relative energy output (2.7 vs. 2.3)

Mechanisms:
- Carnitine depletion (shuttles lipids to mito. matrix)
- Acetyl CoA + carnitine → acetyl-carnitine + CoA (build up from rapid glycolysis drives run forward) (↑ PDH activity facilitates CHO metab)
- ↓ cytosolic pH (inhibits CPT-1 activity)
- Mito. [ADP] (limiting factor, forced to use cytosolic glycolysis)
Limiting Factors for Aerobic Energy Production
- O₂ Availability: Differences in altitude training (more La⁺ @ sea level)

- Rate of acetyl CoA oxidation: anaerobic glycolysis doesn't use acetyl CoA (only glucose used as substrate) [PDH inhibited in the mitochondria]
