Insulin / Glucagon & Exercise
|
- Intensity-INDEPENDENT
(Secretion dictated by [blood glucose]) *At high intensities, increase catecholamines = no insulin |
|
Catecholamines & Exercise
|
- Dynamic exercise (vs. static) releases more catch.
- Intensity-DEPENDENT increase - Duration-DEPENDENT increase (glycogen depleted, increased glucose uptake) - Inverse response w/ [glucose] - Rapid decrease post-exercise to recover - No gender differences - Decreased catech. release w/ age (adrenal atrophy) |
|
Cortisol & Exercise
|
- Increased release > 60% VO2max
- Duration-DEPENDENT increase (15 min delay) - Stimulates liver glucose output - Inhibits inflammation - Circadian rhythm: highest in morning - CHO ingestion: decreased/blunted response - Dehydration: increased levels (stressful) - Repeated exercise bouts: increased levels * Greater for endurance exercise (vs. resistance) |
|
Growth Hormone & Exercise
|
- Intensity-DEPENDENT increase (> females)

|
Liver Glucose Output
|
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
|
1) Glycerol --> DHAP (Glycolysis)
2) Pyruvate --> OAA 3) Lactate --> Pyruvate --> OAA 4) Alanine --> Pyruvate --> OAA 5) Aspartate --> OAA (Aminotransferase) |
|
Glucose Rate of Appearance
|
AKA rate of glycogenolysis & gluconeogenesis
-Intensity-dependent increase in Glucose R-a (Catechol. stimulates liver glycogenolysis) -Duration-dependent increase in Glucose R-a during mod. intensity exer. -Rapid decrease @ end of exercise (no more energy demand, decreased catech.) |
|
Non-Regulated Glucose Uptake Transporters
|
GLUT-1: RBC, nervous system, SM & adipose tissue @ rest
GLUT-2: Liver, pancreas, kidney |
|
Regulated Glucose Uptake Transporters
|
GLUT-4: SM & adipose tissue
*Insulin & exercise stimulate GLUT4 translocation (additive effect on uptake) |
|
Glycolytic Flux
|
-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) |
|
Lactate as Fuel
|
- Restores NAD+ gluconeogenic precursor
- LDH the highest glycolytic Vmax - Produced @ rest and during MC (FA oxidation inhibited) - 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
|
1) Increased glucose uptake (GLUT-4 in liver)
2) Decreased blood glucose & insulin secretion 3) Decresed glucose uptake by non-active tissues (AT, liver, kidney) 4) Increased catechol/glucagon/GH secretion 5) Increased glycogenolysis & gluconeogenesis 6) Increased cortisol secretion 7) Increased TG hydrolysis (glycerol a gluconeogenic precursor) 8) Decreased liver/muscle glycogen 9) Cessation of exercise |
|
CHO Ingestion During Exercise
|
- Increased blood glucose
- Increased insulin secretion, decreased epinephrine - Greater reliance on CHO = decreased TG hydrolysis, FA uptake & oxidation - Spares liver glycogen for the brain *No effect on muscle glycogenolysis *Only effective for durations 60min+ |
|
Low [glycogen] and CHO Metabolism during Exercise
|
- Decreased muscle glycogenolysis
- Increased plasma FA oxidation - Decreased time-to-fatigue = Decreased performance *Delays central fatigue (brain), not muscle fatigue |
|
High-Fat Diet and CHO Metabolism during Exercise
|
- Decreased muscle glycogenolysis
- No change in plasma glucose oxidation - Increased catecholamine response (stressful condition) - Increased TG hydrolysis & FA oxidation - Additive effect on glycogen sparing w/ training |
|
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 |
|

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
|
aka Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-α
Deficiency → - Liver TG accumulation --> Insulin Resistance (IR) - ↑ Glycolysis & glucose oxidation Overexpression → - ↑ FA uptake & oxidation - ↑ TG accumation --> IR |

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. |

Diagnosed based on plasma ACTH/cortisol levels - ↑ cytokine transcription (inhibition of enzyme that inhibits cortisol) |
|
Hypoglycemia-associated Autonomic Failure (HAAF)
|
Antecedent hypoglycemia ↓ the counterregulatory response
- ↓ Glucagon, ACTH, epinephrine, cortisol secretion (body wants to adapt to lower glycemic levels) - Exaggerated hypoglycemia - ↓ Threshold for neurogenic/neuroglycopenic symptoms (--> Diabetic coma) |
|
Growth Hormone & Training
|
- ↑ 24 release
- ↑ exercise response (ONLY if above La+ threshold) - Doesn't apply to resistance training - ↑ [IGF-1] = ↑ hypertrophy 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] |
