Insulin: The Receptor and Signaling Pathways01:28

Insulin: The Receptor and Signaling Pathways

6.1K
Insulin action is mediated through a receptor tyrosine kinase, akin to the IGF-1 receptor. The number of receptors per cell varies significantly, from 40 on erythrocytes to 300,000 on adipocytes and hepatocytes. The insulin receptor consists of linked α/β subunit dimers, forming a heterotetramer glycoprotein with two extracellular α subunits and two β subunits spanning the membrane. The α subunits inhibit the inherent tyrosine kinase activity of the β subunits, but...

Hormones Regulating Blood Glucose01:16

Hormones Regulating Blood Glucose

8.5K
Insulin is released by beta cells of the pancreas when blood glucose levels are high. It facilitates glucose absorption and utilization in insulin-dependent cells with insulin receptors on their plasma membranes. Insulin promotes glucose uptake by increasing the number of glucose transport proteins in the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter the cell. As a result, glucose utilization and ATP production are enhanced.
In addition to accelerating glucose uptake and utilization, insulin has...

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Overtraining syndrome (OT) can disrupt metabolic homeostasis.
  • Understanding the molecular mechanisms in the liver is crucial for managing OT effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of different overtraining protocols on liver insulin, inflammatory, and gluconeogenesis signaling pathways in mice.

Main Methods:

  • Mice underwent distinct overtraining protocols (downhill, uphill, no incline running) or served as controls.
  • Performance was assessed using various exercise tests.
  • Liver protein analysis was conducted 36 hours post-exercise.

Main Results:

  • Overtraining upregulated key proteins in insulin signaling (pIRbeta, pGSK3beta, pFoxo1, pAkt, pIRS-1) with varying effects across protocols.
  • Inflammatory markers (pIKKalpha/beta, pSAPK-JNK) were elevated in overtrained groups.
  • Gluconeogenesis regulators (PGC-1alpha, HNF-4alpha) increased in the no-incline group.
  • Downhill running overtraining enhanced insulin signaling proteins but also increased TRB3, an Akt inhibitor.

Conclusions:

  • Overtraining differentially affects liver signaling pathways based on the exercise protocol.
  • While some insulin signaling pathways improve, overtraining can lead to complex molecular adaptations, including the upregulation of Akt inhibitors.
