Abstract:
The adaptive response to endurance exercise of the catecholamine- and glucagon-sensitive adenylyl cyclase system was studied in rat liver plasma membranes. Endurance exercise enhanced adenylyl cyclase system activation by cellular agonists (glucagon, isoproterenol), by stimulators of the enzyme catalytic subunit (forskolin, Mn2+), and by Gs-protein activators (GppNHp, fluoride). In addition, endurance exercise increased the levels of G50, Gi alpha, and G beta subunits. These results show that the adenylyl cyclase system becomes sensitized in response to physical training.
