The Impact

Abstract Introduction Skeletal muscle is a major site for whole-body glucose disposal, and determination of skeletal muscle glucose uptake is an important metabolic measurement, particularly in research focussed on interventions that impact muscle insulin sensitivity. Calculating arterial-venous difference in blood glucose can be used as an indirect measure for assessing glucose uptake. However, the possibility of multiple tissues contributing to the composition of venous blood, and the differential in glucose uptake kinetics between tissue types, suggests that sampling from different vein sites could influence the estimation of glucose uptake. This study aimed to determine the impact of venous cannula position on calculated forearm glucose uptake following an oral glucose challenge in resting and post-exercise states. Materials and Methods In 9 young, lean, males, the impact of sampling blood from two antecubital vein positions; the perforating vein (‘perforating’ visit) and, at the bifurcation of superficial and perforating veins (‘bifurcation’ visit), was assessed. Brachial artery blood flow and arterialised-venous and venous blood glucose concentrations were measured in 3 physiological states; resting-fasted, resting-fed, and fed following intermittent forearm muscle contraction (fed-exercise). Results Following glucose ingestion, forearm glucose uptake area under the curve was greater for the ‘perforating’ than for the ‘bifurcation’ visit in the resting-fed (5.92±1.56 vs. 3.69±1.35 mmol/60 min, P<0.01) and fed-exercise (17.38±7.73 vs. 11.40±7.31 mmol/75 min, P<0.05) states. Discussion Antecubital vein cannula position impacts calculated postprandial forearm glucose uptake. These findings have implications for longitudinal intervention studies where serial determination of forearm glucose uptake is required.

Purpose: To investigate exosome-like vesicle (ELV) plasma concentrations and markers of multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis in skeletal muscle in response to acute exercise. Methods: Seventeen healthy (BMI: 23.5±0.5kg·m-2) and fifteen prediabetic (BMI: 27.3±1.2kg·m-2) men were randomly assigned to two groups performing an acute cycling bout in normoxia or hypoxia (FiO2 14.0%). Venous blood samples were taken before (T0), during (T30) and after (T60) exercise and biopsies from m. vastus lateralis were collected before and after exercise. Plasma ELVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography, counted by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and characterized according to international standards, followed by expression analyses of canonical ELV markers in skeletal muscle. Results: In the healthy normoxic group, the total number of particles in the plasma increased during exercise from T0 to T30 (+313%) followed by a decrease from T30 to T60 (-53%). In the same group, an increase in TSG101, CD81 and HSP60 protein expression was measured after exercise in plasma ELVs; however, in the prediabetic group, the total number of particles in the plasma was not affected by exercise. The mRNA content of TSG101, ALIX and CD9 were upregulated in skeletal muscle after exercise in normoxia; whereas, CD9 and CD81 were downregulated in hypoxia. Conclusions: ELV plasma abundance increased in response to acute aerobic exercise in healthy subjects in normoxia, but not in prediabetic subjects, nor in hypoxia. Skeletal muscle analyses suggested that this tissue did not likely play a major role of the exercise-induced increase in circulating ELVs.

Abstract Context Previous investigations on skeletal muscle health in type 1 diabetes (T1D) has generally focused on later stages of disease progression where comorbidities are present and are posited as a primary mechanism of muscle dysfunction. Objective To investigate skeletal muscle function and morphology across the adult lifespan in those with and without T1D. Design Participants underwent maximal contraction (MVC) testing, resting muscle biopsy and venous blood sampling. Setting Procedures in this study were undertaken at the McMaster University Medical Centre. Participants Sixty-five healthy adult (18-78 years old) men/males and women/females [T1D=34; control=31] matched for age/biological sex/body mass index (BMI)/self-reported physical activity levels were included. Main Outcome Measures Our primary measure in this study was MVC, with supporting histological/immunofluorescent measures. Results After 35 years of age (‘older adults’), MVC declined quicker in T1D subjects compared to controls. Loss of strength in T1D was accompanied by morphological changes associated with accelerated aging. Type 1 myofiber grouping was higher in T1D, and the groups were larger and more numerous than in controls. Older T1D females exhibited more myofibers expressing multiple myosin heavy chain isoforms (hybrid fibers) than controls, another feature of accelerated aging. Conversely, T1D males exhibited a shift towards type 2 fibers, with less evidence of myofiber grouping or hybrid fibers. Conclusions These data suggest impairments to skeletal muscle function and morphology exist in T1D. The decline in strength with T1D is accelerated after 35 years of age and may be responsible for the earlier onset of frailty which characterizes those with diabetes.

Integrated Response

Arterialization of venous blood is often used in studying forearm metabolism. Astrup et al. [Am. J. Physiol. 255 (Endocrinol. Metab. 18): E572-E578, 1988] showed that heating of the hand by a warming blanket caused a redistribution of blood flow in the contralateral arm and thus introduced errors in forearm skeletal muscle flux calculations. The present study was undertaken to investigate how hand heating by a warm air box (60 degrees C) would affect metabolism and blood flow in the contralateral arm before and during 3 h after a glucose load. Eleven healthy volunteers (5 males, 6 females) underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (70 g) on two different occasions, one test with and one without heating of the contralateral hand, in random order. Heating the hand for 30 min before glucose intake did not affect skin temperature, rectal temperature, deep venous oxygen saturation, forearm blood flow, or oxygen consumption of forearm skeletal muscle. Although, after the glucose load, heating significantly increased forearm blood flow (P less than 0.05), the integrated response after glucose was not significantly different between control and heating experiments [67 +/- 43 and 117 +/- 41 (SE) ml/100 ml tissue]. With both conditions, there was an increase in skin temperature (P less than 0.001, integrated response control: 369 +/- 79 and heating: 416 +/- 203 degrees C) and oxygen consumption of forearm muscle (control: 290 +/- 73, P less than 0.05 and heating: 390 +/- 130 mumol/100 ml, P less than 0.05) after glucose intake. These responses did not significantly differ between the conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Short Circuit Diffusion

In skeletal muscle the level of oxygen in outflowing venous blood is much higher than the level of oxygen in tissue. This puzzling finding suggests that oxygen moves in some unexpected way. The author uses the concept of short-circuit diffusion of oxygen between adjacent arterioles and venules to unravel the mystery and to provide new interpretations of microvascular responses to hypoxia and intermittent claudication.

Arteriovenous Difference

The present experiments were undertaken to study the effects of FFA on lactate production by skeletal muscle during stimulation. In the first group, dogs were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and given no anticoagulant. The second group was also anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital but in addition given heparin and a fat-albumin infusion to elevate FFA. Stimulating the nerves to a group of skeletal muscles in the hindlimb (1.5/s) increased muscle blood flow 2.4-fold in both groups. In the first group stimulation did not alter the arteriovenous difference of lactate across the muscles. The difference was close to zero before and during stimulation. However in the second group, in which FFA were elevated, stimulation produced a large increase in muscle lactate production. In both groups there were no differences in the L/P ratio of muscle venous blood during stimulation. These results indicate that an increase in lactate production following muscle stimulation is not necessarily related to a state of tissue hypoxia.

Tumor Bearing

Cancer cachexia is a progressive wasting disease resulting in significant effects on the quality of life and high mortality. Most studies on cancer cachexia have focused on skeletal muscle; however, the heart is now recognized as a major site of cachexia-related effects. To elucidate possible mechanisms, a proteomic study was performed on the left ventricles of colon-26 (C26) adenocarcinoma tumor-bearing mice. The results revealed several changes in proteins involved in metabolism. An integrated pathway analysis of the results revealed a common mediator in hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Work by other laboratories has shown that extensive metabolic restructuring in the C26 mouse model causes changes in gene expression that may be affected directly by HIF-1α, such as glucose metabolic genes. M-mode echocardiography showed progressive decline in heart function by day 19, exhibited by significantly decreased ejection fraction and fractional shortening, along with posterior wall thickness. Using Western blot analysis, we confirmed that HIF-1α is significantly upregulated in the heart, whereas there were no changes in its regulatory proteins, prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein 2 (PHD2) and von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL). PHD2 requires both oxygen and iron as cofactors for the hydroxylation of HIF-1α, marking it for ubiquination via VHL and subsequent destruction by the proteasome complex. We examined venous blood gas values in the tumor-bearing mice and found significantly lower oxygen concentration compared with control animals in the third week after tumor inoculation. We also examined select skeletal muscles to determine whether they are similarly affected. In the diaphragm, extensor digitorum longus, and soleus, we found significantly increased HIF-1α in tumor-bearing mice, indicating a hypoxic response, not only in the heart, but also in skeletal muscle. These results indicate that HIF-1α may contribute, in part, to the metabolic changes that occur during cancer cachexia. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We used proteomics and metadata analysis software to identify contributors to metabolic changes in striated muscle during cancer cachexia. We found increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in the heart and skeletal muscle, suggesting a potential target for the therapeutic treatment of cancer cachexia.

This study attempted to determine the relationship between creatine (Cr) accumulation in human skeletal muscle and erythrocytes following Cr supplementation. If a strong relationship exists, a blood test might provide a practical, less invasive alternative than muscle biopsy for evaluating cellular Cr accumulation. Eighteen active, but not well-trained males were supplemented with Cr (4 × 5g/d) for 5 d. Muscle biopsies (vastus lateralis) were obtained pre- and post-loading and analyzed for Cr, phosphocreatine (PCr), and total Cr (TCr) content. Venous blood was also drawn at these times to determine erythrocyte Cr concentrations. Muscle Cr, PCr, and TCr concentrations were elevated (P < 0.05) by 39.8%, 7.5%, and 20.1% respectively following supplementation. Erythrocyte Cr concentrations were also elevated (P < 0.01) following the loading period, although to a greater relative degree than tissue concentrations (129.6%). Pre- and post-loading erythrocyte Cr concentrations were poorly and nonsignificantly correlated with that observed in skeletal muscle. Further, loading-mediated increases in erythrocyte Cr concentrations were poorly correlated with elevations in muscle Cr (r = 0.07), PCr (r = 0.06) or TCr (r = 0.04) concentrations. Erythrocyte Cr concentrations can be augmented by 5 d of Cr supplementation, however, this elevation does not reflect that observed in skeletal muscle obtained by muscle biopsy. Consequently, erythrocyte response to Cr loading is not a reliable measure of skeletal muscle Cr/TCr accumulation.

We examined the effects of increasing a known lactate transporter protein, monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), on lactate extrusion from human skeletal muscle during exercise. Before and after short-term bicycle ergometry training [2 h/day, 7 days at 65% maximal oxygen consumption (V˙o 2 max)], subjects ( n = 7) completed a continuous bicycle ergometer ride at 30%V˙o 2 max (15 min), 60%V˙o 2 max (15 min), and 75% V˙o 2 max (15 min). Muscle biopsy samples (vastus lateralis) and arterial and femoral venous blood samples were obtained before exercise and at the end of each workload. After 7 days of training the MCT1 content in muscle was increased (+18%; P < 0.05). The concentrations of both muscle lactate and femoral venous lactate were reduced during exercise ( P < 0.05) that was performed after training. High correlations were observed between muscle lactate and venous lactate before training ( r = 0.92, P < 0.05) and after training ( r = 0.85, P < 0.05), but the slopes of the regression lines between these variables differed markedly. Before training, the slope was 0.12 ± 0.01 mM lactate ⋅ mmol lactate−1 ⋅ kg muscle dry wt−1, and this was increased by 33% after training to 0.18 ± 0.02 mM lactate ⋅ mmol lactate−1 ⋅ kg muscle dry wt−1. This indicated that after training the femoral venous lactate concentrations were increased for a given amount of muscle lactate. These results suggest that lactate extrusion from exercising muscles is increased after training, and this may be associated with the increase in skeletal muscle MCT1.
