Skeletal muscle glucose uptake closely reflects muscle activity at exercise intensity levels <55% of maximal oxygen consumption (V̇o2max). Our purpose was to evaluate individual skeletal muscle activity from glucose uptake in humans during pedaling exercise at different workloads by using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET). Twenty healthy male subjects were divided into two groups (7 exercise subjects and 13 control subjects). Exercise subjects were studied during 35 min of pedaling exercise at 40 and 55% V̇o2max exercise intensities. FDG was injected 10 min after the start of exercise or after 20 min of rest. PET scanning of the whole body was conducted after completion of the exercise or rest period. In exercise subjects, mean FDG uptake [standardized uptake ratio (SUR)] of the iliacus muscle and muscles of the anterior part of the thigh was significantly greater than uptake in muscles of control subjects. At 55% V̇o2max exercise, SURs of the iliacus muscle and thigh muscles, except for the rectus femoris, increased significantly compared with SURs at 40% V̇o2max exercise. Our results are the first to clarify that the iliacus muscle, as well as the muscles of the anterior thigh, is the prime muscle used during pedaling exercise. In addition, the iliacus muscle and all muscles in the thigh, except for the rectus femoris, contribute when the workload of the pedaling exercise increases from 40 to 55% V̇o2max.

Glycogen Synthase Activity

To examine whether changes in the glycogen synthase protein concentration contribute to impaired insulin-stimulated glycogen metabolism in patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), muscle biopsies were taken before and after a 4-h euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp to measure glycogen synthase activity and glycogen synthase protein concentrations in 14 patients with NIDDM and in 17 control subjects. Nonoxidative glucose metabolism was reduced by 64% in patients with NIDDM compared with control subjects and correlated with insulin-stimulated glycogen synthase activity (r = 0.55, P < 0.05). The concentration of glycogen synthase protein in skeletal muscle was higher in patients with NIDDM than in control subjects (6.75 +/- 0.88 vs. 4.41 +/- 0.50 counts.min-1.micrograms protein-1, P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in glycogen synthase mRNA concentration between the two groups. The glycogen synthase protein concentration correlated inversely with the rate of nonoxidative glucose metabolism (r = -0.63, P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the amount of glycogen synthase protein is increased in skeletal muscle of patients with NIDDM. The increase in the glycogen synthase protein may serve to compensate for a functional defect in the activation of the enzyme by insulin.

ObjectiveSkeletal muscle fat content is one of the important contributors to insulin resistance (IR), but its diagnostic value remains unknown, especially in the Chinese population. Therefore, we aimed to analyze differences in skeletal muscle fat content and various functional MRI parameters between diabetic patients and control subjects to evaluate the early indicators of diabetes. In addition, we aimed to investigate the associations among skeletal muscle fat content, magnetic resonance parameters of skeletal muscle function and IR in type 2 diabetic patients and control subjects.MethodsWe enrolled 12 patients (age:29-38 years, BMI: 25-28 kg/m2) who were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (intravenous plasma glucose concentration≥11.1mmol/l or fasting blood glucose concentration≥7.0mmol/l) together with 12 control subjects as the control group (age: 26-33 years, BMI: 21-28 kg/m2). Fasting blood samples were collected for the measurement of glucose, insulin, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (PBG2h), and glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc). The magnetic resonance scan of the lower extremity and abdomen was performed, which can evaluate visceral fat content as well as skeletal muscle metabolism and function through transverse relaxation times (T2), fraction anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values.ResultsWe found a significant difference in intermuscular fat (IMAT) between the diabetes group and the control group (p&lt;0.05), the ratio of IMAT in thigh muscles of diabetes group was higher than that of control group. In the entire cohort, IMAT was positively correlated with HOMA-IR, HbAlc, T2, and FA, and the T2 value was correlated with HOMA-IR, PBG2h and HbAlc (p&lt;0.05). There were also significant differences in T2 and FA values between the diabetes group and the control group (p&lt;0.05). According to the ROC, assuming 8.85% of IMAT as the cutoff value, the sensitivity and specificity of IMAT were 100% and 83.3%, respectively. Assuming 39.25ms as the cutoff value, the sensitivity and specificity of T2 value were 66.7% and 91.7%, respectively. All the statistical analyses were adjusted for age, BMI and visceral fat content.ConclusionDeposition of IMAT in skeletal muscles seems to be an important determinant for IR in type 2 diabetes. The skeletal muscle IMAT value greater than 8.85% and the T2 value greater than 39.25ms are suggestive of IR.

Artery Disease

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is characterized by impaired blood flow to the lower extremities, causing claudication and exercise intolerance. Exercise intolerance may result from reduced skeletal muscle capillary density and impaired muscle oxygen delivery. This cross-sectional study tested the hypothesis that capillary density is related to claudication times and anaerobic threshold (AT) in patients with PAD. A total of 37 patients with PAD and 29 control subjects performed cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a treadmill for AT and gastrocnemius muscle biopsies. Skeletal muscle capillary density was measured using immunofluorescence staining. PAD had decreased capillary density (278 ± 87 vs 331 ± 86 endothelial cells/mm2, p = 0.05), peak VO2 (15.7 ± 3.9 vs 24.3 ± 5.2 mL/kg/min, p ⩽ 0.001), and VO2 at AT (11.5 ± 2.6 vs 16.1 ± 2.8 mL/kg/min, p ⩽ 0.001) compared to control subjects. In patients with PAD, but not control subjects, capillary density was related to VO2 at AT ( r = 0.343; p = 0.038), time to AT ( r = 0.381; p = 0.020), and time after AT to test termination ( r = 0.610; p ⩽ 0.001). Capillary density was also related to time to claudication ( r = 0.332; p = 0.038) and time after claudication to test termination ( r = 0.584; p ⩽ 0.001). In conclusion, relationships between capillary density, AT, and claudication symptoms indicate that, in PAD, exercise limitations are likely partially dependent on limited skeletal muscle capillary density and oxidative metabolism.

Muscle fiber morphology and activities of four key enzymes, as well as energy metabolism, were determined in nine normal-weight postobese women and nine matched control subjects. No differences in fiber type composition, but a smaller mean fiber area and area of fiber types I and IIb, were found in postobese compared with control subjects ( P < 0.05). The activities of β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH) and citrate synthase (CS) were 20% lower in postobese than in control subjects ( P < 0.05). However, the activities of lactate dehydrogenase and lipoprotein lipase were not significantly different between postobese and control subjects. Basal metabolic rate and respiratory exchange ratio were also similar, but maximal oxygen uptake (V˙o 2 max) tended to be lower in postobese than in control subjects ( P = 0.06). When adjustments were made for differences inV˙o 2 max, HADH and CS were not different between postobese and control subjects. In conclusion, these data suggest that smaller fiber areas and lower enzyme activities, i.e., markers of aerobic capacity of skeletal muscle, but not fiber composition, may be factors predisposing to obesity.
