beta-Adrenergic stimulation has been reported to inhibit insulin-stimulated glucose transport in adipocytes. This effect has been attributed to a decrease in the intrinsic activity of the GLUT-4 isoform of the glucose transporter that is mediated by phosphorylation of GLUT-4. Early studies showed no inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose transport by epinephrine in skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of epinephrine on GLUT-4 phosphorylation, and reevaluate the effect of beta-adrenergic stimulation on insulin-activated glucose transport, in skeletal muscle. We found that 1 microM epinephrine, which raised adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate approximately ninefold, resulted in GLUT-4 phosphorylation in rat skeletal muscle but had no inhibitory effect on insulin-stimulated 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-MG) transport. In contrast to 3-MG transport, the uptakes of 2-deoxyglucose and glucose were markedly inhibited by epinephrine treatment. This inhibitory effect was presumably mediated by stimulation of glycogenolysis, which resulted in an increase in glucose 6-phosphate concentration to levels known to severely inhibit hexokinase. We conclude that 1) beta-adrenergic stimulation decreases glucose uptake by raising glucose 6-phosphate concentration, thus inhibiting hexokinase, but does not inhibit insulin-stimulated glucose transport and 2) phosphorylation of GLUT-4 has no effect on glucose transport in skeletal muscle.

We compared baseline and protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent troponin I (TnI) phosphorylation in 32Pi-labeled left ventricular myocytes from hearts of 26-wk spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto controls (WKY). TnI phosphorylation was normalized to myosin light chain 2 phosphorylation, which was invariant. There was no difference in baseline TnI phosphorylation in SHR and WKY, but stimulation with isoproterenol, norepinephrine plus prazosin, forskolin, chloroadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine caused a greater increase in TnI phosphorylation in the SHR than in the WKY. This was observed both in the presence and absence of the phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A; thus the differences in TnI phosphorylation between SHR and WKY are not due to decreased phosphatase activity in the SHR. After stimulation of the beta-adrenergic pathway, phospholamban phosphorylation was not different in SHR and WKY, indicating that the observed differences may be specific for PKA phosphorylation of TnI. The increased PKA-dependent TnI phosphorylation in the SHR resulted in decreased Ca2+ sensitivity of actomyosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity as compared with the WKY. We conclude that increased PKA-dependent TnI phosphorylation in the SHR may contribute to the impaired response to sympathetic stimulation.
