Modulation of Insulin Sensitivity by Exercise Training: Implications for Cardiovascular Prevention

Open access

Abstract

The beneficial effects of physical activity on the cardiovascular system nowadays have achieved the relevance of clinical evidence. In fact, several studies have documented the benefits of exercise training in the prevention of the cardiovascular risk. Abnormalities of insulin signaling transduction account for the impairment of insulin sensitivity and development of insulin resistance, which, in turn, is responsible for the enhancement of cardiovascular risk. Insulin sensitivity is related to the degree of physical activity, and physical training has been shown to ameliorate insulin action in insulin-resistant subjects. This effect is mediated by the improvement of the molecular abnormalities that are responsible of the insulin resistance, contributing in this way to restore the physiological insulin sensitivity. However, it should be underlined that mechanisms that account for this phenomenon are extremely complex and still unclear. Further studies are required to better clarify the molecular basis of the exercise-evoked improvement of insulin signal. Graphical abstract.

Fig. 2 Schematic representation of early steps of insulin signaling, and the principal mechanisms that account for insulin resistance. Binding of insulin to the α-subunit of its own receptor induces the autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues of β-subunit which, in turn, induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of IR substrates (IRS), IRS-1, and IRS-2. The binding of phosphorylated IRS1/2 to the regulatory subunit p85 of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) activates the catalytic subunit p110, which, in turn, phosphorylates/activates the serine/threonine kinase Akt (called also PKB), which stimulates the glucose uptake through the translocation of the major glucose transporter GLUT-4 to the plasma membrane. In addition, AKT promotes cell survival and cell growth, and is involved in the regulation of vascular tone and metabolic homeostasis. Insulin resistance evoked by oxidative stress, neuro-hormonal stimulation, hyperinsulinemia, and etc. may be due to defect(s) of downstream signaling components, such as receptor structure, number, binding affinity, and/or signaling capacity.

Fig. 3 Effects of acute exercise on glucose uptake and insulin signaling. Acute exercise evokes an increase of glucose uptake which is time-dependently regulated by insulin-independent and insulin-dependent mechanisms. The exercise-induced enhanced insulin sensitivity is mediated by different pathways that work in parallel with the canonical insulin signaling cascade. AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase; AS 160: AS 160 protein; GLUT4: insulin-responsive glucose transporter; IRS: insulin receptor substrates; PI3K: phosphoinositide 3-kinase

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
