Additive effect of contractions and insulin on GLUT-4 translocation into the sarcolemma

Abstract

The maximal effects of insulin and muscle contractions on glucose transport are additive. GLUT-4 is the major glucose transporter isoform expressed in skeletal muscle. Muscle contraction and insulin each induce translocation of GLUT-4 from intracellular sites into the plasma membrane. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the incremental effect of contractions and insulin on glucose transport is mediated by additivity of the maximal effects of these stimuli on GLUT-4 translocation into the sarcolemma. Anesthetized rats were given insulin by intravenous infusion to raise plasma insulin to 2,635 +/- 638 microU/ml. The gastrocnemius-plantaris-soleus group was stimulated to contract via the sciatic nerve by using a protocol that maximally activates glucose transport. After treatment with insulin, contractions, or insulin plus contractions or no treatment, the gastrocnemius-plantaris-soleus muscle group was dissected out and was subjected to subcellular fractionation to separate the plasma membrane and intracellular membrane fractions. Insulin induced a 70% increase and contractions induced a 113% increase in the GLUT-4 content of the plasma membrane fraction. The effects of insulin and contractions were additive, as evidenced by a 185% increase in the GLUT-4 content of the sarcolemmal fraction. This finding provides evidence that the incremental effect of maximally effective insulin and contractile stimuli on glucose transport is mediated by additivity of their effects on GLUT-4 translocation into the sarcolemma.

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.
