| Abstract | Past studies have suggested that the stress-induced GLUT4 localization pathway is damaged in fast-twitch muscles (white muscles) of obese subjects. In this study, we used obese rodents in an attempt to determine whether the stress-induced GLUT4 localization pathway is abnormal in slow-twitch muscles (red muscles), which are responsible for most daily activities. Protein expression levels of the intracellular stress sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), its upstream kinase LKB1, its downstream protein AS160 and the glucose transporter protein 4 (GLUT4) in the red gastrocnemius muscle were measured under either resting or stress conditions (1 h of swimming or 14% hypoxia) in both lean and obese Zucker rats (n = 7 for each group). At rest, obese rats displayed higher fasting plasma insulin levels and increased muscle AMPK and AS160 phosphorylation levels compared with lean controls. No significant difference was found in the protein levels of LKB1, total GLUT4, or membrane GLUT4 between the obese and lean control groups. After one hour of swimming, AMPK and AS160 phosphorylation levels and the amount of GLUT4 translocated to the plasma membrane were significantly elevated in lean rats but remained unchanged in obese rats relative to their resting conditions. One hour 14% hypoxia did not cause significant changes in the LKB1-AMPK-AS160-GLUT4 pathway in either lean or obese rats. This study demonstrated that the AMPK-AS160-GLUT4 pathway was altered at basal levels and after exercise stimulation in the slow-twitch muscle of obese Zucker rats. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
