Ampk Activation Is Not Critical In The Regulation Of Muscle Fa Uptake And Oxidation During Low-Intensity Muscle Contraction, Marcella Raney, Alice Yee, Mark Todd, Lorraine Turcotte

Marcella Raney

To determine the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation on the regulation of fatty acid (FA) uptake and oxidation, we perfused rat hindquarters with 6 mM glucose, 10 μU/ml insulin, 550 μM palmitate, and [14C]palmitate during rest (R) or electrical stimulation (ES), inducing low-intensity (0.1 Hz) muscle contraction either with or without 2 mM 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR). AICAR treatment significantly increased glucose and FA uptake during R (P < 0.05) but had no effect on either variable during ES (P > 0.05). AICAR treatment significantly increased total FA oxidation (P < 0.05) during both R (0.38 ± 0.11 vs. 0.89 ± 0.1 nmol·min−1·g−1) and ES (0.73 ± 0.11 vs. 2.01 ± 0.1 nmol·min−1·g−1), which was paralleled in both conditions by a significant increase and significant decrease in AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity, respectively (P < 0.05). Low-intensity muscle contraction increased glucose uptake, FA uptake, and total FA oxidation (P < 0.05) despite no change in AMPK (950.5 ± 35.9 vs. 1,067.7 ± 58.8 nmol·min−1·g−1) or ACC (51.2 ± 6.7 vs. 55.7 ± 2.0 nmol·min−1·g−1) activity from R to ES (P > 0.05). When contraction and AICAR treatment were combined, the AICAR-induced increase in AMPK activity (34%) did not account for the synergistic increase in …
