Journal ArticleDOI

Acute exercise increases the number of plasma membrane glucose transporters in rat skeletal muscle.

TL;DR: There was a 2‐fold increase in cytochalasin B binding sites, measured in purified plasma membranes enriched 30‐fold in 5′‐nucleotidase activity, which may explain in part, the increase in glucose transport rate which persists in skeletal muscle following exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Muscle-specific Protein Phosphatase PP1G/RGL(GM) Is Essential for Activation of Glycogen Synthase by Exercise

TL;DR: Although PP1G/RGL is not necessary for activation of GS by insulin, it is essential for regulation of glycogen metabolism under basal conditions and in response to contractile activity, and may explain the reduced muscle glycogen content in the RGL KO mice, despite the normal insulinactivation of GS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of AICAR Treatment on Glycogen Metabolism in Skeletal Muscle

TL;DR: AICAR treatment does not promote glycogen accumulation in skeletal muscle in vivo by altering glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase, and the increased glycogen is due to the well-known effects of AICAR to increase glucose uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Role of Insulin/IGF-1 Receptor Signaling in Muscle Growth and Glucose Homeostasis.

TL;DR: Loss of insulin/IGF-1 signaling impairs muscle growth, but not whole-body glucose tolerance due to increased membrane localization of glucose transporters, indicating that interactions between these receptors and other proteins in muscle can impair glucose homeostasis.
