Alterations of epinephrine-induced gluconeogenesis in aging

Abstract: The effects of glucagon and epinephrine on gluconeogenesis in young (4 month) and old (24 month) Fisher 344 rat hepatocytes were compared. In contrast to glucagon, which had a similar effect on gluconeogenesis in both young and old cells, epinephrine caused a smaller increase in gluconeogenesis in old rat hepatocytes than in young hepatocytes. β 2 adrenergic receptor (β 2 -AR) expression slightly decreased in aged rat liver, and there were differences between young and old hepatocytes in their patterns of G pr… Show more

“…Alternatively, our data agree with reports of age-related alterations in G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and β-arrestin expression and activity in liver, vascular smooth muscle and myocardial cells from F344 rats [Kim et al, 2009; Schutzer et al, 2005; Dobson et al, 2003]. Since GRKs, particularly, GRK-2, and β-arrestin are required for β 2 -AR desensitization through internalization and degradation, our observed increase in β-AR signaling despite increased SNA could also be explained by a deficiency of old splenocytes to internalize β-AR in response to higher NE concentrations.…”

“…Indeed, GRK and β‐arrestin1 are altered in congestive heart failure (Vinge et al ., ), and GRK2/3 in the failing human heart (Ungerer et al ., ). Studies in other tissues support age‐dependent shifts in GRK expression: GRK2 and 6 (and β‐arrestin‐2) are suppressed with age in the human brain (Grange‐Midroit et al ., ); and age switches the liver isoform profile from GRK2 to GRK3 and down‐regulates β‐arrestin (Kim et al ., ). In contrast, in diabetic mice, hyperinsulinaemia up‐regulates GRK (and down‐regulates β‐arrestin2) in vascular smooth muscle, inhibiting activation of the Akt/eNOS pathway involved in cytoprotection in other cell types (Taguchi et al ., ).…”
