Stimulation of glucose transport in skeletal muscle by hypoxia

Abstract: Hypoxia caused a progressive cytochalasin B-inhibitable increase in the rate of 3-O-methylglucose transport in rat epitrochlearis muscles to a level approximately six-fold above basal. Muscle ATP concentration was well maintained during hypoxia, and increased glucose transport activity was still present after 15 min of reoxygenation despite repletion of phosphocreatine. However, the increase in glucose transport activity completely reversed during a 180-min-long recovery in oxygenated medium. In perfused rat h… Show more

“…Insulin, hypoxia and contraction stimulate glucose transport into skeletal muscle through the recruitment of glucose transporters to the cell surface [21][22][23]. The mechanism of stimulation of glucose transport by hypoxia has been postulated to be the same as that triggered by muscle contraction and different from that triggered by insulin, since the effects ofmaximum contraction and hypoxia are not additive, whereas those of contraction and insulin are [23][24][25].…”

However, the differences or similarities in the mechanisms of action of insulin, hypoxia or contraction have been difficult to dissect, since until now there were no approaches available to prevent specifically one of the responses.…”

“…The rise in muscle glucose uptake provoked by hypoxia is brought about by translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane [56]. This response is curbed in muscles expressing a dominant-negative AMPKα K45R mutant transgene [54], establishing that in response to hypoxia AMPK elicits GLUT4 mobilisation.…”

“…[1][2][3][4]. Peripheral insulin-sensitive tissues, such as fat, skeletal muscles, and heart, express a unique transporter isoform (GLUT4), 1 which is largely confined to an intracellular storage site in the basal, nonstimulated state and becomes recruited to the cell surface under the influence of insulin (5,6) but also other stimuli, such as contraction (7)(8)(9) and hypoxia or anoxia (10,11). This recruitment process is likely to account for a large part of the increase in the rate of glucose uptake observed on stimulation with these agents (12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”
