Abstract
Exercise induces negative energy balance either directly or by enhancing meal thermogenesis, increasing resting metabolic rate, and/or decreasing food intake. A quantitative evaluation of these effects in programs of weight control led to the following conclusions: 1) energy cost of exercise per se is minimal, 2) effects on thermic of food are negligible, and 3) exercise training may be advantageous in conjunction with low-calorie diet programs because it helps to maintain resting metabolic rate and fat-free mass. However, exercise may not prevent, and may even accentuate, the fall in metabolic rate in programs of severe calorie restriction, thus hampering weight reduction. Overall, exercise should not be envisioned as a sole agent to induce negative energy balance, but it is an essential element in comprehensive programs for morbidly obese patients due to its effects on lipids, carbohydrate metabolism, and cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Exercise training and sulfonylurea treatment, either individually or in combination, were evaluated for their effects on plasma glucose concentrations, oral glucose tolerance, and glucose clearance in the perfused hindquarter of diabetic rats. Female rats that were injected with streptozocin (45 mg/kg iv) and had plasma glucose concentrations between 11 and 25 mM were considered diabetic and divided into sedentary, glyburide-treated, exercise-trained, and glyburide-treated plus exercise-trained groups. The sedentary streptozocin-treated rats were severely diabetic, as indicated by elevated glucose concentrations, impaired insulin response during oral glucose tolerance tests, and lower rates of glucose clearance in hindlimb skeletal muscle. Neither 8 wk of exercise training nor 4 wk of glyburide treatment alone improved these parameters. In contrast, the diabetic rats that were both trained and treated with glyburide showed some improvement in glucose homeostasis, as evidenced by lower plasma glucose concentrations, an enhanced insulin response to an oral glucose load, and a decrease in the severity of skeletal muscle insulin resistance compared with the diabetic controls. These data suggest that glyburide treatment or exercise training alone does not alter glucose homeostasis in severely insulin-deficient diabetic rats; however, the combination of exercise training and glyburide treatment may interact to improve glucose homeostasis in these animals.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle contractile activity results in increased rates of glucose transport that are associated with an increase in the number and activity of plasma membrane glucose transporters. In the current study it was determined whether exercise causes a translocation of glucose transporters from an intracellular pool to the plasma membrane and whether exercise and insulin stimulate the same glucose transporter protein. Plasma membrane glucose transporter number, measured by cytochalasin B binding, increased from 10.1 +/- 0.73 to 15.0 +/- 1.4 pmol/mg protein (P less than 0.01) in muscle of exercised rats, whereas microsomal membrane transporters decreased significantly from 6.0 +/- 0.7 to 4.2 +/- 0.4 pmol/mg protein (P less than 0.05). Western blot analysis using the monoclonal antibody mAb 1F8 (specific for GLUT-4) demonstrated a 45% increase in plasma membrane GLUT-4 from exercised skeletal muscle compared with controls, whereas microsomal membranes from the exercised muscle had a concomitant 25% decrease in GLUT-4 protein. These data suggest that exercise recruits transporters to the plasma membrane from an intracellular microsomal pool, similar to the translocation of transporters that occurs with insulin stimulation. Furthermore, both exercise and insulin stimulate the translocation of GLUT-4 in skeletal muscle, while GLUT-1 is not altered.

Abstract
Physical training is associated with lower plasma insulin concentrations and increased sensitivity to insulin in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue of individuals with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The benefits of exercise to individuals with NIDDM in terms of increased insulin sensitivity could be applied to reversing the insulin resistance associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Exercise may also benefit women with GDM by acting as an adjunct to diet in preventing excessive weight gain and preventing or decreasing the severity of hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia during pregnancy. Regular physical exercise should be considered as a potential approach to the prevention and treatment of GDM.

Abstract
The fiber type composition of a skeletal muscle is an important determinant of its ability to take up glucose. Although numerous factors may account for this phenomenon, we have hypothesized that fiber type differences in glucose transporter number, isoform content, and/or intrinsic activity play an important role. Skeletal muscle plasma membranes were prepared from red and white gastrocnemius muscle from male Sprague-Dawley rats that were either exercised on a treadmill (1 h, 20 m/min, 10% grade), injected with 20 U insulin, or remained sedentary. In sedentary rats, plasma membrane glucose transporter number (cytochalasin B binding) was 2.4-fold greater in red compared with white muscle. Exercise and insulin both increased glucose transporter number by 40% in red muscle and twofold in white muscle. Maximal velocity of glucose transport (Vmax) was 2-fold greater in red compared with white muscle, whereas exercise and insulin increased Vmax by 2.3-fold in red muscle and 3.6-fold in white muscle. Glucose transporter turnover number, a measure of the average intrinsic activity of transporters in the plasma membrane, was not different between red and white muscle and increased 80-90% with exercise and insulin in both red and white muscle. Both GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 isoform content were greater in red than white muscle. These results suggest that fiber type differences in rates of glucose uptake in resting, insulin-stimulated, and contraction-stimulated skeletal muscle may be due to differences in the number but not the intrinsic activity of glucose transporter proteins.

Abstract
The effects of ingesting a mixed-snack food (CB), fructose (FRU), or placebo (PBO) prior to exercise (70% peak VO2) on the metabolic response during and after cycle exercise were studied in eight normal healthy volunteers with a wide range of peak VO2 (30-70 cc.kg-1.min-1). The study was designed to minimize the impact of confounding factors by using various strategies. First, the volunteers were grouped in teams with stratification by peak VO2, and the tests were randomized by a Latin-square design. Second, subjects received two acclimation trials in the cycle ergometer to diminish the effect of learning experiences and allow them to get used to the room and equipment. In addition, financial incentives were offered for team and individual endurance times. The test meals were administered 30 min prior to the beginning of exercise, and the subjects exercised to exhaustion, which was defined with clear-cut endpoints. Gas and blood samples were taken at regular intervals before, during, and for 60 min after each exercise bout. CB and FRU induced higher pre-exercise glucose and insulin concentrations. Blood lactate increased 100% with FRU ingestion. Despite these differences; endurance time, substrate, and hormone concentrations as well as rates of substrate oxidation during exercise were identical among the three conditions. During the post-exercise recovery period, PBO was associated with a starvation-like pattern of substrate utilization in which lipid oxidation was 60% greater and carbohydrate oxidation 50% less than following either CB (75 +/- 11, 248 +/- 27 mg.min-1, P less than 0.05) or F ingestion (93 +/- 4, 221 +/- 14 mg.min-1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to characterize an animal model of impaired glucose tolerance produced by streptozocin treatment of rats (45 mg/kg, intravenously [i.v.]) and selection of animals with plasma glucose concentrations less than 150 mg/dL. In addition, we determined the effects of physical training on glucose tolerance and metabolism in these animals. During 10 weeks of monitoring, it was determined that these animals have nearly normal plasma glucose concentrations; however, they have an impaired glucose tolerance when challenged with an oral glucose load. They also have normal fasting insulin, free fatty acid, and triglyceride concentrations, normal body weight and food consumption patterns, and normal rates of skeletal muscle glucose uptake, but impaired basal and insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism in isolated adipose cells. Ten weeks of exercise training normalized both the impaired glucose tolerance and adipose cell function present in the untrained streptozocin-treated rats. Low-dose streptozocin treatment of rats with appropriate selection of animals based on plasma glucose concentrations appears to be an excellent model of impaired glucose tolerance for studies of factors affecting insulin resistance and altered glucose metabolism.

Abstract
The effect of a continuous infusion of norepinephrine (NE) on glucose disposal in vivo was examined in conscious restrained rats using the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique. NE, 1,000 micrograms.kg-1.day-1 (130 nmol.kg-1.h-1) or vehicle (CO) was infused for 10 days in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats using subcutaneously implanted osmotic minipumps. Body weight and food intake were similar in both groups of animals throughout the study. Fasting basal plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were similar in both groups. However, basal hepatic glucose production (HGP) was increased by NE treatment (9.03 +/- 0.63 vs. 13.20 +/- 1.15 mg.kg-1.min-1, P less than 0.05, CO vs. NE, respectively). Insulin infusions of 2, 6, and 200 mU.kg-1.min-1 suppressed HGP to the same degree in both groups. During 2, 6, and 200 mU.kg-1.h-1 insulin infusions the glucose disposal rate was 65, 60, and 13% greater in NE-treated animals than in controls. Acute beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol infused at 405 nmol.kg-1.h-1 during the glucose clamps did not normalize glucose disposal. These results demonstrate that chronic NE infusion is associated with increased basal glucose turnover and increased insulin sensitivity of peripheral tissues.

Abstract
A brief overview of the effects of aging on two components of energy expenditure, RMR and TEF, has been presented. Whereas the decline in RMR appears to be related primarily to the loss of muscle tissue, the reason for the lower TEF in older individuals is less clear. Evidence has been provided suggesting that physical activity influences RMR and TEF in younger and older individuals. The possibility is raised that regular physical activity will increase RMR and TEF in older individuals. The increase in resting energy expenditure (RMR and TEF), in addition to the direct energy cost of physical exercise, may help increase the total energy requirements in older individuals. The majority of studies support an increase in resting SNSA in older individuals. The level of physical activity and percentage of body fat may be two factors contributing to age-related alterations in resting sympathetic tone. Future studies should continue to examine the effects of physical activity and body composition on metabolic rate and SNSA in older individuals.

Abstract
The effect of chronic glyburide treatment on insulin sensitivity and responsiveness in vivo in unanesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats was determined by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique. Normal animals were surgically prepared for the clamp procedure and then gavaged with glyburide, 2 mg/kg/day, or with normal saline for 6-18 days. Basal plasma glucose concentrations were significantly lower in glyburide-treated animals compared to controls, but basal plasma insulin concentrations were the same. Rates of glucose disposal, calculated before and during insulin infusions of 2 to 40 mU/kg.min with plasma glucose concentration clamped at 125 mg/dl, were significantly greater in the glyburide-treated rats compared to controls. Insulin dose-response curves demonstrate that glyburide treatment increased both insulin sensitivity and responsiveness. Basal hepatic glucose production, estimated by D-[3-3H]Glucose infusion, was significantly greater with glyburide treatment; however the sensitivity of the liver to suppression by insulin infusions of 2 and 4 mU/kg.min was unchanged. These data suggest that the decreased basal plasma glucose concentration observed in rats chronically treated with glyburide is the result of increased glucose disposal in peripheral tissues and not associated with an increase in plasma insulin concentrations or a decrease in hepatic glucose production.

Abstract
CT of the chest was performed in 25 patients with chest radiographs suspicious for hilar or mediastinal adenopathy, who subsequently proved to have sarcoidosis. In each case, CT detected more extensive adenopathy than suspected on chest radiographs. Adenopathy greater than 1.0 cm was present in the right paratracheal and pretracheal regions in all cases. Adenopathy was also frequently seen in the hilar (92%), anteroposterior window (88%), subcarinal (64%), anterior mediastinal (48%), and posterior mediastinal (16%) lymph node groups. The adenopathy occurred in multiple and varying combinations without a consistent identifiable pattern suggestive of sarcoidosis. It is concluded that while CT detects adenopathy more consistently, it does not offer a clear advantage over chest radiography in confirming a diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar involvement by sarcoidosis.

Abstract
To study the interactions between insulin and contraction on the skeletal muscle glucose transport system, the hindquarters of male rats were perfused in the absence of insulin, in the presence of insulin (30 mU/ml), during contractions induced by sciatic nerve stimulation, or during contractions plus insulin. Compared with control preparations, rates of glucose uptake in the perfused hindquarter were increased by 2.5- and 2.6-fold in the insulin and insulin plus contraction groups, respectively, but not significantly increased in the contraction only preparations. After perfusion, soleus and red and white gastrocnemius muscles from the hindquarter were pooled and used for the preparation of plasma membranes. Skeletal muscle plasma membrane vesicle glucose transport rates were 2.2 +/- 0.5, 7.9 +/- 1.7, 9.0 +/- 2.2, and 10.8 +/- 2.0 nmol.mg protein-1.s-1 (40 mM glucose), and plasma membrane glucose transporter numbers were 4.7 +/- 0.5, 8.1 +/- 0.9, 9.1 +/- 1.0, and 8.6 +/- 0.6 pmol/mg protein in the control, contraction, insulin, and insulin plus contraction groups, respectively. The transport-transporter ratio, an indication of plasma membrane glucose transporter intrinsic activity, was increased by contraction, insulin, and insulin plus contraction. These results demonstrate that contractile activity in the absence of insulin increases muscle plasma membrane glucose transport by increasing transporter number and intrinsic activity. In addition, under these experimental conditions, the effects of insulin and contraction to increase muscle glucose transport are not additive.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to simultaneously isolate skeletal muscle plasma and microsomal membranes from the hind limbs of male Sprague-Dawley rats perfused either in the absence or presence of 20 milliunits/ml insulin and to determine the effect of insulin on the number and distribution of glucose transporters in these membrane fractions. Insulin increased hind limb glucose uptake greater than 3-fold (2.4 +/- 0.7 versus 9.2 +/- 1.0 mumol/g x h, p less than 0.001). Plasma membrane glucose transporter number, measured by cytochalasin B binding, increased 2-fold (9.1 +/- 1.0 to 20.4 +/- 3.1 pmol/mg protein, p less than 0.005) in insulin-stimulated muscle while microsomal membrane transporters decreased significantly (14.8 +/- 1.6 to 9.8 +/- 1.4 pmol/mg protein, p less than 0.05). No change in the dissociation constant (Kd approximately 120 nm) was observed. K+-stimulated-p-nitrophenol phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, and galactosyltransferase specific activity, enrichment, and recovery in the plasma and microsomal membrane fractions were not altered by insulin treatment. Western blot analysis using the monoclonal antibody mAb 1F8 (specific for the insulin-regulatable glucose transporter) demonstrated increased glucose transporter densities in plasma membranes from insulin-treated hind limb skeletal muscle compared with untreated tissues, while microsomal membranes from the insulin-treated hind limb skeletal muscle had a concomitant decrease in transporter density. We conclude that the increase in plasma membrane glucose transporters explains, at least in part, the increase in glucose uptake associated with insulin stimulation of hind limb skeletal muscle. Our data further suggest that these recruited transporters originate from an intracellular microsomal pool, consistent with the translocation hypothesis.

Abstract
Recent reports have shown that immediately after an acute bout of exercise the glucose transport system of rat skeletal muscle plasma membranes is characterized by an increase in both glucose transporter number and intrinsic activity. To determine the duration of the exercise response we examined the time course of these changes after completion of a single bout of exercise. Male rats were exercised on a treadmill for 1 h (20 m/min, 10% grade) or allowed to remain sedentary. Rats were killed either immediately or 0.5 or 2 h after exercise, and red gastrocnemius muscle was used for the preparation of plasma membranes. Plasma membrane glucose transporter number was elevated 1.8- and 1.6-fold immediately and 30 min after exercise, although facilitated D-glucose transport in plasma membrane vesicles was elevated 4- and 1.8-fold immediately and 30 min after exercise, respectively. By 2 h after exercise both glucose transporter number and transport activity had returned to nonexercised control values. Additional experiments measuring glucose uptake in perfused hindquarter muscle produced similar results. We conclude that the reversal of the increase in glucose uptake by hindquarter skeletal muscle after exercise is correlated with a reversal of the increase in the glucose transporter number and activity in the plasma membrane. The time course of the transport-to-transporter ratio suggests that the intrinsic activity response reverses more rapidly than that involving transporter number.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle responds to exercise by increasing the rate of glucose uptake. Recent studies have indicated that these changes occur via mechanisms modulating the number of transporters in the plasma membrane and/or transporter intrinsic activity. In the present study, a protocol was developed for measuring the initial rate of glucose uptake by rat hindlimb skeletal muscle plasma membrane vesicles. Membranes were isolated from sedentary (control) and acutely exercised rats, and the initial rates of D- and L-glucose influx were assayed under equilibrium exchange conditions to obtain the kinetic constants for carrier-mediated transport. These values were compared with the values for transporter number measured by cytochalasin B binding, and the carrier turnover numbers were calculated. The maximum velocity (Vmax) for carrier-mediated glucose influx was increased 3.7-fold by exercise, from 3.5 nmol.mg protein-1.s-1 for the membranes from control rats to 13 nmol.mg protein-1.s-1 for the membranes from exercised animals. The mean affinity constant (K0.5; approximately 20 mM) was not different between the two groups. The number of transporters in the plasma membrane was increased to a lesser degree, 5.4 to 9.4 pmol/mg protein. As a result, the average carrier turnover number was increased almost twofold by exercise, 719 s-1 in the controls vs. 1,380 s-1 in the exercised rats. These data indicate that the response of glucose transport to exercise involves an increase in the average carrier intrinsic activity as well as a recruitment of transporters to the plasma membrane. Whether the increase in carrier turnover number is due to activation of the transporters or recruitment of a more "active" form of the carrier is unknown.

Abstract
We studied the mechanism for the increase in glucose transport activity that occurs in adipose cells of exercise-trained rats. Glucose transport activity, glucose metabolism, and the subcellular distribution of glucose transporters were measured in adipose cells from rats raised in wheel cages for 6 wk (mean total exercise 350 km/rat), age-matched sedentary controls, and young sedentary controls matched for adipose cell size. Basal rates of glucose transport and metabolism were greater in cells from exercise-trained rats compared with young controls, and insulin-stimulated rates were greater in the exercise-trained rats compared with both age-matched and young controls. The numbers of plasma membrane glucose transporters were not different among groups in the basal state; however, with insulin stimulation, cells from exercise-trained animals had significantly more plasma membrane transporters than young controls or age-matched controls. Exercise-trained rats also had more low-density microsomal transporters than control rats in the basal state. When the total number of glucose transporters/cell was calculated, the exercise-trained rats had 42% more transporters than did either control group. These studies demonstrate that the increased glucose transport and metabolism observed in insulin-stimulated adipose cells from exercise-trained rats is due, primarily, to an increase in the number of plasma membrane glucose transporters translocated from an enlarged intracellular pool.

Abstract
Food intake and physical exercise affect two components of energy expenditure, resting metabolic rate (RMR) and the thermic effect of feeding (TEF). Classic studies of overfeeding and underfeeding clearly showed that caloric deficit and surfeit conditions alter RMR. Recent work on short-term overfeeding of monozygotic twins provides new evidence that genetic factors influence individual sensitivity to changes in RMR and TEF when caloric excess is present. Exercise affects energy expenditure during nonactive times; acute bouts of vigorous exercise may result in increased RMR, and this effect appears most pronounced in the first 12 h after exercise. Acute exercise may potentiate the thermic effects of food when they are taken together, and high levels of exercise training may increase RMR. Thus, physical exercise appears to play an important role in the regulation of energy balance by way of its direct energy cost and its influence on RMR and TEF.

We studied whole body and regional fuel metabolism 1-4 h after cycle exercise [70% maximum O2 consumption (VO2max)], using the insulin clamp technique (40 mU.M-2.min-1) with indirect calorimetry. Substrate fluxes were determined in nonexercised (forearm) muscle tissues. Total glucose utilization was not increased by exercise, either in the preinsulin or insulin-stimulated state. Glucose oxidation tended to decrease, and lipid oxidation was increased after exercise. Forearm glucose uptake (FGU) was increased 5 times by insulin in the resting state, due largely to increased fractional extraction (P less than 0.05). After exercise, FGU was not increased by insulin. Forearm alanine and lactate release was doubled 2 h after exercise. Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations were increasing after exercise (P less than 0.01) at a time when forearm muscle was taking up these amino acids. Insulin infusion suppressed the elevated release of gluconeogenic precursors from the forearm and suppressed the elevated concentrations of BCAAs, free fatty acids, and glycerol present after exercise. In summary, basal and insulin-stimulated glucose utilization is not augmented by prior high-intensity exercise, partly because nonexercised muscle is insulin resistant. Insulin infusion attenuates the altered metabolic milieu seen during early recovery.
