Abstract
Energy metabolism, including alterations in energy intake and expenditure, is closely related to aging and longevity. Metabolomics studies have recently unraveled changes in metabolite composition in plasma and tissues during aging and have provided critical information to elucidate the molecular basis of the aging process. However, the metabolic changes in tissues responsible for food intake and lipid storage have remained unexplored. In this study, we aimed to investigate aging-related metabolic alterations in these tissues. To fill this gap, we employed NMR-based metabolomics in several tissues, including different parts of the intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) and brown/white adipose tissues (BAT, WAT), of young (9-10 weeks) and old (96-104 weeks) wild-type (mixed genetic background of 129/J and C57BL/6) mice. We, further, included plasma and skeletal muscle of the same mice to verify previous results. Strikingly, we found that duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and WAT do not metabolically age. In contrast, plasma, skeletal muscle, and BAT show a strong metabolic aging phenotype. Overall, we provide first insights into the metabolic changes of tissues essential for nutrient uptake and lipid storage and have identified biomarkers for metabolites that could be further explored, to study the molecular mechanisms of aging.

Abstract
In this study, waste fat from the Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) was used as the raw material, and soft-shelled turtle oil (SSTO) was extracted by water heating. Analysis of the fatty acid composition of SSTO revealed that unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) comprised more than 70% of the oil, of which more than 20% were omega-3 poly-UFAs. DPPH radical scavenging and cellular ROS assays confirmed the reduction of oxidative stress by SSTO. In D-galactose-induced aging rats, SSTO feeding alone or in combination with swimming training resulted in improved memory and physical strength. In addition, SSTO feeding with swimming intervention significantly increased the SOD level and maintained better blood pressure in the aged rats. The serum DHEAS and soleus muscle glycogen level were also highly correlated with SSTO feeding and swimming training. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrated that SSTO has the potential to be developed into a health food that exerts anti-aging effects, and those effects are stronger when combined with daily swimming exercise.

Abstract
Phosphorylase is one of the most carefully studied proteins in history, but knowledge of its regulation during intense muscle contraction is incomplete. Tyrosine nitration of purified preparations of skeletal muscle phosphorylase results in inactivation of the enzyme and this is prevented by antioxidants. Whether an altered redox state affects phosphorylase activity and glycogenolysis in contracting muscle is not known. Here, we investigate the role of the redox state in control of phosphorylase and glycogenolysis in isolated mouse fast-twitch (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) and slow-twitch (soleus) muscle preparations during repeated contractions. Exposure of crude muscle extracts to H2O2 had little effect on phosphorylase activity. However, exposure of extracts to peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a nitrating/oxidizing agent, resulted in complete inactivation of phosphorylase (half-maximal inhibition at ∼200 µM ONOO-), which was fully reversed by the presence of an ONOO- scavanger, dithiothreitol (DTT). Incubation of isolated muscles with ONOO- resulted in nitration of phosphorylase and marked inhibition of glycogenolysis during repeated contractions. ONOO- also resulted in large decreases in high-energy phosphates (ATP and phosphocreatine) in the rested state and following repeated contractions. These metabolic changes were associated with decreased force production during repeated contractions (to ∼60% of control). In contrast, repeated contractions did not result in nitration of phosphorylase, nor did DTT or the general antioxidant N-acetylcysteine alter glycogenolysis during repeated contractions. These findings demonstrate that ONOO- inhibits phosphorylase and glycogenolysis in living muscle under extreme conditions. However, nitration does not play a significant role in control of phosphorylase and glycogenolysis during repeated contractions.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Here we show that exogenous peroxynitrite results in nitration of phosphorylase as well as inhibition of glycogenolysis in isolated intact mouse skeletal muscle during short-term repeated contractions. However, repeated contractions in the absence of exogenous peroxynitrite do not result in nitration of phosphorylase or affect glycogenolysis, nor does the addition of antioxidants alter glycogenolysis during repeated contractions. Thus phosphorylase is not subject to redox control during repeated contractions.

Abstract
The skeletal muscle regulates glucose homeostasis. Here, the effects of vitamin A metabolites including retinoic acid (RA) alone, and in combination with insulin, on glucose utilization were investigated in rat L6 muscle cells during the differentiation process. L6 cells were treated with differentiation medium containing retinol, retinal, RA, and (or) insulin. The glucose levels and pH values in the medium were measured every 2 days. The expression levels of insulin signaling and glycogen synthesis proteins, as well as glycogen content were determined. Retinal and RA reduced the glucose content and pH levels in the medium of the L6 cells. RA acted synergistically with insulin to reduce glucose and pH levels in the medium. The RA- and insulin-mediated reduction of glucose in the medium only occurred when glucose levels were at or above 15 mmol/L. Insulin-induced phosphorylation of Akt Thr308 was further enhanced by RA treatment through the activation of retinoic acid receptor. RA acted synergistically with insulin to phosphorylate glycogen synthase kinase 3β, and dephosphorylate glycogen synthase (GS), which was associated with increases in the protein and mRNA levels of GS. Increases in glycogen content were induced by insulin, and was further enhanced in the presence of RA. We conclude that activation of the RA signaling pathway enhanced insulin-induced glucose utilization in differentiating L6 cells through increases in glycogenesis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of the phosphorylation levels of glycogen phosphorylase on its activity in mutton sarcoplasmic protein samples during incubation at 4 °C. Samples of sarcoplasmic proteins from mutton longissimus thoracis muscles were prepared and separated into three treatment groups to obtain glycogen phosphorylase with different phosphorylation levels, which were (1) treated with protein kinase A, (2) treated with alkaline phosphatase, and (3) left untreated (control). Glycogen phosphorylase phosphorylation levels and activity as well as the levels of related endogenous substances were assessed. The results showed that phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase in mutton promoted its activity during incubation at 4 °C. The activity of glycogen phosphorylase was also influenced by other factors (glycogen, glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, ATP, etc.) in vitro. The combined effects of phosphorylation and endogenous substances on glycogen phosphorylase activity varied at different incubation times.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycogenin-interacting protein 1 (GNIP1) is a tripartite motif (TRIM) protein with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity that interacts with glycogenin. These data suggest that GNIP1 could play a major role in the control of glycogen metabolism. However, direct evidence based on functional analysis remains to be obtained. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was 1) to define the expression pattern of glycogenin-interacting protein/Tripartite motif containing protein 7 (GNIP/TRIM7) isoforms in humans, 2) to test their ubiquitin E3 ligase activity, and 3) to analyze the functional effects of GNIP1 on muscle glucose/glycogen metabolism both in human cultured cells and in vivo in mice. RESULTS We show that GNIP1 was the most abundant GNIP/TRIM7 isoform in human skeletal muscle, whereas in cardiac muscle only TRIM7 was expressed. GNIP1 and TRIM7 had autoubiquitination activity in vitro and were localized in the Golgi apparatus and cytosol respectively in LHCN-M2 myoblasts. GNIP1 overexpression increased glucose uptake in LHCN-M2 myotubes. Overexpression of GNIP1 in mouse muscle in vivo increased glycogen content, glycogen synthase (GS) activity and phospho-GSK-3α/β (Ser21/9) and phospho-Akt (Ser473) content, whereas decreased GS phosphorylation in Ser640. These modifications led to decreased blood glucose levels, lactate levels and body weight, without changing whole-body insulin or glucose tolerance in mouse. CONCLUSION GNIP1 is an ubiquitin ligase with a markedly glycogenic effect in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenderness is considered to be the most important quality characteristic of meat as it is the main cause of unacceptability of meat. Post-translational modification regulates protein functions that involve in postmortem changes in muscle and meat quality formation. Specifically, phosphorylation was proved to regulate postmortem glycolytic rates and meat tenderisation. However, the relationship between protein phosphorylation and meat tenderness remains unclear. This study examined the phosphoproteomes found in ovine muscle with different degrees of tenderness over time (at 0.5 h, 4 h, and 24 h postmortem). RESULTS This study detected five, eight and nine phosphoprotein spots (>two-fold change, P < 0.05) at each respective time point. The different phosphoproteins found included glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, tropomyosin α-1 chain, pyruvate kinase, myosin binding protein H, glycogen phosphorylase, α-actinin-3, and an uncharacterised protein (GN, myosin-binding protein C2, MYBPC2). Most of the different phosphoproteins maintained sarcomeric functions, or were involved in glycometabolism. CONCLUSION Phosphorylation levels of multiple proteins that are involved in glycolysis, muscle contraction or sarcomeric structure integrity were identified in ovine muscles with different tenderness. The differential phosphorylation of these proteins explains in part the difference in meat tenderness. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a complex multifactorial process, some of which involves fat infiltration. Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) accumulation is postulated to play a role on sarcopenia during aging, which is believed to be due alterations in glucose homeostasis in the skeletal muscle. Sarcopenia, along with intramuscular lipids, is associated with physical inactivity. Resistance training (RT) has been indicated to minimize the age-induced muscle skeletal adaptations. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effects of RT on mRNA levels of regulatory components related to intramyocellular lipid, glucose metabolism and fiber size in soleus and gastrocnemius muscles of aged rats. Old male rats were submitted to RT (ladder climbing, progressive load, 3 times a week for 12 weeks). Age-induced accumulation of IMCL was attenuated by RT, which was linked to a PPARy-mediated mechanism, concomitant to enhanced regulatory components of glucose homeostasis (GLUT-4, G6PDH, Hk-2 and Gly-Syn-1). These responses were also linked to decreased catabolic (TNF-α, TWEAK/Fn14 axis; FOXO-1, Atrogin-1 and MuRF1; Myostatin) and increased anabolic intracellular pathways (IGF-1-mTOR-p70S6sk-1 axis; MyoD) in muscles of trained aged rats. Our results point out the importance of RT on modulation of gene expression of intracellular regulators related to age-induced morphological and metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Intermittent fasting (IMF) is a relatively new dietary approach to weight management, although the efficacy and adverse effects have not been full elucidated and the optimal diets for IMF are unknown. We tested the hypothesis that a one-meal-per-day intermittent fasting with high fat (HF) or protein (HP) diets can modify energy, lipid, and glucose metabolism in normal young male Sprague-Dawley rats with diet-induced obesity or overweight. Male rats aged 5 weeks received either HF (40% fat) or HP (26% protein) diets ad libitum (AL) or for 3 h at the beginning of the dark cycle (IMF) for 5 weeks. Epidydimal fat pads and fat deposits in the leg and abdomen were lower with HP and IMF. Energy expenditure at the beginning of the dark cycle, especially from fat oxidation, was higher with IMF than AL, possibly due to greater activity levels. Brown fat content was higher with IMF. Serum ghrelin levels were higher in HP-IMF than other groups, and accordingly, cumulative food intake was also higher in HP-IMF than HF-IMF. HF-IMF exhibited higher area under the curve (AUC) of serum glucose at the first part (0-40 min) during oral glucose tolerance test, whereas AUC of serum insulin levels in both parts were higher in IMF and HF. During intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test, serum glucose levels were higher with IMF than AL. Consistently, hepatic insulin signaling (GLUT2, pAkt) was attenuated and PEPCK expression was higher with IMF and HF than other groups, and HOMA-IR revealed significantly impaired attenuated insulin sensitivity in the IMF groups. However, surprisingly, hepatic and skeletal muscle glycogen storage was higher in IMF groups than AL. The higher glycogen storage in the IMF groups was associated with the lower expression of glycogen phosphorylase than the AL groups. In conclusion, IMF especially with HF increased insulin resistance, possibly by attenuating hepatic insulin signaling, and lowered glycogen phosphorylase expression despite decreased fat mass in young male rats. These results suggest that caution may be warranted when recommending intermittent fasting, especially one-meal-per-day fasting, for people with compromised glucose metabolism.

Metabolomic profiling reveals severe skeletal muscle group-specific perturbations of metabolism in aged FBN rats. Biogerontology 2014; 15:217-32. [PMID: 24652515 PMCID: PMC4019835 DOI: 10.1007/s10522-014-9492-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2013] [Accepted: 02/11/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Mammalian skeletal muscles exhibit age-related adaptive and pathological remodeling. Several muscles in particular undergo progressive atrophy and degeneration beyond median lifespan. To better understand myocellular responses to aging, we used semi-quantitative global metabolomic profiling to characterize trends in metabolic changes between 15-month-old adult and 32-month-old aged Fischer 344 × Brown Norway (FBN) male rats. The FBN rat gastrocnemius muscle exhibits age-dependent atrophy, whereas the soleus muscle, up until 32 months, exhibits markedly fewer signs of atrophy. Both gastrocnemius and soleus muscles were analyzed, as well as plasma and urine. Compared to adult gastrocnemius, aged gastrocnemius showed evidence of reduced glycolytic metabolism, including accumulation of glycolytic, glycogenolytic, and pentose phosphate pathway intermediates. Pyruvate was elevated with age, yet levels of citrate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide were reduced, consistent with mitochondrial abnormalities. Indicative of muscle atrophy, 3-methylhistidine and free amino acids were elevated in aged gastrocnemius. The monounsaturated fatty acids oleate, cis-vaccenate, and palmitoleate also increased in aged gastrocnemius, suggesting altered lipid metabolism. Compared to gastrocnemius, aged soleus exhibited far fewer changes in carbohydrate metabolism, but did show reductions in several glycolytic intermediates, fumarate, malate, and flavin adenine dinucleotide. Plasma biochemicals showing the largest age-related increases included glycocholate, heme, 1,5-anhydroglucitol, 1-palmitoleoyl-glycerophosphocholine, palmitoleate, and creatine. These changes suggest reduced insulin sensitivity in aged FBN rats. Altogether, these data highlight skeletal muscle group-specific perturbations of glucose and lipid metabolism consistent with mitochondrial dysfunction in aged FBN rats.

Feed restriction and a diet's caloric value: The influence on the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of rats. J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2012; 9:10. [PMID: 22448911 PMCID: PMC3325889 DOI: 10.1186/1550-2783-9-10] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2011] [Accepted: 03/26/2012] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence of feed restriction and different diet's caloric value on the aerobic and anaerobic capacity is unclear in the literature. Thus, the objectives of this study were to determine the possible influences of two diets with different caloric values and the influence of feed restriction on the aerobic (anaerobic threshold: AT) and anaerobic (time to exhaustion: Tlim) variables measured by a lactate minimum test (LM) in rats. METHODS We used 40 adult Wistar rats. The animals were divided into four groups: ad libitum commercial Purina® diet (3028.0 Kcal/kg) (ALP), restricted commercial Purina® diet (RAP), ad libitum semi-purified AIN-93 diet (3802.7 Kcal/kg) (ALD) and restricted semi-purified AIN-93 diet (RAD). The animals performed LM at the end of the experiment, 48 h before euthanasia. Comparisons between groups were performed by analysis of variance (p < 0,05). RESULTS At the end of the experiment, the weights of the rats in the groups with the restricted diets were significantly lower than those in the groups with ad libitum diet intakes. In addition, the ALD group had higher amounts of adipose tissue. With respect to energetic substrates, the groups subjected to diet restriction had significantly higher levels of liver and muscle glycogen. There were no differences between the groups with respect to AT; however, the ALD group had lower lactatemia at the AT intensity and higher Tlim than the other groups. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that dietary restriction induces changes in energetic substrates and that ad libitum intake of a semi-purified AIN-93 diet results in an increase in adipose tissue, likely reducing the density of the animals in water and favouring their performance during the swimming exercises.

Expression of glycogen phosphorylase isoforms in cultured muscle from patients with McArdle's disease carrying the p.R771PfsX33 PYGM mutation. PLoS One 2010; 5. [PMID: 20957198 PMCID: PMC2950139 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0013164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2010] [Accepted: 09/11/2010] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mutations in the PYGM gene encoding skeletal muscle glycogen phosphorylase (GP) cause a metabolic disorder known as McArdle's disease. Previous studies in muscle biopsies and cultured muscle cells from McArdle patients have shown that PYGM mutations abolish GP activity in skeletal muscle, but that the enzyme activity reappears when muscle cells are in culture. The identification of the GP isoenzyme that accounts for this activity remains controversial. Methodology/Principal Findings In this study we present two related patients harbouring a novel PYGM mutation, p.R771PfsX33. In the patients' skeletal muscle biopsies, PYGM mRNA levels were ∼60% lower than those observed in two matched healthy controls; biochemical analysis of a patient muscle biopsy resulted in undetectable GP protein and GP activity. A strong reduction of the PYGM mRNA was observed in cultured muscle cells from patients and controls, as compared to the levels observed in muscle tissue. In cultured cells, PYGM mRNA levels were negligible regardless of the differentiation stage. After a 12 day period of differentiation similar expression of the brain and liver isoforms were observed at the mRNA level in cells from patients and controls. Total GP activity (measured with AMP) was not different either; however, the active GP activity and immunoreactive GP protein levels were lower in patients' cell cultures. GP immunoreactivity was mainly due to brain and liver GP but muscle GP seemed to be responsible for the differences. Conclusions/Significance These results indicate that in both patients' and controls' cell cultures, unlike in skeletal muscle tissue, most of the protein and GP activities result from the expression of brain GP and liver GP genes, although there is still some activity resulting from the expression of the muscle GP gene. More research is necessary to clarify the differential mechanisms of metabolic adaptations that McArdle cultures undergo in vitro.
