Abstract

Aerobic exercise increases muscle glucose and improves insulin action through numerous pathways, including activation of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CAMKs) and peroxisome proliferator γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α). While overexpression of PGC-1α increases muscle mitochondrial content and oxidative type I fibres, it does not improve insulin action. Activation of CAMK4 also increases the content of type I muscle fibres, PGC-1α level and mitochondrial content. However, it remains unknown whether CAMK4 activation improves insulin action on glucose metabolism in vivo.
