PG - E456-62 AB - We investigated the time course of training-induced changes in the expression of GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 in human skeletal muscle. Seven healthy males trained for 2 h/day (approximately 60% pretraining VO2peak) for 31 days (31D). Muscle biopsies were obtained before training (PRE) and after 5 (5D) and 31 days (31D) of training. Training resulted in progressive increases in muscle GLUT-4 with increasing training duration (PRE<5D<31D; P<0.01). Muscle GLUT-1 content was also increased (P<0.05) after training; however, the increase was not observed until 31D (131%). Increases in muscle hexokinase (HK) activity were complete by 5D (P<0.01). Muscle malate dehydrogenase activity was not elevated after 5D of training but was increased (+35%; P<0.01) at 31D. Results from this study show that increases in both GLUT-4 and HK represent early training-induced adaptations to prolonged exercise training. As training progresses, further increases in GLUT-4, but not HK, occur in conjunction with an increase in muscle mitochondrial potential and GLUT-1.
