Muscle biopsies collected at baseline and after 2 and 6 months of intervention were analysed for IMTG content and perilipin 2 expression using fibre type specific immunofluorescence microscopy. Endurance type exercise training reduced trunk body fat by 6±2% and increased whole-body oxygen uptake capacity by 13±7% (P<0.05). IMTG content increased two-fold in response to the 6 months exercise training in both type I and type II muscle fibres (P<0.05). A three-fold increase in perilipin 2 expression was observed from baseline to 2 and 6 months of intervention in the type I muscle fibres only (1.1±0.3, 3.4±0.6, and 3.6±0.6% fibre stained, respectively; P<0.05). Exercise training induced a 1.6-fold increase in mitochondrial content after 6 months of training in both type I and type II muscle fibres (P<0.05). In conclusion, this is the first study to report that prolonged endurance type exercise training increases the expression of perilipin 2 alongside increases in IMTG content in a type I muscle fiber type specific manner in type 2 diabetes patients. | Keywords: | exercise; lipid metabolism; intramuscular triglyceride; ADRP; adipophilin; insulin sensitivity | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13960 | ISSN: | 0193-1849 | e-ISSN: | 1522-1555 | DOI: | 10.1152/ajpendo.00272.2012 | ISI #: | 000310647800009 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2013 |
