Exercise increases glucose transport via a pathway that is poorly understood. We investigated the role of endogenously produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in contraction-mediated glucose transport. Repeated contractions increased 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) uptake ~3-fold in isolated, mouse extensor digitorum longus (fast-twitch) muscle. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a nonspecific antioxidant, inhibited contraction-mediated 2-DG uptake by ~50% (P<0.05 vs control), but did not significantly affect basal 2-DG uptake or the uptake induced by insulin, hypoxia or 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-â-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR, mimics AMP-mediated activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK). Ebselen, a glutathione peroxidase mimetic, also inhibited contraction-mediated 2-DG uptake (almost 60%, P<0.001 vs. control). Muscles from mice over-expressing Mn-superoxide dismutase, which catalyzes H2O2 production from superoxide anions, exhibited an ~25% higher rate of contraction-mediated 2-DG uptake vs. muscles from wild type controls (P<0.05). Exogenous H2O2 induced oxidative stress, as judged by an increase in the GSSG/[GSH+GSSG] ratio to 2.5-fold of control and this increase was substantially blocked by NAC. Similarly, NAC significantly attenuated contraction-mediated oxidative stress as judged by measurements of glutathione status and the intracellular ROS level with the fluorescent indicator 5-(and-6)-chloromethyl-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (P<0.05). Last, contraction increased AMPK activity and phosphorylation ~10-fold and NAC blocked ~50% of these changes. These data indicate that endogenously produced ROS, possibly H2O2 or its derivatives, play an important role in contraction-mediated activation of glucose transport in fast-twitch muscle.
