Lifestyle change Pharmacology Weight loss beneficial impact on metabolic health
Impact of energy deficit, (Ein < Eout), is clear • well before clinically relevant weight loss. • Improvements dissipate during weight • maintenance when energy balance restored Assali et al., J Endocrinol 2001
Is fat removal sufficient to cause metabolic change? Remove fat (9-11 kg) but no change in energy balance No effects on insulin action or other metabolic markers like adipokines, etc. (Klein et al. NEJM 2004)
The “fit-fat” concept A series of studies from the research group headed by Steven Blair have suggested that individuals who are overweight or obese but physically fit have lower risk for chronic disease than individuals who are normal weight but physically unfit. “Better to be fit and fat than unfit and lean”
Is the protective effect related to maintenance of high insulin sensitivity despite high body fat in people with high cardiorespiratory fitness?
Overweight athletes • Compared a group of 10 lean fit women (LF) • (BF = 17%, VO2peak = 73 ml/kgFFM/min) • with group of 10 overweight fit women (OF) • (BF = 34%, VO2peak = 74 ml/kgFFM/min) • and group of 10 overweight unfit women (OU) • (BF = 36%, VO2peak = 42 ml/kgFFM/min) • Insulin response to glucose, triglycerides
OF more like LF than OU LF OF OU Relatively subtle differences between OF and LF despite 2x the body fat in OF Gerson and Braun, Med Sci Sports Exerc 2006

Resistance to the exercise drug? • GLUT4 translocation normal in muscle from • humans with T2D (L. Goodyear laboratory) • Are pathways independent in vivo? • Do insulin-resistant humans have “normal” • glucose uptake & oxidation during exercise?

Exercise as a drug • Taken at a sufficient dose, a bout of exercise, • [coupled with the proximal nutrient intake], • impacts metabolic function for some period of • time and then wanes, requiring subsequent • doses to maintain the effect. • Tailoring the dose to achieve maximal effect is • likely to result in the biggest long-term reward • in terms of optimizing cardiometabolic health.
Is Exercise Intensity Important? No-Exercise LO = 143 min; 50.4% VO2max = 750 kcal HI = 89 min; 74.4% VO2max = 750 kcal Braun et al. J Appl. Physiol. 1995
Does duration matter? • low vol/mod int. = (app. 170’/week) = + 80% • low vol/high int. = (app. 115’/week) = + 40% • high vol/high int. = (app. 170’/week) = + 80% • Conditions with duration of 167-171 min/wk. • more effective than condition with 115 min/wk • No change in weight (0.6-1.8 kg) Houmard et al. 2003.
What we think we know • Physical activity delays/prevents transition • from IR to T2DM • Exercise effects can be independent of wt. loss • Much of the benefit gained from residual • effects of recent exercise; lasting 24-72 h • No obvious effects of mode or intensity but • duration >150’/week imp. Key may be total EE
What about energy deficit? • In studies of short-term exercise training (1- • 7 days), extra energy expenditure due to • exercise was NOT added back to diet • Energy deficit reduces insulin resistance • quickly (<7d), before significant weight loss • Q: How much of the “exercise effect” is actually • mediated by short-term energy deficit?
Study Design Energy Deficit “DEF” Weight Maintenance Period Post- Training Measures: Insulin Action, Body Comp, CVD risk factors Pre-Training Measures: Insulin Action, Body Comp, CVD risk factors Recruit subjects at risk 6DAYS OF EXERCISE Energy Balance “BAL” Black et al. J. Appl Physiol 2005

HYPOTHESIS Post • Insulin action will • improve in both • groups with: • DEF > BAL Post Pre Pre Insulin Action Energy Deficit (DEF) Energy Balance (BAL)

Glucose Liver DEF BAL Black et al. JAP, 2005
Is energy deficit the only explanation? • No, CHO content of diet was not identical. • DEF = 330 g/day; BAL = 410g CHO/day • “Extra” CHO could have upregulated glycogen • synthesis pathways (altered GSK, GS activity).

Energy surplus causes insulin resistance. Can resistance be reversed with exercise, even if energy surplus is maintained? + - Insulin-mediated glucose uptake
3 days energy • surplus reduced • insulin action. • One day with • exercise restored • insulin action • despite continued • 25% overfeeding Insulin (µU∙ml-1*min) Hagobian and Braun, Metabolism, 2006
Timing of post-exercise intake? Differences may be related to timing of energy/ CHO intake relative to energy expenditure. In Black et al., the BAL group had energy (60% CHO) fed immediately post-exercise. Big stimulation of glycogen synthesis pathway? Glycogen supercompensation?

Exercise drug and pharmacology • Exercise + metformin better than either one alone? • Hypothesis being tested at 3 physiological levels: • Skeletal muscle (activity of AMPK, GS, GSK-3, Akt, AS160, etc.) • Whole-body insulin action (blood glucose uptake during a glucose clamp) • From a clinical perspective (glucose profile assessed by continuous glucose monitoring).
