Research Abstract

The metabolism of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids are dynamically interacted, and the interaction is very important in integration of the body system. The life-style-related diseases are getting common in Japan. It is evident that exercise is very effective to improve the life-style-related diseases, but the mechanisms are not so clear. In the present study, we have investigated the basic regulatory mechanisms of glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolism in relation to exercise. We found that (1)greater PDK4 and less PDP1 in skeletal muscle of young/normal OLETF rats are responsible for the lowering of the PDC activity state and may be related with the development of diabetes mellitus, (2)promotion of fatty acid oxidation resulted in oxidation of branched-chain amino acids due to suppression of branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase(BCKDH) kinase activity, (3)BCKDH kinase activity was regulated by estrogen, and (4)tumor-necrosis factor-a decreased the bound form of BCKDH kinase, resulting in activation of BCKDH complex and promotion of BCAA oxidation.
