The SIRT3/GSK-3β/GLUT4 axis might be involved in maternal hypoxia-induced skeletal muscle insulin resistance in old male rat offspring
Maternal hypoxia is strongly linked to insulin resistance (IR) in adult offspring, and altered insulin signaling for muscle glucose uptake is thought to play a central role. However, whether the SIRT3/GSK-3β/GLUT4 axis is involved in maternal hypoxia-induced skeletal muscle IR in old male rat offspring has not been investigated. Maternal hypoxia was established from Days 5 to 21 of pregnancy by continuous infusion of nitrogen and air. The biochemical parameters and levels of key insulin signaling molecules of old male rat offspring were determined through a series of experiments. Compared to the control (Ctrl) old male rat offspring group, the hypoxic (HY) group exhibited elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) (∼30%), fasting blood insulin (FBI) (∼35%), total triglycerides (TGs), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), as well as results showing impairment in the glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT). In addition, hematoxylin–eosin (HE) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed impaired cellular structures and mitochondria in the longitudinal sections of skeletal muscle from HY group mice, which might be associated with decreased SIRT3 expression. Furthermore, the expression of insulin signaling molecules, such as GSK-3β and GLUT4, was also altered. In conclusion, the present results indicate that the SIRT3/GSK-3β/GLUT4 axis might be involved in maternal hypoxia-induced skeletal muscle IR in old male rat offspring.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology publishes original scientific research of relevance to animals or humans pertaining to the action of chemicals, drugs, or chemically-defined natural products.
Regular articles address mechanistic approaches to physiological, pharmacologic, biochemical, cellular, or molecular understanding of toxicologic/pathologic lesions and to methods used to describe these responses. Safety Science articles address outstanding state-of-the-art preclinical and human translational characterization of drug and chemical safety employing cutting-edge science. Highly significant Regulatory Safety Science articles will also be considered in this category. Papers concerned with alternatives to the use of experimental animals are encouraged.
Short articles report on high impact studies of broad interest to readers of TAAP that would benefit from rapid publication. These articles should contain no more than a combined total of four figures and tables. Authors should include in their cover letter the justification for consideration of their manuscript as a short article.
