The effect of a single bout of mild exercise on glucose effectiveness (SG) and insulin sensitivity (SI) was studied in six young male subjects by using a minimal model. An intravenous glucose tolerance test was performed under two conditions as follows: 1) 25 min after a bout of exercise on a cycle ergometer at the lactate threshold level for 60 min (Ex) and 2) without any prior exercise (Con). Leg blood flow (LBF) was also measured by strain-gauge plethysmography simultaneously with blood sampling. SI did not significantly change after exercise (18.1 ± 1.5 vs. 17.7 ± 1.9 × 10-5 min/pM), whereas SG significantly increased (0.016 ± 0.002 vs. 0.025 ± 0.002 min-1, P < 0.01). The increased blood flow after exercise remained high during the time period for measurement of the glucose disappearance constant and may be a determinant of SG. The incremental lactate area under the curve until insulin loading was also significantly higher in Ex than in Con (2.6 ± 0.9 vs. -3.5 ± 1.5 mM/min, P < 0.05). These results suggest that increased SG after mild exercise may be due, at least in part, to increased LBF and lactate production under a hyperglycemic state.

GLUCOSE EFFECTIVENESS (SG), which is analyzed by the minimal model technique, is defined as the effect of glucose per se to normalize its own concentration at basal insulin concentration and is a major determinant of glucose tolerance as well as insulin sensitivity (SI) (7). A recent report on the minimal model suggested that decreased SG might be associated with the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) rather than decreased SI (35). Therefore, increasing SG may be very important because preservation of SG might serve to prevent the development of NIDDM.

Acute exercise is well known to transiently enhance SI in untrained subjects with or without diabetes (20, 30). As far as we know, three studies have studied SG after a single bout of exercise (11, 19, 32); however, the findings are not consistent. Pestell et al. (32) observed no change in SI and SG 2 h after a strenuous ultramarathon run. We have recently reported no change in SG 11 h after mild, hard, and exhaustive exercise (19). On the other hand, Brun et al. (11) reported that SG and SI showed a marked increase 25 min after short-term exercise at 85% of maximal heart rate by using a reduced-sample protocol. A possible explanation for the discrepancies among these results may be the great variability among the exercise intensity, duration, and the time of the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) or different methodologies.

Glucose uptake in the postexercise state may be influenced by the time of the IVGTT, because Ivy et al. (21) showed that glucose uptake immediately postexercise caused a 300% increase in the rate of glycogen storage above basal levels during the first 2 h of recovery and a 180% greater rate of storage above basal than in the second 2 h of recovery. If the time of the IVGTT was set more immediately after exercise, even more mild-intensity exercise, such as at the lactate threshold level (LT), would be expected to improve glucose uptake, because several reports have suggested that low-intensity exercise as well as high-intensity exercise improves glucose tolerance (9, 10, 41). We therefore designed this study to determine whether LT-intensity exercise improves SG immediately postexercise.

Subjects. Six male subjects participated in the present study after giving their informed consent. Subjects had no family history of diabetes or hypertension and were not insulin resistant on the basis of homeostasis model assessment (29). The mean homeostasis model assessment value was 0.81 ± 0.04 (range, 0.74-0.95). The subjects' characteristics are summarized in Table 1. Body composition was measured by hydrostatic weighing, corrected for residual lung volume (15). The subjects were instructed to abstain from strenuous exercise until the end of the experiment.

Table 1.   Subject characteristics

Preliminary testing. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) was determined on an electrically braked cycle ergometer by using an incremental exercise protocol; after the subjects cycled at a steady work rate of 10 W for 4 min, the work rate continued and increased gradually by 20 W every 4 min until the subject was unable to continue. Blood samples from the earlobe were obtained just before the end of each stage to determine the blood LT (5, 19). The blood lactate concentrations were plotted against the workload. The LT as the initial break point for blood lactate was determined by visual inspection. The average of the LT determined blindly by three experts was used for exercise intensity.

Experimental design. Subjects consumed a meal containing 57% carbohydrate, 15% protein, and 28% fat calories at 6:00- 7:00 PM on the evening previous to each IVGTT. A 12- to 13-h fast was imposed on the subjects. They stayed at the laboratory one night before each IVGTT and woke at 7:00 AM. An 18-gauge catheter was placed in an antecubital vein in one arm for blood sampling, and a similar catheter was placed in the opposite arm for administration of intravenous solutions; patency of the catheters was maintained with an infusion of saline (40-50 ml/h) throughout the experiment. Leg blood flow (LBF) was measured for the resting state three times before exercise. Subjects exercised on a cycle ergometer for 60 min at LT intensity (45.4 ± 3.1% of VO2 max). Heart rate and the rate of perceived exertion were recorded during exercise. Heart rate during exercise was 115 ± 4, 119 ± 5, 121 ± 5, 122 ± 5, 127 ± 4, and 130 ± 5 beats/min at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min, respectively, and the subjects registered their rate of perceived exertion as between "fairly light" and "somewhat hard." The IVGTT was performed 25 min postexercise or without any prior exercise. In brief, three baseline samples were taken at 10, 15, and 20 min after exercise. At minute 25, glucose (300 mg/kg body wt) was administered intravenously within 2 min, and subsequent blood samples were taken from the contralateral antecubital vein at 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 44, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 58, 61, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 125, 145, 165, 185, and 205 min. An additional infusion of insulin (Humalin, Shionogi, Osaka, Japan) was administered (20 mU/kg) via the antecubital vein from 45 to 50 min. Two IVGTTs were scheduled in a randomized design and were separated by at least 1 wk.

LBF. The knee joint was bent slightly, and supporting pillows were placed under the thigh and Achilles tendon. A mercury rubber strain gauge (Vasculab, Medasonics) was wrapped around the calf at the level of the widest circumference. The relative change in the volume of the calf segment under the strain gauge was registered on a chart recorder and was used for calculations of plethysmographic blood flow according to the principle outlined by Whitney (39), including calibration. The occlusion cuff was placed around the thigh. The cuff pressure used was 50 mmHg. LBF was measured simultaneously with blood sampling during the IVGTT.

Analytic methods. Plasma glucose concentrations were measured in triplicate spectropotometrically with glucose oxidase (glucose B test, Wako Pure Chemical, Osaka, Japan). The measurement error of glucose was assumed to be "white," with a Gaussian value of zero mean and a coefficient of variation of 1.5%. Immunoreactive insulin was measured in duplicate by using a Phadeseph insulin radioimmunoassay kit (Shionogi, Osaka, Japan). Coefficients of variation were 4% for >180 pM insulin and 7% for <180 pM insulin. Blood lactate was measured by flow-injection analysis with the use of immobilized enzyme (lactic oxidase) columns with detection through chemiluminescence (Shimadzu CL-760, Kyoto, Japan) (34). The coefficient of variation of this assay was within 2% of the established standard lactate solutions (1.0-10.0 mmol/l).

Data analysis. The glucose disappearance constant (KG) value was calculated as the slope of the least squares regression line relating the natural logarithm of the glucose concentration to time from five samples drawn between 10 and 19 min. Endogenous plasma insulin responses were expressed as the area under the insulin curve during the first 10 min, calculated by using the trapezoidal method (14). The area under the lactate curve was determined by using the trapezoidal method for 20 min before the insulin injection or the period after the insulin injection.

SI and SG were estimated by the minimal model approach (6-8, 12, 35). In this analysis, fluctuations in circulating glucose levels over time are described by the following differential equations: dG(t)/dt = -p1[G(t- Gb- X(t)G(t) and dX(t)/dt = -p2X(t) + p3[I(t- Ib], where G(t) is the plasma glucose concentration, I(t) is the plasma insulin concentration, and Gb and Ib are baseline concentrations; p1, p2, and p3 are model parameters; and X(t) represents the time course of the peripheral insulin effects (expressed as min-1). X(t) is increased by p3 in proportion to the change in plasma insulin above the basal level and decreases by a first-order process proportional by p2 to X(t) itself. Parameter p1 represents the effect of glucose per se, at basal insulin, to normalize its own concentration in plasma independent of increased insulin. This parameter, known as SG, has been verified through comparison with studies in which the insulin secretory response in normal dogs was suppressed with somatostatin infusion (1) or in which insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients received basal insulin infusion during IVGTT (37). SG is comprised of the following two components: a non-insulin-dependent component and a basal insulin component. The basal insulin component of SG (BIE) can be calculated as the product of Ib and SI: BIE = Ib × SI (24). Therefore, the contribution of the non-insulin-dependent component (SG at 0 insulin, GEZI) is the difference between total SG and BIE: GEZI = SG - (Ib × SI) (24). The p3-to-p2 ratio defines the SI index, which represents the increase in the net glucose disappearance rate dependent on a rise in insulin above basal. The SI index has been validated by comparison with a direct measure of SI from glucose-clamp experiments in humans (4, 12). The minimal model program was written in Pascal (Borland, Scotts Valley, CA) on a Macintosh IIcx (Apple Computer, Cupertino, CA) as described previously (14, 35).

Neither basal plasma glucose nor plasma insulin concentrations before IVGTT showed a significant difference between control and exercise conditions (Table 2). The plasma glucose, insulin, and lactate concentrations during IVGTT are illustrated in Fig. 1. The plasma glucose concentration is significantly lower in the exercise condition than in the control condition at 26, 28, 30, 36, 40, and 50 min, respectively (P < 0.05, Fig. 1). No significant difference in the plasma insulin concentration was observed between both conditions. The plasma lactate concentration gradually increased in both conditions after glucose loading. The incremental lactate area under the curve before insulin injection was significantly higher in the exercise condition than in the control condition (2.6 ± 0.9 vs. -3.5 ± 1.5 mM/min, P < 0.05) but not after injection.

The major finding of the present study was that mild exercise at the LT leads to a marked increase in SG immediately postexercise. We have previously shown that endurance- or strength-trained athletes, respectively, have higher SG than do sedentary subjects (13, 36). In the present study, an increase in SG immediately after a single bout of mild exercise is similar to the level in trained subjects.

The five comparable studies on non-insulin-mediated glucose uptake (2, 11, 19, 28, 32) have reported inconsistent findings. Marin et al. (28) examined the effect of glycogen-depleting exercise on hyperglycemic clamp-derived glucose uptake in premenopausal women. In this study, non-insulin-mediated glucose uptake was not increased 24 h after exercise, but insulin-mediated glucose uptake was increased. We have recently reported that SG was not increased in sedentary subjects 11 h after three types of exercise (exercise at LT, exercise at 4-mM lactate level, or exhaustive exercise), whereas SI was increased only after exhaustive exercise (19). Pestell et al. (32) studied the effect of a strenuous ultramarathon run on glucose tolerance 2 h after exercise in highly trained subjects, but both SG and SI were not significantly increased. However, SG in the present study was increased 25 min after exercise, in agreement with the finding by Brun et al. (11). They found that SG was increased 25 min after exercise at 85% of maximum heart rate (11). Taken together, these findings indicate that the effect of a single bout of exercise on SG could rapidly decreased in a time-dependent way.

Araujo-Vilar et al. (2) have demonstrated that there was a significant 45% increase in SG during exercise at 50% of VO2 max, which is similar to the exercise intensity of our study. Our findings show similar increases in SG even after exercise compared with their study. The increased SG is due to either the increased glucose disposal in tissue or an augmented effect to suppress hepatic glucose production. Possible residual effects of the exercise that may cause increased SG are increased blood flow or increased glucose transporter in the plasma membrane.

Hespel et al. (18) showed that glucose uptake in muscle is stimulated by increased blood flow in the absence of insulin. In this study, we found that increased blood flow in skeletal muscle, a major site of glucose disposal, remains significantly elevated until the corresponding time to determine KG that is significantly correlated to SG (25). Thus we speculated that the increased blood flow, which enhances glucose delivery to peripheral tissue, may contribute to the increased SG. In addition to the increase in blood flow, our results show an increase in the integrated blood lactate area during the same period, suggesting that a significant component of SG can be derived from the metabolism of glucose to lactate (38).

Goodyear et al. (16) reported that 30 min after exercise both the number of plasma membrane glucose transporters and glucose transport activity remain elevated (1.6- and 1.8-fold above baseline, respectively), even though glycogen concentrations had returned to baseline concentrations. This may also contribute to the increased SG. In addition, the effect of exercise on hepatic glucose production may be a reason for the change in SG. Further study is needed to clarify these topics by using the stable-labeled, minimal model approach.

It is well known that a single bout of exercise causes an increase in SI (19, 28, 30). Brun et al. (11) also demonstrated that SI as well as SG were significantly increased immediately after exercise at 85% of maximum heart rate (70-80% of VO2 max, as predicted by age). In contrast to these studies, we observed no significant increase in SI immediately after mild exercise at LT intensity (45.4 ± 3.1% of VO2 max) for 60 min. The reasons for this discrepancy remain obscure, but the differences in exercise intensity may contribute to the contradictory results. The factor responsible for the increase in SI could be an increase in capillary insulin transport and/or an increase in insulin action at the target cell (7). Yang et al. (40) have shown that transcapillary insulin transport is a rate-limiting step for insulin action on its target tissues. Insulin as well as exercise can directly induce an increase in LBF in humans (3, 23). However, as shown in Fig. 3, LBF under both conditions did not change significantly after the glucose and insulin boluses, which elevate the plasma insulin levels. The results suggest that blood flow is elevated only by the effect of exercise. Furthermore, blood flow enhancement through exercise lasts until 25 min after the glucose bolus. Increased blood flow in the KG-determined period may have contributed less to SI, because SI does not correlate with KG (25). LBF during exercise has been shown to be positively correlated with exercise intensity (23). Thus we speculate that the blood flow might have remained higher longer in the study of Brun et al. (11) than in the present study, resulting in increased SI.

An alternative explanation for this discrepancy could be related to glucose transporter concentration, because insulin-stimulated glucose transport has been found to be proportional to glucose transporter GLUT-4 protein concentration (17). Recent evidence has shown an increase in GLUT-4 protein expression immediately after a single but prolonged strenuous-exercise bout in an animal study (22). Thus it is possible that the exercise in this study may not have increased the GLUT-4 protein concentration, because the exercise intensity was not high enough.

In conclusion, the present study suggests that the mild exercise at LT intensity could be one of the physiological conditions that improves SG with no alterations in SI, indicating acute improvement in glucose tolerance. Our results may lead to effective exercise therapy not only for hypertension (26, 27) and hyperlipidemia (31, 33) but also for patients with glucose intolerance.
