Fatty acid transporter protein (FATP)-1 mRNA expression was investigated in skeletal muscle and in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue of 17 healthy lean, 13 nondiabetic obese, and 16 obese type 2 diabetic subjects. In muscle, FATP-1 mRNA levels were higher in lean women than in lean men (2.2 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.2 amol/microg total RNA, P < 0.01). FATP-1 mRNA expression was decreased in skeletal muscle in obese women both in nondiabetic and in type 2 diabetic patients (P < 0.02 vs. lean women in both groups), and in all women there was a negative correlation with basal FATP-1 mRNA level and body mass index (r = -0.74, P < 0.02). In men, FATP-1 mRNA was expressed at similar levels in the three groups both in skeletal muscle (0.6 +/- 0.2, 0.6 +/- 0.2, and 0.8 +/- 0.2 amol/microg total RNA in lean, obese, and type 2 diabetic male subjects) and in adipose tissue (0.9 +/- 0.2 amol/microg total RNA in the 3 groups). Insulin infusion (3 h) reduced FATP-1 mRNA levels in muscle in lean women but not in lean men. Insulin did not affect FATP-1 mRNA expression in skeletal muscle in obese nondiabetic or in type 2 diabetic subjects nor in subcutaneous adipose tissue in any of the three groups. These data show a gender-related difference in the expression of the fatty acid transporter FATP-1 in skeletal muscle of lean individuals and suggest that changes in FATP-1 expression may not contribute to a large extent to the alterations in fatty acid uptake in obesity and/or type 2 diabetes.

Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle plays a major role in the development of type 2 diabetes and may be causally associated with increases in intramuscular fatty acid metabolites. Fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1) is an acyl-CoA synthetase highly expressed in skeletal muscle and modulates fatty acid uptake and metabolism by converting fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA. To investigate the role of FATP1 in glucose homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, we examined the effect of acute lipid infusion or chronic high-fat feeding on insulin action in FATP1 KO mice. Whole-body adiposity, adipose tissue expression of adiponectin, intramuscular fatty acid metabolites, and insulin sensitivity were not altered in FATP1 KO mice fed a regular chow diet. In contrast, FATP1 deletion protected the KO mice from fat-induced insulin resistance and intramuscular accumulation of fatty acyl-CoA without alteration in whole-body adiposity. These findings demonstrate an important role of intramuscular fatty acid metabolites in causing insulin resistance and suggest that FATP1 may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

We previously reported that early insulin treatment reduced intramuscular triglyceride content in type 2 diabetes mellitus Sprague-Dawley rats; the underlying mechanisms are, however, not completely understood. Here we investigated the regulation of insulin on molecular expressions involved in lipid metabolism pathways in skeletal muscle of high-fat-diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats. Neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin and gliclazide were initiated at the third day after streptozotocin injection and lasted for 3 weeks. Compared with normal rats, untreated diabetic rats had a 30% and 61% increase in lipoprotein lipase protein expression and activity, which were decreased by insulin and gliclazide (P < .05). Fatty acid translocase protein was down-regulated by 45% in untreated diabetic rats, which was up-regulated by 31% and 26% with insulin and gliclazide, respectively (P < .05). Insulin failed to affect fatty acid transport protein 1 and fatty acid binding protein expressions. Carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 had a 47% decrease in untreated diabetic rats, which was normalized by insulin (P < .05). Moreover, compared with normal rats, untreated diabetic rats had higher expressions of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and Tyr(705) phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 levels, which all were down-regulated after insulin treatment. These results suggested that early insulin reduced intramuscular triglyceride levels in diabetic rats potentially through amelioration of lipid dysfunction and inhibition of lipid synthesis.

High-intensity-interval-training (HIIT) has been suggested to have beneficial effects in multiple populations across individual systematic reviews, although there is a lack of clarity in the totality of the evidence whether HIIT is effective and safe across different populations and outcomes. The aim of this meta-review was to establish the benefits, safety and adherence of HIIT interventions across all populations from systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Major databases were searched for systematic reviews (with/without meta-analyses) of randomised & non-randomised trials that compared HIIT to a control. Thirty-three systematic reviews (including 25 meta-analyses) were retrieved encompassing healthy subjects and people with physical health complications. Evidence suggested HIIT improved cardiorespiratory fitness, anthropometric measures, blood glucose and glycaemic control, arterial compliance and vascular function, cardiac function, heart rate, some inflammatory markers, exercise capacity and muscle mass, versus non-active controls. Compared to active controls, HIIT improved cardiorespiratory fitness, some inflammatory markers and muscle structure. Improvements in anxiety and depression were seen compared to pre-training. Additionally, no acute injuries were reported, and mean adherence rates surpassed 80% in most systematic reviews. Thus, HIIT is associated with multiple benefits. Further large-scale high-quality studies are needed to reaffirm and expand these findings.Abbreviations: ACSM: American College of Sports Medicine; BMI: Body Mass Index; BNP: Brain Natriuretic Peptide; BP: Blood Pressure; CAD: Coronary Artery Disease; CHD: Coronary Heart Disease; COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; CRP: c- reactive Protein; CVD: Cardiovascular Disease; DBP: Diastolic Blood Pressure; ES: Effect Size; FAS: Reduced Fatty Acid Synthase; FATP-1: Reduced Fatty Acid Transport Protein 1; FMD: Flow Mediated Dilation; Hs-CRP: High-sensitivity c- reactive Protein; HDL: High Density Lipoprotein; HIIT: High-Intensity Interval Training; HOMA: Homoeostatic Model Assessment; HR: Heart Rate; HTx: Heart Transplant Recipients; IL-6: Interleukin-6; LDL: Low Density Lipoprotein; LV: Left Ventricular; LVEF: Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction; MD: Mean Difference; MetS: Metabolic Syndrome; MPO: Myeloperoxidase; MICT: Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training; NO: Nitric Oxide; NRCT: Non-Randomised Controlled Trial; PA: Physical Activity; PAI-1: Plasminogen-activator-inhibitor-1; QoL: Quality of Life; RCT: Randomised Controlled Trial; RoB: Risk of Bias; RPP: Rate Pressure Product; RT: Resistance Training; SBP: Systolic Blood Pressure; SD: Standardised Difference; SMD: Standardised Mean Difference; TAU: Treatment-As-Usual; T2DM: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; TC: Total Cholesterol; TG: Triglycerides; TNF-alfa: Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha; UMD: Unstandardised Mean Difference; WC: Waist Circumference; WHR: Waist-to-Hip Ratio; WMD: Weighted Mean DifferenceKey points: HIIT may improve cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiovascular function, anthropometric variables, exercise capacity, muscular structure and function, and anxiety and depression severity in healthy individuals and those with physical health disorders.Additionally, HIIT appears to be safe and does not seem to be associated with acute injuries or serious cardiovascular events.
