AMP-activated
protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic stress-sensing protein kinase
responsible for coordinating metabolism and energy demand. In rodents,
exercise accelerates fatty acid metabolism, enhances glucose uptake,
and stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production in skeletal muscle. AMPK
phosphorylates and inhibits acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase (ACC)
and enhances GLUT-4 translocation. It has been reported that human
skeletal muscle malonyl-CoA levels do not change in response to
exercise, suggesting that other mechanisms besides inhibition of ACC
may be operating to accelerate fatty acid oxidation. Here, we show that
a 30-s bicycle sprint exercise increases the activity of the human
skeletal muscle AMPK-
1 and -
2 isoforms approximately two- to
threefold and the phosphorylation of ACC at Ser79 (AMPK
phosphorylation site) ~8.5-fold. Under these conditions, there is
also an ~5.5-fold increase in phosphorylation of neuronal NO
synthase-µ (nNOSµ) at Ser1451. These observations
support the concept that inhibition of ACC is an important component in
stimulating fatty acid oxidation in response to exercise and that there
is coordinated regulation of nNOSµ to protect the muscle from
ischemia/metabolic stress.
