Abstract
New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Do circulating factors mediate exercise-induced effects on adipose tissue GLUT4 expression? What is the main finding and its importance? Serum (10%) obtained from human volunteers immediately after a single exercise bout increased GLUT4 protein levels in human adipocytes in culture. This result suggests that circulating factors might mediate the effects of exercise on adipose tissue GLUT4 and prompts further effort to identify the specific factor(s) and tissue(s) of origin. Abstract: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that circulating factors generated during exercise increase adipose tissue GLUT4 expression. Serum was obtained f..
