Article Abstract
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aging on intracellular adiponectin signaling and the possible therapeutic effect of physical exercise.
Main Methods: Fischer 344 rats were distributed in the following groups: Young (3 months old); Sedentary Old (Old, 27 months old); and Old Exercised (Old-Exe, 27 months old), which were subjected to a short-term exercise training protocol.
Key Findings: The results showed that the old rats presented glucose intolerance without increased adiposity. However, short-term exercise training reversed this disorder, which was associated with a decrease in the pleckstrin homology domain, phosphotyrosine-binding domain, and leucine zipper motif (APPL) isoform 2 (APPL2) content. The APPL isoform 1 (APPL1) and TRB3 (Tribbles homolog 3) contents were not altered. Akt phosphorylation was only increased in the old exercised rats. There was a reduction in the content of adiponectin receptor 1 in the old rats.
Significance: The short-term exercise training protocol was able to decrease APPL2 content in the skeletal muscle, which was accompanied by an improvement in the glucose tolerance of the old Fischer 344 rats. These findings provide new evidence supporting the role of physical exercise as a non-pharmacological therapeutic intervention to attenuate age-related deficits.

Adiponectin-Resistance in Obesity.

The decrease in adiponectin levels are negatively correlated with chronic subclinical inflammation markers in obesity. The hypertrophic adipocytes cause obesity-linked insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, macrophage polarization is a key determinant regulating adiponectin receptor (AdipoR1/R2) expression and differential adiponectin-mediated macrophage inflammatory responses in obese individuals.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how pressure overload (PO) affects heart remodeling in heart failure, focusing on the potential reversibility of these changes after relieving the pressure.
- It finds that while some aspects of cardiac function and structure improve post-unloading, the collagen network does not fully normalize, indicating lingering effects of previous pressure overload.
- The research suggests that unloading the heart can restore normal levels of certain proteins involved in fibrosis and hypertrophy, offering new insights into treatment options for heart failure patients.
Exercise restores insulin, but not adiponectin, response in skeletal muscle of high-fat fed rodents.

High-fat (HF) diets impair skeletal muscle response to the insulin-sensitizing adipokine adiponectin (Ad) in rodents, preceding the development of insulin resistance. Skeletal muscle insulin response in HF-fed rats can be restored with chronic exercise; whether recovery of skeletal muscle Ad response is necessary for the exercise-induced recovery of insulin-stimulated glucose transport is not known. In the current study, insulin and Ad resistance were induced in rodents with 4 wk of HF feeding (HF(4); low-fat fed animals used as control).
