Abstract
PURPOSE: We aimed to determine the immediacy of exercise intervention on liver-specific metabolic processes in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. METHODS: We undertook a short-term (7-d) exercise training study (60 min·d treadmill walking at 80%-85% of maximal heart rate) in obese adults (N = 13, 58 ± 3 yr, 34.3 ± 1.1 kg·m, >5% hepatic lipid by H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy). Insulin sensitivity index was estimated by oral glucose tolerance test using the Soonthorpun model. Hepatic insulin extraction (HIE) was calculated as the molar difference in area under the curve (AUC) for insulin and C-peptide (HIE = 1 - (AUCInsulin/AUCC-Pep)). RESULTS: The increases in HIE, V˙O2max, and insulin sensitivity index after the intervention were 9.8%, 9.8%, and 34%, respectively (all, P < 0.05). Basal fat oxidation increased (pre: 47 ± 6 mg·min vs post: 65 ± 6 mg·min, P < 0.05) and carbohydrate oxidation decreased (pre: 160 ± 20 mg·min vs post: 112 ± 15 mg·min, P < 0.05) with exercise training. After the intervention, HIE correlated positively with adiponectin (r = 0.56, P < 0.05) and negatively with TNF-α (r = -0.78, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: By increasing HIE along with peripheral insulin sensitivity, aerobic exercise training rapidly reverses some of the underlying physiological mechanisms associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, in a weight loss-independent manner. This reversal could potentially act through adipokine-related pathways.
