- Dioscorea esculenta increases sex steroid hormones in obesity and type 2 diabetes that impairs steroidogenesis. However, the effects of chronic D. esculenta intake on testicular sex steroid hormone concentrations and testicular function especially protection from oxidative stress and inflammation is still unclear. The study assessed the effects of chronic D. esculenta intake and exercise training on testicular function in rats with type 2 diabetes. Twenty-week-old Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats were randomly assigned to the control, exercise training (running at 25 m/min for 1 h, 5 days/week), and D. esculenta intake (0.3 % with normal feed) groups (n = 8 per group). Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka rats served as the healthy controls (n = 7). Eight weeks of D. esculenta intake or exercise training significantly increased plasma concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), free testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). No significant increases were observed in DHEA, testosterone, and DHT concentrations in the testis. Androgen receptor (AR) expression was significantly increased by D. esculenta intake and exercise training. The expression of cathepsin L, which is involved in sperm modification, did not significantly change, whereas the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), which protects sperms from oxidative stress, significantly increased in the D. esculenta group. Additionally, metabolic clearance rate (MCR), an index of insulin resistance, significantly correlated with testicular weight and GPx4 expression. These results suggest that improvement in MCR through D. esculenta intake suppresses testicular atrophy and enhances the ability of protection from oxidative stress and inflammation in rats with type 2 diabetes.Mar. 2025, The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 250, 106730 - 106730, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) subunit gp130 knockdown on insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism-related signaling pathways and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. siRNA-mediated gp130 knockdown was conducted in C2C12 muscle cells, and insulin was added and incubated for 1 h. The cells were cultivated to analyze the mRNA levels of gp130, phosphorylation of STAT3, and glucose metabolism-regulated signaling pathways, and OSM levels in the culture medium were analyzed. The phosphorylation of STAT 3 was significantly decreased in gp130-/- cell. The insulin stimulation was significantly increased in both gp130-/- and gp130+/+ and the phosphorylation of IRS-1 Ser 1101 was significantly decreased in gp130-/-. PI3-kinase activity and Akt Thr 308 phosphorylation were significantly decreased in gp130-/-. The insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake rate was significantly attenuated in gp130-/-. In the culture medium, OSM levels were significantly lower in gp130+/+compared to gp130-/- cell. In conclusion, the knockdown of gp130 caused a decrease in STAT 3 phosphorylation and resulted in the attenuation of insulin-mediated glucose metabolism signaling in skeletal muscle cells. Thus, an excessive increase in extracellular OSM may induce blunted insulin action in skeletal muscle cells.Jul. 2024, Scientific Reports, 14(1) (1), 17496 - 17496, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Mounting evidence links Type 1 diabetes (T1D) with cognitive dysfunction, psychiatric disorders, and synaptic alterations; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Numerous synaptic proteins and synaptic adhesion molecules (SAMs) that orchestrate synaptic formation, restructuring, and elimination are essential for proper brain function. Currently, it is unclear whether the pathogenesis of T1D is related to the expression of synaptic proteins and SAMs. Here, we investigated whether T1D mice exhibited altered synaptic protein and SAM expression in the hippocampus and cortex. We discovered that T1D mice exhibited partially decreased levels of excitatory and inhibitory synapse proteins and SAMs, such as neurexins, neuroligins, and synaptic cell adhesion molecules. We also found that compared to control mice, T1D mice showed a marginal decrease in body weight and a significant increase in plasma glycoalbumin levels (a hyperglycemia marker). These results provide novel molecular-level insights into synaptic dysfunction in mice with T1D.Wiley, Apr. 2023, Physiological Reports, 11(8) (8), e15673, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Background Diosgenin, extracted from Dioscorea esculenta, has been reported to decrease prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels and any other inflammatory cytokine in rodents. However, it is still unclear whether D. esculenta intake suppressed PGE2 production and menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in younger female. Aim This study aims to investigate the effect of D. esculenta intake on PGE2 and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 (COX-2) levels and on menstrual pain and PMS in young women. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Methods Ten healthy young females were administered either a placebo or D. esculenta (300 mg/day) for 4 weeks, followed by a 4-week washout period. Fasting blood sample was taken from the fingertips on the second day of menstrual cycle began and obtained 24h before the last D. esculenta to avoid acute effects. Participants then switched treatments for 4 weeks as a second trial. Plasma PGE2 and COX-2 levels were measured before and after each trial. The visual analogue scale (VAS), McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ), and Daily Record of Severity of Problems (DRSP) were also evaluated. The study was set and conducted from 2019 to 2020. Results PGE2 and COX-2 levels significantly decreased after D. esculenta intake compared to placebo (p = 0.038, p = 0.042 each). The VAS and DRSP scores were also significantly lower after D. esculenta intake (p = 0.046, p = 0.035 each). Conclusion Four-week D. esculenta intake suppressed PGE2 and COX-2 levels resulting in an improvement in PMS symptoms and menstrual pain in young women.Oct. 2022, Nutrition and Health, 2601060221130889 - 2601060221130889, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- OBJECTIVE: Sulforaphane is a phytochemical that is commonly found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts. However, whether chronic sulforaphane ingestion suppresses heavy resistance exercise-induced muscle damage parameters in humans remains unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of oral chronic sulforaphane ingestion on heavy resistance exercise-induced muscle damage parameters. METHODS: The study had a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over design. Ten healthy young men (age: 22.0 ± 0.3 y; body weight: 62.6 ± 2.4 kg; height: 171.0 ± 0.1 cm) were administered placebo or sulforaphane (30 mg/d) for 4 wk at the first trial, then after a 4-wk washout period, the participants were administered the opposite treatment for 4 wk at the second trial. The participants were subjected to heavy resistance exercise (bench press, 85% of one-repetition maximum for three times with eight repetitions) after each administration, and blood samples were collected before and at 30 min and 24 h after each exercise session. RESULTS: In this study, 4 wk of sulforaphane intake decreased plasma levels of creatine kinase, especially creatine kinase levels from 30 min to 24 h and baseline to 24 h. Moreover, the change in interleukin-6 levels significantly decreased from baseline to 30 min on prolonged intake of sulforaphane. CONCLUSIONS: Together, these findings suggest that the oral chronic intake of sulforaphane suppressed the heavy resistance exercise-induced increase in muscle damage parameter and expression of inflammatory cytokines. The chronic use of sulforaphane may be a novel therapeutic candidate for the prevention of muscle damage in athletes training daily with high-intensity exercise.Apr. 2021, Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.), 90, 111266 - 111266, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Substantial evidence has linked dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels to the anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects of exercise. While 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation, activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), which is inhibited by AMPK, is required for adipocyte differentiation and positively regulates lipid accumulation. DHEA treatment activates the AMPK pathway in C2C12 myotubes. Hence, DHEA addition to preadipocytes and adipocytes might activate AMPK and inhibit mTORC1, resulting in the inhibition of adipogenesis and lipid accumulation. Therefore, we investigated the effect of DHEA on the AMPK pathway, mTORC1 activity, adipocyte differentiation, and lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. DHEA suppressed lipid accumulation and adipogenic marker expression during differentiation. It also activated AMPK signaling in preadipocytes and adipocytes and suppressed mTORC1 activity during differentiation. These results suggest that the activation of the AMPK pathway and inhibition of mTORC1 activity may mediate the anti-obesity effect of DHEA, providing novel molecular-level insights into its physiological functions.Elsevier BV, Jun. 2020, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 528(3) (3), 614 - 620, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- There is little consensus regarding the impacts of physical activity and nutrient intake on bone mineral density (BMD) in subjects with high or low levels of arterial stiffness. This study was performed to investigate whether physical activity and nutrient intake are associated with BMD in middle-aged women with high levels of arterial stiffness. The study population consisted of middle-aged women aged 40-64 years (n = 22). BMD was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) was used as an indicator of arterial stiffness. Subjects were divided into two groups by median cf-PWV. Physical activity in free-living conditions was evaluated using a triaxial accelerometer. Nutrient intake was also measured using the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. In the High-PWV group, BMD showed a significant negative correlation with age. Using a partial correlation model, BMD was associated with the number of steps and unsaturated fatty acid intake in the High-PWV group. These results suggest that BMD in middle-aged women with high levels of arterial stiffness may be associated with both the number of steps and nutritional intake. Recommendations of physical activity and nutritional intake for the prevention of osteopenia should include consideration of arterial stiffness.Mar. 2020, International journal of environmental research and public health, 17(5) (5), English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- This study examined whether satisfaction with social interactions and the number of people interacted with during walking groups is associated with affective responses among older adults. Twenty-six older adults were asked to participate in five walking group sessions. The participants walked together for 40-50 min. In every session, the participants reported their affective responses to walking (positive engagement, tranquility, and negative affect), their level of satisfaction with the social interactions experienced, and the number of people interacted with during the walk. The available data were from 107 person-sessions. Multilevel models revealed that, although a higher number of people interacted with was not significantly associated with improvements in any affective responses, higher satisfaction with the interactions was significantly associated with improvements in positive engagement at both the within- and between-person levels. This study found that higher satisfaction with the interactions was associated with desirable affective responses among older adults.Nov. 2019, Journal of aging and physical activity, 28(2) (2), 1 - 7, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of this study? Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) causes skeletal muscle atrophy; does it affect resistance training (RT)-mediated molecular adaptations and subsequent muscle hypertrophy? What is the main finding and its importance? Although skeletal muscle mass and regulation were not preserved under conditions of T2DM, the response of RT-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy was not impaired in T2DM rat skeletal muscle. These findings suggest that the capacity of RT-mediated muscle mass gain is not diminished in the T2DM condition. ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is known to cause skeletal muscle atrophy. However, it is not known whether T2DM affects resistance training (RT)-mediated molecular adaptations and subsequent muscle hypertrophy. Therefore, we investigated the effect of T2DM on response of skeletal muscle hypertrophy to chronic RT using a rat resistance exercise mimetic model. T2DM and healthy control rats were subjected to 18 bouts (3 times per week) of chronic RT on unilateral lower legs. RT significantly increased gastrocnemius muscle mass and myonuclei in both T2DM and healthy control rats to the same extent, even though T2DM caused muscle atrophy in the resting condition. Further, T2DM significantly reduced mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity (phosphorylation of p70S6KThr389 and 4E-BP1Thr37/46 ) to insulin stimulation and the number of myonuclei in the untrained basal condition, but RT-mediated adaptations were not affected by T2DM. These findings suggested that although the skeletal muscle mass and regulation were not preserved under basal conditions of T2DM, the response of RT-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy was not impaired in T2DM rat skeletal muscle.Oct. 2019, Experimental physiology, 104(10) (10), 1518 - 1531, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Resistance training (RT) has been known to be effective in maintaining and improving bone strength, which is based on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone quality. However, it is not clear whether RT is effective in improving bone strength in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who have a high risk of fracture. Therefore, we tested the effects of a 6-week RT regimen using percutaneous electrical stimulation in T2DM model rats, male Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF), and its control, Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO). After 6 weeks of RT, tibial BMD in RT legs was significantly higher than that in control (CON) legs in both groups. In diaphyseal cortical bone, bone area/tissue area, and cortical thickness was significantly increased in RT legs compared with CON legs in both groups. Cortical porosity was highly observed in OLETF compared with LETO, but RT improved cortical porosity in both groups. Interestingly, trabecular number, trabecular thickness and trabecular space as well as BMD and bone volume/tissue volume in proximal tibial metaphyseal trabecular bone were significantly improved in RT legs compared with CON legs in both groups. In contrast, connectivity density and structural model index were not affected by RT. These results indicate that the 6-week RT regimen effectively increased BMD and improved bone quality in T2DM model rats as well as control rats. Therefore, RT may have the potential to improve bone strength and reduce fracture risk, even in patients with T2DM.American Physiological Society, 2019, Physiological Reports, 7(6) (6), e14046, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a precursor of sex steroid hormones and is converted to testosterone and estradiol. Normally, androgens and estrogens produced adrenal cortex, testis, and ovary; however, recent studies revealed androgens and estrogens are synthesized by peripheral tissues such as brain, skin, liver, kidney, bone, etc. We found skeletal muscles are also capable of synthesizing androgens and estrogens from DHEA. Circulating DHEA provides substrates required for conversion into potent androgens and estrogens in peripheral tissues. Sex steroid hormone administration has important roles: one is that the enhancement of protein synthesis and anabolism, resulting in muscle growth and increased muscle strength. The other is improvement of hyperglycemia through the activation of glucose signaling pathway in skeletal muscle as well as acceleration of muscle lipid metabolism that increase peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and PPAR delta (PPARδ). We introduce the effect of DHEA and sex steroid hormones administration on muscle glucose and lipid metabolisms as well as the effect of sex steroid hormone on the muscle hypertrophy.Lead, 2018, Vitamins and hormones, 108, 205 - 221, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Skeletal muscle can synthesize testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) via steroidogenic enzymes in vitro, but hormone levels and steroidogenic enzyme expression decline with aging. Resistance exercise has been shown to increase in plasma sex steroid hormone levels. However, it remains unclear whether resistance training can restore impaired steroidogenic enzyme expressions in older individuals. Six young and 13 older men were recruited, and muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis at basal state. The same group of older subjects underwent resistance training involving knee extension and flexion exercises for 12 wk, and post-training biopsies were performed 4-5 d after the last exercise session. Muscular sex steroid hormone levels and sex steroidgenesis-related enzyme expressions were significantly lower in older subjects than younger ones at baseline, but 12 wk of resistance training significantly restored hormone levels (DHEA: 432±26 at baseline, 682±31 pg/μg protein, DHT: 6.2±0.9 at baseline, 9.8±1.4 pg/μg protein). Furthermore, the steroidogenesis-related enzymes such as 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD), 17β-HSD, and 5α-reductase expressions were significantly restored by resistance training. We conclude progressive resistance training restores age-related declines in sex steroidogenic enzyme and muscle sex steroid hormone levels in older men.Apr. 2014, FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 28(4) (4), 1891 - 7, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The ability of exercise to improve hyperglycemia by enhancing glucose metabolism in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic patients is well established. We reported sex steroid hormones can be locally synthesized in skeletal muscle and decrease fasting blood glucose levels in obese rats. Here, we determined whether exercise-induced production of sex steroid hormones in skeletal muscle could directly reverse hyperglycemia in the Zucker diabetic fatty rat model using osmotic mini pump. Thirty Zucker diabetic fatty rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: control, exercise, or exercise with continuous infusion of 5α-reductase inhibitor. The results indicated 6 weeks of exercise significantly reduced serum insulin and fasting glucose levels compared to control group. Dehydroepiandrosterone, 5α-dehydrotestosterone, and 5α-reductase levels were all significantly higher in skeletal muscle of the exercise group. Moreover, exercise increased glucose transporter-4 translocation with a concomitant upregulation of phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase, protein kinase B and C-ζ/λ. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between fasting glucose and muscular DHT levels. Interestingly, the observed exercise-induced improvements in serum insulin and fasting glucose levels were all suppressed by administration of 5α-reductase inhibitor. These results indicated the exercise-induced improvements in glucose metabolism signaling and glucose levels may be directly attributed to the increased levels of sex steroid hormones within skeletal muscles.OMICS International, 2013, Journal of Diabetes and Metabolism, 4(1) (1), 1 - 239, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Sarcopenia is the age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that develops slowly over decades and becomes a significant factor to disability among the elderly population. Recent studies have indicated that blunted anabolic response to nutritional stimuli significantly contributes to the development of sarcopenia. In the present article, we will review recent findings on the role of nutritional intake on muscle protein metabolism in the elderly. This review will particularly focus on acute anabolic responses to amino acids and protein intake, age-associated changes in the response of muscle protein to meal intake, and the role of insulin resistance in muscle protein metabolism. The relationship between age-associated decline of sex steroid hormones and muscle anabolism will also be discussed in addition to the benefits of resistance exercise in muscle protein anabolism. Additionally, recent evidence on the time-course of anabolic response, molecular regulation of muscle protein synthesis, and long-term training effects will be discussed. Finally, recent evidence on the cumulative effect of resistance exercise in combination with nutritional supplementation on muscle protein metabolism will be discussed to propose possible preventative measures against sarcopenia.The Japanese Society of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2013, TheJournal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine., 2(3) (3), 295 - 300, English

It was also suggested that the type of emotion regulation strategy used was related to social connectedness and loneliness. On the other hand, the use of others for emotion regulation decreased with age, and emotion regulation used by spouses who had lived together for a long time did not predict their own mental health, suggesting that emotion regulation strategies in old age may be completed within the individual.

In a cross-sectional study of elderly subjects, a significant relationship was found between blood vitamin D concentration and limb non-fat mass. As an intervention experiment, the expression of VDR increased in both animal and human skeletal muscle following a single session of resistance exercise, indicating that vitamin D metabolism is altered in response to stimuli that increase muscle mass. However, despite the increase in VDR expression associated with denervation, pre-elevated blood vitamin D levels did not prevent denervation-induced muscle atrophy.

To directly evidence exercise effect by using inhibitor of sex steroid hormone synthase, Male obese type 2 diabetic rats (OLETF) were randomly divided into 4 groups; sedentary obese control, 8-week aerobic training, aerobic training with continuous infusion of 5α-reductase inhibitor, or aerobic training with continuous infusion of P450 aromatase inhibitor groups. Aerobic exercise training in OLETF significantly reduced carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), an index of arterial stiffness, as compared with the sedentary obese control group, whereas the training-induced reduction of cfPWV was not suppressed by administrations of the 5α-reductase and P450 aromatase inhibitors. These results suggest that sex steroids hormones may be not associated with aerobic exercise training-induced reduction of arterial stiffness.

Thirty-four healthy middle-aged and older subjects were divided into two groups: exercise intervention and sedentary controls. Subjects in the training group completed 8-week of aerobic exercise (60-70% peak oxygen uptake for 45 min, 3 days/week). In the training group, arterial stiffness indexes were significantly decreased, and circulating levels of apelin and irisin were significantly increased after the intervention. Additionally, significant negative correlations between the training effects of circulating apelin and irisin levels and arterial stiffness indexes were observed. These results suggest that the increased in circulating apelin and irisin levels may be associated with exercise training-induced alternation of arterial stiffness in middle-aged and older adults.

The exogenous increase in ROS stimulated mTORC1 activity at basal state. However, it did not further stimulate resistance exercise-induced mTORC1 activation.

First, high intensity intermittent exercise elevated AMPK whose activitiy is exercise-intensity dependent, Second, AMPK activation enahces PGC1α expression in exercised muscle. Third, PGC1αinduced SPARC protein. Forth, this increased expression of SPARC elvated its serum concentrataion after exercise.The incrased concentration of SPARC which is kwnon to induce aptosis of pre-cancer cell of ACF in colon may reduce risk of developing colon cancer.

Resistance exercise activates MMP-2 and MMP-9 during initial phase of resistance training but this response is attenuated with continuation of resistance training in rats. Resistance training increased β1-integrin (cell adhesion molecule) expression but not the other ECM proteins. Increases in integrins (α7- and β1-integrin) and reduced MMPs activities were also observed in older men compared with young men. These results suggest that integrins and MMPs play important role in the exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy.

However, it remains unclear whether resistance training can restore impaired steroidogenic enzyme expressions in older individuals. In this study, muscular sex steroid hormone levels and sex steroidgenesis-related enzyme expressions were significantly lower in older subjects than younger ones at baseline, but 12 wk of resistance training significantly restored hormone levels (each P<0.05). Furthermore, the steroidogenesis-related enzymes such as 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD), 17β-HSD, and 5α-reductase expressions were significantly restored by resistance training. We conclude progressive resistance training restores age-related declines in sex steroidogenic enzyme and muscle sex steroid hormone levels in older men.

Diosgenin, a steroid structurally similar to DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), however, it is still unclear whether diosgeninimproves hyperglycemia in the type 1 diabetes model rats through an increase muscular GLUT4 signaling. As a result, diosgenin injections decreased blood glucose level. Moreover, GLUT4 translocation, as well as phosphorylation of Akt and PKC, increased significantly by diosgenin or dioscorea administration. In study 2, we determined whether chronic diosgenin administration improve insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes model rat. 8-week diosgenin administration significantly improved fasting blood glucose level and insulin resistance. Accordingly, diosgenin administration may be possible new therapetic candidates for type 1 and 2 diabetes.
