Summary To examine the influence of exercise intensity on the increases in vastus lateralis GLUT4 mRNA and protein after exercise, six untrained men exercised for 60 min at 39 ± 3% peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) (Lo) or 27 ± 2 min at 83 ± 2% VO2 peak (Hi) in counterbalanced order. Preexercise muscle glycogen levels were not different between trials (Lo: 408 ± 35 mmol/kg dry mass; Hi: 420 ± 43 mmol/kg dry mass); however, postexercise levels were lower (P < 0.05) in Hi (169 ± 18 mmol/kg dry mass) compared with Lo (262 ± 35 mmol/kg dry mass). Thus calculated muscle glycogen utilization was greater (P < 0.05) in Hi (251 ± 24 mmol/kg) than in Lo (146 ± 34). Exercise resulted in similar increases in GLUT4 gene expression in both trials. GLUT4 mRNA was increased immediately at the end of exercise (~2-fold; P < 0.05) and remained elevated after 3 h of postexercise recovery. When measured 3 h after exercise, total crude membrane GLUT4 protein levels were 106% higher in Lo (3.3 ± 0.7 vs. 1.6 ± 0.3 arbitrary units) and 61% higher in Hi (2.9 ± 0.5 vs. 1.8 ± 0.5 arbitrary units) relative to preexercise levels. A main effect for exercise was observed, with no significant differences between trials. In conclusion, exercise at ~40 and ~80% VO2 peak, with total work equal, increased GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 protein in human skeletal muscle to a similar extent, despite differences in exercise intensity and duration.
