Adipose Tissue Insulin Action and IL-6 Signaling after Exercise in Obese Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Adipose tissue insulin action is impaired in obesity and is associated with inflammation, macrophage infiltration, and polarization toward a proinflammatory phenotype. Acute exercise can reduce markers of adipose inflammation, including interleukin (IL) 6, in parallel with improvements in insulin action; however, others have provided evidence that IL-6 has anti-inflammatory properties. PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the relation between IL-6 signaling, macrophage infiltration, and polarization and insulin action in inguinal fat after acute exercise in obese, insulin-resistant mice. METHODS: Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a low-fat diet (10% kcal lard) or a high-fat diet (HFD, 60% kcal lard) for 7 wk and then underwent an acute bout of exercise (2-h treadmill running: 15 m·min, 5% incline). RESULTS: The HFD resulted in increased body mass, glucose intolerance, and attenuated insulin-induced AKT Thr308 phosphorylation in inguinal fat. This was accompanied by increases in indices of macrophage infiltration (F4/80, CD68, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression) and polarization toward an M1 phenotype (increased expression of CD11c, CD11c/galactose-type C-type lectin 1, and inducible nitric oxide synthase). Immunofluorescence imaging demonstrated increased F4/80- and CD11c-positive cells with the HFD. Two hours after exercise, the insulin-induced activation of AKT Th308 phosphorylation was recovered in HFD mice. This was accompanied by an upregulation of IL-6 and IL-10 signaling, as demonstrated by increased expression of IL-6, IL-10, and SOCS3 as well as STAT3 phosphorylation. Furthermore, acute exercise resulted in a shift toward reduction in M1 polarization indicated by a decrease in the ratio of CD11c to galactose-type C-type lectin 1 mRNA as well as a decline in F4/80- and CD11c-positive cells. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest a link between exercise-induced increases in IL-6, reductions in indices of M1 macrophages, and increased IL-10, a reputed anti-inflammatory cytokine with insulin-sensitizing properties.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
