The Effect and Mechanism of Regular Exercise on Improving Insulin Impedance: Based on the Perspective of Cellular and Molecular Levels.

Insulin resistance is more common in the elderly, and with the improvement in people's living standards and changes in lifestyle habits, the incidence of insulin resistance in other age groups is also increasing year by year. Overweight and obesity caused by abnormal fat metabolism or accumulation can significantly reduce glucose intake, which is the direct cause of insulin resistance and the trigger for the occurrence and development of type II diabetes. This article reviews and analyzes relevant literature on empirical research on the effect of regular exercise on improving insulin resistance. It was found that the most important step in carbohydrate metabolism is the translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to the cell membrane, carrying water-soluble glucose through the lipid soluble cell membrane to complete carbohydrate transport. The process of glucose transporter protein translocation to the cell membrane can be driven by two different signaling pathways: one is the insulin information transfer pathway (ITP), the second is to induce the ITP of monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) through hypoxia or muscle contraction. For type II diabetes patients, the insulin signal transmission pathway through insulin receptors (IRS, IRS) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) (PI3K) is damaged, which results in the decrease in glucose absorption stimulated by insulin in skeletal muscle, while the noninsulin signal transmission pathway of AMPK in these patients is normal. It can be seen that regular exercise can regulate glucose intake and the metabolism of skeletal muscle, improve insulin resistance, reduce fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetes patients, and thus, effectively regulate blood glucose. However, many steps in the molecular mechanism of how exercise training improves systemic insulin resistance are still not fully understood, and further discussion is needed in the future.
