BACKGROUND: Testosterone regulates nutrient and energy balance to maintain protein synthesis and metabolism in cardiomyocytes, but supraphysiological concentrations induce cardiac hypertrophy. Previously, we determined that testosterone increased glucose uptake­via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)­after acute treatment in cardiomyocytes. However, whether elevated glucose uptake is involved in long-term changes of glucose metabolism or is required during cardiomyocyte growth remained unknown. In this study, we hypothesized that glucose uptake and glycolysis increase in testosterone-treated cardiomyocytes through AMPK and androgen receptor (AR). METHODS: Cultured cardiomyocytes were stimulated with 100 nM testosterone for 24 h, and hypertrophy was verified by increased cell size and mRNA levels of ß-myosin heavy chain (ß-mhc). Glucose uptake was assessed by 2-NBDG. Glycolysis and glycolytic capacity were determined by measuring extracellular acidification rate (ECAR). RESULTS: Testosterone induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy that was accompanied by increased glucose uptake, glycolysis enhancement and upregulated mRNA expression of hexokinase 2. In addition, testosterone increased AMPK phosphorylation (Thr172), while inhibition of both AMPK and AR blocked glycolysis and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by testosterone. Moreover, testosterone supplementation in adult male rats by 5 weeks induced cardiac hypertrophy and upregulated ß-mhc, Hk2 and Pfk2 mRNA levels. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that testosterone stimulates glucose metabolism by activation of AMPK and AR signaling which are critical to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

RESUMEN: La UTI de Temuco es el único centro que recibe pacientes críticos en toda la Novena Región, que tiene un alto número de población mapuche y el mayor índice de pobreza de Chile. Desde 2017 Temuco cuenta con una nueva Unidad de Pacientes Críticos. Queríamos mostrar nuestra realidad de enero a diciembre de 2018. MÉTODO: Se revisaron y analizaron los egresos del período de un año descrito: edad, sexo, etnicidad, procedencia, diagnóstico de ingreso, Apache II, comorbilidad, días de hospitalización, ventilación mecánica y mortalidad. RESULTADOS: de 683 altas en el período de estudio, se obtuvieron 500 (73,3%) expedientes clínicos con datos suficientes para revisión: 54,2% hombres. Edad media 57,8 (15-92), 14,4% etnia mapuche. El 49,4% de los pacientes procedía de cirugía, el 26,4% de Urgencias y el 13,8% de UTI. Los diagnósticos de ingreso fueron, 36% neurológico, 20% digestivo, 18% respiratorio. El Apache II de admisiones fue de 16,27 (0-52). Los días de hospitalización fueron 9,7. El 92% de los ingresos fueron pacientes que requirieron ventilación mecánica. CONCLUSIONES: Somos una unidad de alta complejidad, en parte, por la complejidad de las cirugías que aquí se realizan, lo que requiere estancia en UCI posquirúrgica.
