Obesity is associated with hyperlipidemia and enlarged intramyocellular triglyceride (imcTG) stores. The latter is strongly correlated with muscle insulin resistance. However, whether hyperlipidemia plays a role in imcTG accumulation is unknown. In the present study, the effects of plasma fatty acids on imcTG fractional turnover rate (FTR) and synthesis in skeletal muscle of high fat-fed obese rats have been examined using pulse-chase technique. imcTG was prelabeled (pulse) by continuous infusion of U- (14)Cglycerol and then the loss of (14)C-labels from imcTG was chased while exogenous fatty acids were infused at 0 (saline), 1 (L) or 3 (H) micromol/kg/min. imcTG synthesis was determined using 2- (3)Hglycerol during the chase. L and H fatty acid infusions raised plasma fatty acids by 14% (p=0.02) and 30% (p=0.001), respectively, while plasma insulin and glycerol and the rate of glycerol appearance remained unchanged (p>0.05). imcTG FTR was suppressed by 36-40% and 48% in gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior, respectively (both p<0.05), and imcTG synthesis was suppressed by 50-60% in the same muscles (both p<0.05). In contrast, neither turnover nor synthesis of imcTG in soleus was affected by fatty acid infusion (p>0.05). imcTG content and the activities of diglyceride acyltransferase and hormone sensitive lipase were not affected by fatty acid infusion. The findings suggested that elevated plasma fatty acids suppress imcTG turnover and synthesis simultaneously and thus do not appear to promote imcTG accumulation in this obesity model at least in short term.  相似文献

Objective: To understand the role of hyperinsulinemia in intramyocellular (imc) triglyceride (TG) accumulation and in regulating imcTG turnover. Research Methods and Procedures: imcTG was first prelabeled by continuous infusion of [U‐14C]glycerol (pulse), and then the rate of label loss from the prelabeled imcTG pool (turnover) in gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, and soleus muscle of awake, high‐fat‐fed obese rats during the subsequent hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp experiments (chase) was determined. Results: Post‐absorptive basal fractional imcTG turnover rate in soleus was 0.010 ± 0.001/min, significantly lower than that in gastrocnemius (0.026 ± 0.002/min, p < 0.001) or tibialis anterior (0.030 ± 0.002/min, p < 0.0001), a pattern reciprocal to their imcTG pool size. Insulin infusion at 25 pmol/kg per minute resulted in pathophysiological hyperinsulinemia (5‐fold increase over the baseline value). This caused an increase in imcTG turnover by 3‐fold in soleus (0.029 ± 0.006/min, p = 0.002) but a decrease in gastrocnemius (0.012 ± 0.003/min, p = 0.001) and in tibialis anterior (0.0064 ± 0.001/min, p < 0.0001). Pathophysiological hyperinsulinemia suppressed hormone‐sensitive lipase activity in heart (p = 0.01) and mesenteric fat (p = 0.05) but not in skeletal muscle (p > 0.05). The pool size of imcTG was not affected by hyperinsulinemia. Discussion: The results demonstrated muscle‐type dependence in the response of imcTG turnover to hyperinsulinemia in the obesity model. The reciprocal insulin effects on imcTG turnover in oxidative vs. oxidative‐glycolytic muscle indicated a possibility that oxidative muscle contributes more to insulin resistance under hyperinsulinemia if imcTG‐fatty acid oxidation is a function of turnover. imcTG turnover does not seem to regulate imcTG pool size acutely.  相似文献

Objective: We showed glucose‐dependent lipolytic oscillations in adipocytes that are modulated by free fatty acids (FFAs). We hypothesized that the oscillations are driven by oscillatory glucose metabolism that leads to oscillatory formation of α‐glycerophosphate (α‐GP), oscillatory removal of long‐chain coenzyme A (LC‐CoA) by α‐GP to form triglycerides, and oscillatory relief of LC‐CoA inhibition of triglyceride lipases. This study examined the effect of insulin on this hypothesis. Research Methods and Procedures: Samples were collected every minute from perifused rat adipocytes during the basal state followed by insulin (±glucose) or isoproterenol (±insulin; n = 4 each). Results: Insulin caused a significant increase in glycerol release (18%), with a concomitant significant decrease in FFA release (38%). Without glucose, insulin had no effect on glycerol release while still decreasing FFA release (35%). Insulin (5 μU/mL) attenuated the response of lipolysis to isoproterenol (~3‐fold increase with isoproterenol vs. 2‐fold increase with insulin + isoproterenol). However, 1 mU/mL insulin amplified the lipolytic response (~5‐fold increase in glycerol release with insulin + isoproterenol), with a concomitant increase in FFA reesterification (no increase in FFA release compared with isoproterenol alone). Discussion: We interpret these results to be due to insulin's ability to increase glucose uptake and conversion to α‐GP, thus removing LC‐CoA inhibition of triglyceride lipases. While the physiological importance of lipolytic oscillations remains to be determined, we hypothesize that such an oscillation may play an important role in the delivery of FFAs to the liver, β cells, and other tissues.  相似文献

Lipolysis may regulate liver free fatty acid (FFA) uptake and triglyceride accumulation; both are potential causes of insulin resistance and liver damage. We evaluated whether 1) systemic FFA release is the major determinant of liver FFA uptake in fasting humans in vivo and 2) the beneficial metabolic effects of FFA lowering can be explained by a reduction in liver triglyceride content. Sixteen healthy subjects were subdivided in two groups of similar characteristics to undergo positron emission tomography with [(11)C]acetate and [(11)C]palmitate to quantify liver FFA metabolism (n = 8), or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure hepatic fat content (n = 8), before and after the acute lowering of circulating FFAs by using the antilipolytic agent acipimox. MRS was again repeated after a 1-wk treatment period. Acipimox suppressed FFA levels while stimulating hepatic fractional extraction of FFAs (P < 0.05). As a result, fasting liver FFA uptake was decreased by 79% (P = 0.0002) in tight association with lipolysis (r = 0.996, P < 0.0001). The 1-wk treatment induced a significant improvement in systemic (+30%) and liver (+70%) insulin sensitivity (P < 0.05) and decreased circulating triglycerides (-20%, P = 0.06) and liver enzymes (ALT -20%, P = 0.03). No change in liver fat content was observed after either acute or sustained FFA suppression. We conclude that acute and sustained inhibitions of lipolysis and liver FFA uptake fail to deplete liver fat in healthy human subjects. Liver FFA uptake was decreased in proportion to FFA delivery. As a consequence, liver and systemic insulin sensitivity were improved, together with liver function, independently of changes in hepatic triglyceride accumulation.  相似文献

Skeletal muscle insulin resistance may be aggravated by intramyocellular accumulation of fatty acid-derived metabolites that inhibit insulin signaling. We tested the hypothesis that enhanced fatty acid oxidation in myocytes should protect against fatty acid-induced insulin resistance by limiting lipid accumulation. L6 myotubes were transduced with adenoviruses encoding carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) isoforms or beta-galactosidase (control). Two to 3-fold overexpression of L-CPT I, the endogenous isoform in L6 cells, proportionally increased oxidation of the long-chain fatty acids palmitate and oleate and increased insulin stimulation of [(14)C]glucose incorporation into glycogen by 60% while enhancing insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of p38MAPK. Incubation of control cells with 0.2 mm palmitate for 18 h caused accumulation of triacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, and ceramide (but not long-chain acyl-CoA) and decreased insulin-stimulated [(14)C]glucose incorporation into glycogen (60%), [(3)H]deoxyglucose uptake (60%), and protein kinase B phosphorylation (20%). In the context of L-CPT I overexpression, palmitate preincubation produced a relative decrease in insulin-stimulated incorporation of [(14)C]glucose into glycogen (60%) and [(3)H]deoxyglucose uptake (40%) but did not inhibit phosphorylation of protein kinase B. Due to the enhancement of insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism induced by L-CPT I overexpression itself, net insulin-stimulated incorporation of [(14)C]glucose into glycogen and [(3)H]deoxyglucose uptake in L-CPT I-transduced, palmitate-treated cells were significantly greater than in palmitate-treated control cells (71 and 75% greater, respectively). However, L-CPT I overexpression failed to decrease intracellular triacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, ceramide, or long-chain acyl-CoA. We propose that accelerated beta-oxidation in muscle cells exerts an insulin-sensitizing effect independently of changes in intracellular lipid content.  相似文献

We measured infarct size after coronary occlusion (30 min) and reperfusion (24 h) in genetic non-insulin-dependent Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats with and without 4-wk cholesterol feeding. Infarct size was similar in ZDF rats and lean control rats but was significantly larger in cholesterol-fed diabetic rats than in cholesterol-fed lean rats (P < 0.05). Plasma levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides were significantly higher in diabetic rats and were not influenced by cholesterol feeding. The increase in total plasma cholesterol induced by cholesterol feeding was significantly greater in diabetic rats than in lean rats (P < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between total plasma cholesterol and infarct size (P < 0.05). Myeloperoxidase activity, as an index of neutrophil accumulation, was significantly higher and expression of P-selectin was more marked in the ischemic myocardium of cholesterol-fed diabetic rats than of cholesterol-fed lean rats. Acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) of aortic rings was markedly impaired in cholesterol-fed diabetic rats. Thus cholesterol feeding significantly exacerbated myocardial injury produced by coronary occlusion-reperfusion in non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats, possibly because of enhanced expression of P-selectin and impairment of EDR in the coronary bed.  相似文献

To investigate the sites of the free fatty acid (FFA) effects to increase basal hepatic glucose production and to impair hepatic insulin action, we performed 2-h and 7-h Intralipid + heparin (IH) and saline infusions in the basal fasting state and during hyperinsulinemic clamps in overnight-fasted rats. We measured endogenous glucose production (EGP), total glucose output (TGO, the flux through glucose-6-phosphatase), glucose cycling (GC, index of flux through glucokinase = TGO - EGP), hepatic glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P) content, and hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase and glucokinase activities. Plasma FFA levels were elevated about threefold by IH. In the basal state, IH increased TGO, in vivo glucose-6-phosphatase activity (TGO/G-6-P), and EGP (P < 0.001). During the clamp compared with the basal experiments, 2-h insulin infusion increased GC and in vivo glucokinase activity (GC/TGO; P < 0.05) and suppressed EGP (P < 0.05) but failed to significantly affect TGO and in vivo glucose-6-phosphatase activity. IH decreased the ability of insulin to increase GC and in vivo glucokinase activity (P < 0.01), and at 7 h, it also decreased the ability of insulin to suppress EGP (P < 0.001). G-6-P content was comparable in all groups. In vivo glucose-6-phosphatase and glucokinase activities did not correspond to their in vitro activities as determined in liver tissue, suggesting that stable changes in enzyme activity were not responsible for the FFA effects. The data suggest that, in overnight-fasted rats, FFA increased basal EGP and induced hepatic insulin resistance at different sites. 1) FFA increased basal EGP through an increase in TGO and in vivo glucose-6-phosphatase activity, presumably due to a stimulatory allosteric effect of fatty acyl-CoA on glucose-6-phosphatase. 2) FFA induced hepatic insulin resistance (decreased the ability of insulin to suppress EGP) through an impairment of insulin's ability to increase GC and in vivo glucokinase activity, presumably due to an inhibitory allosteric effect of fatty acyl-CoA on glucokinase and/or an impairment in glucokinase translocation.  相似文献

We investigated the effect of subdiaphragmatic vagal deafferentation (SDA) on food intake, body weight gain, and metabolism in obese (fa/fa) and lean (Fa/?) Zucker rats. Before and after recovery from surgery, food intake and body weight gain were recorded, and plasma glucose and insulin were measured in tail-prick blood samples. After implantation of a jugular vein catheter, an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was performed, followed by minimal modeling to estimate the insulin sensitivity index. Food intake relative to metabolic body weight (g/kg(0.75)) and daily body weight gain after surgery were lower (P < 0.05) in SDA than in sham obese but not lean rats. Before surgery, plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were lower (P < 0.05) in lean than in obese rats but did not differ between surgical groups within both genotypes. Four weeks after surgery, plasma glucose and insulin were still similar in SDA and sham lean rats but lower (P < 0.05) in SDA than in sham obese rats. IVGTT revealed a downward shift of the plasma insulin profile by SDA in obese but not lean rats, whereas the plasma glucose profile was unaffected. SDA decreased (P < 0.05) area under the curve for insulin but not glucose in obese rats. The insulin sensitivity index was higher in lean than in obese rats but was not affected by SDA in both genotypes. These results suggest that elimination of vagal afferent signals from the upper gut reduces food intake and body weight gain without affecting the insulin sensitivity index measured by minimal modeling in obese Zucker rats.  相似文献

The rise in obesity‐related morbidity in children and adolescents requires urgent prevention and treatment strategies. Currently, only limited data are available on the effects of exercise programs on insulin resistance, and visceral, hepatic, and intramyocellular fat accumulation. We hypothesized that a 12‐week controlled aerobic exercise program without weight loss reduces visceral, hepatic, and intramyocellular fat content and decreases insulin resistance in sedentary Hispanic adolescents. Twenty‐nine postpubertal (Tanner stage IV and V), Hispanic adolescents, 15 obese (7 boys, 8 girls; 15.6 ± 0.4 years; 33.7 ± 1.1 kg/m2; 38.3 ± 1.5% body fat) and 14 lean (10 boys, 4 girls; 15.1 ± 0.3 years; 20.6 ± 0.8 kg/m2; 18.9 ± 1.5% body fat), completed a 12‐week aerobic exercise program (4 × 30 min/week at ≥70% of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak)). Measurements of cardiovascular fitness, visceral, hepatic, and intramyocellular fat content (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)), and insulin resistance were obtained at baseline and postexercise. In both groups, fitness increased (obese: 13 ± 2%, lean: 16 ± 4%; both P < 0.01). In obese participants, intramyocellular fat remained unchanged, whereas hepatic fat content decreased from 8.9 ± 3.2 to 5.6 ± 1.8%; P < 0.05 and visceral fat content from 54.7 ± 6.0 to 49.6 ± 5.5 cm2; P < 0.05. Insulin resistance decreased indicated by decreased fasting insulin (21.8 ± 2.7 to 18.2 ± 2.4 µU/ml; P < 0.01) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) (4.9 ± 0.7 to 4.1 ± 0.6; P < 0.01). The decrease in visceral fat correlated with the decrease in fasting insulin (R2 = 0.40; P < 0.05). No significant changes were observed in any parameter in lean participants except a small increase in lean body mass (LBM). Thus, a controlled aerobic exercise program, without weight loss, reduced hepatic and visceral fat accumulation, and decreased insulin resistance in obese adolescents.  相似文献

We investigated the effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists on serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in diet-induced insulin resistant SD rats and ZDF rats. SD rats fed a high fat/sucrose diet showed increases in serum insulin and VEGF (both p < 0.01). Treatment with a PPARgamma agonist GI262570 normalized the diet-elevated insulin and VEGF (both p < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between serum insulin and VEGF (p < 0.05) in SD rats. ZDF rats had higher serum glucose, insulin, and VEGF than Zucker lean rats (all p < 0.01). Treatment of ZDF rats with PPARgamma agonist pioglitazone decreased serum glucose and VEGF (both p <0.01). There was a positive correlation between glucose and VEGF in ZDF rats (p < 0.05). In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, GI262570 did not affect insulin-stimulated VEGF secretion. These studies demonstrated that hyperinsulinemia in SD rats and hyperglycemia in ZDF rats were associated with increased serum VEGF; PPARgamma agonists normalized serum insulin, glucose, and VEGF, but did not affect VEGF secretion in vitro.  相似文献

Hepatic glucose fluxes and intracellular movement of glucokinase (GK) in response to increased plasma glucose and insulin were examined in 10-wk-old, 6-h-fasted, conscious Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and lean littermates. Under basal conditions, plasma glucose (mmol/l) and glucose turnover rate (GTR; micromol.kg(-1).min(-1)) were slightly higher in ZDF (8.4 +/- 0.3 and 53 +/- 7, respectively) than in lean rats (6.2 +/- 0.2 and 45 +/- 4, respectively), whereas plasma insulin (pmol/l) was higher in ZDF (1,800 +/- 350) than in lean rats (150 +/- 14). The ratio of hepatic uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucose 3H specific activity to plasma glucose 3H specific activity ([3H]UDP-G/[3H]G; %), total hepatic glucose output (micromol.kg(-1).min(-1)), and hepatic glucose cycling (micromol.kg(-1).min(-1)) were higher in ZDF (35 +/- 5, 87 +/- 16, and 33 +/- 10, respectively) compared with lean rats (18 +/- 3, 56 +/- 6, and 11 +/- 2, respectively). [3H]glucose incorporation into glycogen (micromol glucose/g liver) was similar in lean (1.0 +/- 0.7) and ZDF (1.6 +/- 0.8) rats. GK was predominantly located in the nucleus in both rats. With elevated plasma glucose and insulin, GTR (micromol.kg(-1).min(-1)), [3H]UDP-G/[3H]G (%), and [3H]glucose incorporation into glycogen (micromol glucose/g liver) were markedly higher in lean (191 +/- 22, 62 +/- 3, and 5.0 +/- 1.4, respectively) but similar in ZDF rats (100 +/- 6, 37 +/- 3, and 1.4 +/- 0.4, respectively) compared with basal conditions. GK translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm occurred in lean but not in ZDF rats. The unresponsiveness of hepatic glucose flux to the rise in plasma glucose and insulin seen in prediabetic ZDF rats was associated with impaired GK translocation.  相似文献

Insulin resistance in acromegaly causes glucose intolerance and diabetes, but it is unknown whether it involves protein metabolism, since both insulin and growth hormone promote protein accretion. The effects of acromegaly and of its surgical cure on the insulin sensitivity of glucose and amino acid/protein metabolism were evaluated by infusing [6,6-(2)H(2)]glucose, [1-(13)C]leucine, and [2-(15)N]glutamine during a euglycemic insulin (1 mU x kg(-1) x min(-1)) clamp in 12 acromegalic patients, six studied again 6 mo after successful adenomectomy, and eight healthy controls. Acromegalic patients, compared with postsurgical and control subjects, had higher postabsorptive glucose concentration (5.5 +/- 0.3 vs. 4.9 +/- 0.2 micromol/l, P < 0.05, and 5.1 +/- 0.1 micromol/l) and flux (2.7 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.0 +/- 0.2 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.01, and 2.2 +/- 0.1 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.05) and reduced insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (+15 +/- 9 vs. +151 +/- 18%, P < 0.01, and 219 +/- 58%, P < 0.001 from basal). Postabsorptive leucine metabolism was similar among groups. In acromegalic and postsurgical subjects, insulin suppressed less than in controls the endogenous leucine flux (-9 +/- 1 and -12 +/- 2 vs. -18 +/- 2%, P < 0.001 and P < 0.05), the nonoxidative leucine disposal (-4 +/- 3 and -1 +/- 3 vs. -18 +/- 2%, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05), respectively, indexes of proteolysis and protein synthesis, and leucine oxidation (-17 +/- 6% in postsurgical patients vs. -26 +/- 6% in controls, P < 0.05). Within 6 mo, surgery reverses insulin resistance for glucose but not for protein metabolism. After adenomectomy, more leucine is oxidized during hyperinsulinemia.  相似文献

Glycated insulin was evaluated in plasma and biological tissues of diabetic animal models by immunocytochemistry (ICC) and a novel radioimmunoassay. Glycated insulin circulated at 0.10 +/- 0.04 ng/ml and 2.20 +/- 0.14 ng/ml in lean and diabetic obese (ob/ob) mice, corresponding to 12.5 and 9.8% total plasma insulin, respectively. The concentration of glycated insulin was elevated 22-fold in obese mice compared to controls (P < 0.001). In the pancreas, glycated insulin was 48 +/- 10 and 83 +/- 4 ng/g wt (P < 0.05) in lean and obese mice, respectively, representing approximately 2% total insulin in the diabetic pancreas (4.60 +/- 0.17 microg/g wt). ICC revealed fluorescent positively stained cells in pancreatic islets from hydrocortisone (HC)-treated diabetic rats. Fasting of HC-treated rats, resulted in 3-fold and 15-fold reductions in plasma glycated insulin (P < 0.01) and insulin (P < 0.001), respectively. Following a 30 min feeding period in these insulin resistant rats, plasma glucose, insulin, and glycated insulin increased (P < 0.001) rapidly with 1.4-, 1.6-, and 2.9-fold elevations, respectively. Injection of HC-treated rats with insulin (50 U/kg) resulted in a rapid 33% decrease of plasma glucose (P < 0.001) and a marked 4-fold increase in plasma insulin (P < 0.01), whereas glycated insulin concentrations remained unchanged. Since glycation of insulin impairs biological activity, physiologically regulated secretion of glycated insulin into the circulation in diabetic animal models suggests a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes.  相似文献

Our objectives were to quantitate insulin-stimulated inward glucose transport and glucose phosphorylation in forearm muscle in lean and obese nondiabetic subjects, in lean and obese type 2 diabetic (T2DM) subjects, and in normal glucose-tolerant, insulin-resistant offspring of two T2DM parents. Subjects received a euglycemic insulin (40 mU.m(-2).min(-1)) clamp with brachial artery/deep forearm vein catheterization. After 120 min of hyperinsulinemia, a bolus of d-mannitol/3-O-methyl-d-[(14)C]glucose/d-[3-(3)H]glucose (triple-tracer technique) was given into brachial artery and deep vein samples obtained every 12-30 s for 15 min. Insulin-stimulated forearm glucose uptake (FGU) and whole body glucose metabolism (M) were reduced by 40-50% in obese nondiabetic, lean T2DM, and obese T2DM subjects (all P < 0.01); in offspring, the reduction in FGU and M was approximately 30% (P < 0.05). Inward glucose transport and glucose phosphorylation were decreased by approximately 40-50% (P < 0.01) in obese nondiabetic and T2DM groups and closely paralleled the decrease in FGU. The intracellular glucose concentration in the space accessible to glucose was significantly greater in obese nondiabetic, lean T2DM, obese T2DM, and offspring compared with lean controls. We conclude that 1) obese nondiabetic, lean T2DM, and offspring manifest moderate-to-severe muscle insulin resistance (FGU and M) and decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport and glucose phosphorylation in forearm muscle; these defects in insulin action are not further reduced by the combination of obesity plus T2DM; and 2) the increase in intracelullar glucose concentration under hyperinsulinemic euglycemic conditions in obese and T2DM groups suggests that the defect in glucose phosphorylation exceeds the defect in glucose transport.  相似文献

Exercise improves glucose tolerance in obese rodent models and humans; however, effects with respect to mechanisms of beta-cell compensation remain unexplained. We examined exercise's effects during the progression of hyperglycemia in male Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats until 19 wk of age. At 6 wk old, rats were assigned to 1) basal--euthanized for baseline values; 2) exercise--swam individually for 1 h/day, 5 days/wk; and 3) controls (n = 8-10/group). Exercise (13 wk) resulted in maintenance of fasted hyperinsulinemia and prevented increases in fed and fasted glucose (P < 0.05) compared with sham-exercised and sedentary controls (P < 0.05). Beta-cell function calculations indicate prolonged beta-cell adaptation in exercised animals alone. During an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT), exercised rats had lower 2-h glucose (P < 0.05) vs. controls. Area-under-the-curve analyses from baseline for IPGTT glucose and insulin indicate improved glucose tolerance with exercise was associated with increased insulin production and/or secretion. Beta-cell mass increased in exercised vs. basal animals; however, mass expansion was absent at 19 wk in controls (P < 0.05). Hypertrophy and replication contributed to expansion of beta-cell mass; exercised animals had increased beta-cell size and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation rates vs. controls (P < 0.05). The relative area of GLUT2 and protein kinase B was significantly elevated in exercised vs. sedentary controls (P < 0.05). Last, we show formation of ubiquitinated protein aggregates, a response to cellular/oxidative stress, occurred in nonexercised 19 wk-old ZDF rats but not in lean, 6 wk-old basal, or exercised rats. In conclusion, improved beta-cell compensation through increased beta-cell function and mass occurs in exercised but not sedentary ZDF rats and may be in part responsible for improved glucoregulation.  相似文献

1. The metabolism of [U-(14)C]glucose in perfused resting and contracting diaphragm muscle from normal rats and rats made diabetic with streptozotocin was studied in the presence and absence of insulin. 2. The incorporation of [U-(14)C]-glucose into glycogen and oligosaccharides was stimulated by insulin under all experimental conditions studied. 3. In the normal perfused resting diaphragm muscle the incorporation of radioactivity from [(14)C]glucose into lactate and CO(2) was not affected by insulin. 4. Periodic contractions, induced by electrical stimulation of the perfused diaphragm muscle in the absence of insulin, caused an increased incorporation of (14)C into glycogen and hexose phosphate esters, whereas incorporation of (14)C into lactate was greatly decreased. Production of (14)CO(2) in the contracting muscle was not significantly different from that in resting muscle. Addition of insulin to the perfusion liquid caused a further increase in formation of [(14)C]-glycogen in contracting muscle to values reached in the resting muscle in the presence of insulin. Formation of [(14)C]lactate was also stimulated by insulin, to values close to those found in the resting muscle in the presence of insulin. 5. In the diabetic resting muscle the rate of glucose metabolism was very low in the absence of insulin. Insulin increased formation of [(14)C]glycogen to the value found in normal muscle in the absence of insulin. Production of (14)CO(2) and formation of [(14)C]hexose phosphate remained unchanged. 6. In the diabetic contracting muscle production of (14)CO(2) was increased to values approaching those found in normal contracting muscle. Formation of [(14)C]lactate and [(14)C]glycogen was also increased by contraction, to normal values. Only traces of [(14)C]hexose phosphate were detectable. Addition of insulin to the perfusion medium stimulated formation of [(14)C]glycogen, to values found in normal contracting muscle. Production of [(14)C]hexose phosphate was stimulated by insulin, to approximately the values found in the normal contracting muscle. Production of (14)CO(2) and [(14)C]lactate, however, was not significantly affected by insulin. 7. These results indicate that the defects of glucose metabolism observed in perfused resting diabetic diaphragm muscle can be partially corrected by contraction, and in the presence of insulin the contracting diabetic muscle has a completely normal pattern of glycogen synthesis and lactate production, but CO(2) production remains impaired.  相似文献

The effect of relative body fat mass on exercise-induced stimulation of lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation was evaluated in 15 untrained men (5 lean, 5 overweight, and 5 obese with body mass indexes of 21 +/- 1, 27 +/- 1, and 34 +/- 1 kg/m2, respectively, and %body fat ranging from 12 to 32%). Palmitate and glycerol kinetics and substrate oxidation were assessed during 90 min of cycling at 50% peak aerobic capacity (VO2 peak) by use of stable isotope-labeled tracer infusion and indirect calorimetry. An inverse relationship was found between %body fat and exercise-induced increase in glycerol appearance rate relative to fat mass (r2 = 0.74; P < 0.01). The increase in total fatty acid uptake during exercise [(micromol/kg fat-free mass) x 90 min] was approximately 50% smaller in obese (181 +/- 70; P < 0.05) and approximately 35% smaller in overweight (230 +/- 71; P < 0.05) than in lean (354 +/- 34) men. The percentage of total fatty acid oxidation derived from systemic plasma fatty acids decreased with increasing body fat, from 49 +/- 3% in lean to 39 +/- 4% in obese men (P < 0.05); conversely, the percentage of nonsystemic fatty acids, presumably derived from intramuscular and possibly plasma triglycerides, increased with increasing body fat (P < 0.05). We conclude that the lipolytic response to exercise decreases with increasing adiposity. The blunted increase in lipolytic rate in overweight and obese men compared with lean men limits the availability of plasma fatty acids as a fuel during exercise. However, the rate of total fat oxidation was similar in all groups because of a compensatory increase in the oxidation of nonsystemic fatty acids.  相似文献

Objective: Lower lipid and insulin levels are found during a glucose-tolerance test in obese black than obese white South African women. Therefore, β-cell function and lipid metabolism were compared in these populations during a mixed meal. Research Methods and Procedures: Blood concentrations of glucose, free fatty acids (FFAs), insulin, lipograms, and in vivo FFA oxidation were determined at fasting and for 7 hours after oral administration of a mixed emulsion containing glucose-casein-sucrose-lipid and [1-13C] palmitic acid in 8 lean black women (LBW), 10 obese black women (OBW), 9 lean white women (LWW), and 10 obese white women (OWW). Subcutaneous and visceral fat mass was assessed by computerized tomography. Results: Visceral fat area was higher in OWW (152.7 ± 17.0 cm2) than OBW (80.0 ± 6.7 cm2; p < 0.01). In OBW, 30-minute insulin levels were higher (604.3 ± 117.6 pM) than OWW (311.0 ± 42.9 pM; p < 0.05). Total triglyceride was higher in OWW (706.7 ± 96.0 mM × 7 hours) than OBW (465.7 ± 48.2 mM × 7 hours; p < 0.05) and correlated with visceral fat area (β = 0.38, p = 0.05). Palmitate oxidation was higher in lean than obese women in both ethnic groups and correlated negatively with fat mass (β = −0.58, p < 0.005). Discussion: The higher 30-minute insulin response in OBW may reflect a higher insulinotropic effect of FFAs or glucose. The elevated triglyceride level of OWW may be due to their higher visceral fat mass and possibly reduced clearance by adipose tissue.  相似文献

The current study was undertaken to examine metabolic and body composition correlates of fatty liver in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Eighty-three men and women with type 2 DM [mean body mass index (BMI): 34 +/- 0.5 kg/m2] and without clinical or laboratory evidence of liver dysfunction had body composition assessments of fat mass (FM), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), liver and spleen computed tomography (CT) attenuation (ratio of liver to spleen), muscle CT attenuation, and thigh adiposity; these assessments were also performed in 12 lean and 15 obese nondiabetic volunteers. Insulin sensitivity was measured with a euglycemic insulin infusion (40 mU. m-2. min-1) combined with systemic indirect calorimetry to assess glucose and lipid oxidation, and with infusions of [2H2]glucose for assessment of endogenous glucose production. A majority of those with type 2 DM (63%) met CT criteria for fatty liver, compared with 20% of obese and none of the lean nondiabetic volunteers. Fatty liver was most strongly correlated with VAT (r = -0.57, P < 0.0001) and less strongly but significantly associated with BMI (r = -0.42, P < 0.001) and FM (r = -0.37, P < 0.001), but only weakly associated with subcutaneous adiposity (r = -0.29; P < 0.01). Fatty liver was also correlated with subfascial adiposity of skeletal muscle (r = -0.44; P < 0.01). Volunteers with type 2 DM and fatty liver were substantially more insulin resistant those with type 2 DM but without fatty liver (P < 0.001) and had higher levels of plasma free fatty acids (P < 0.01) and more severe dyslipidemia (P < 0.01), a pattern observed in both genders. Plasma levels of cytokines were increased in relation to fatty liver (r = -0.34; P < 0.01). In summary, fatty liver is relatively common in overweight and obese volunteers with type 2 DM and is an aspect of body composition related to severity of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and inflammatory markers.  相似文献

The present study investigated the role of amylin in lipid metabolism and its possible implications for insulin resistance. In 5- to 7-h-fasted conscious rats, infusion of rat amylin (5 nmol/h for 4 h) elevated plasma glucose, lactate, and insulin (P <0.05 vs. control, repeated-measures ANOVA) with peak values occurring within 60 min. Despite the insulin rise, plasma nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glycerol were also elevated (P < 0.001 vs. control), and these elevations (80% above basal) were sustained over the 4-h infusion period. Although unaltered in plasma, triglyceride content in liver was increased by 28% (P < 0.001) with a similar tendency in muscle (18%, P = 0.1). Infusion of the rat amylin antagonist amylin-(8-37) (125 nmol/h) induced opposite basal plasma changes to amylin, i.e., lowered plasma NEFA, glycerol, glucose, and insulin levels (all P < 0.05 vs. control); additionally, amylin-(8-37) blocked amylin-induced elevations of these parameters (P < 0.01). Treatment with acipimox (10 mg/kg), an anti-lipolytic agent, before or after amylin infusion blocked amylin's effects on plasma NEFA, glycerol, and insulin but not on glucose and lactate. We conclude that amylin could exert a lipolytic-like action in vivo that is blocked by and is opposite to effects of its antagonist amylin-(8-37). Further studies are warranted to examine the physiological implications of lipid mobilization for amylin-induced insulin resistance.  相似文献
