How free fatty acids inhibit glucose utilization in human skeletal muscle.
نویسنده
چکیده
Rat muscle studies suggest competition between free fatty acids (FFA) and glucose for oxidation, resulting in glucose-6-phosphate accumulation. However, FFA decrease glucose-6-phosphate in human skeletal muscle, indicating direct inhibition of glucose transport/phosphorylation. This mechanism could redirect glucose from muscle to brain during fasting and explain the insulin resistance associated with high-lipid diets and obesity.

Human forearm metabolism during progressive starvation.
Forearm muscle metabolism was studied in eight obese subjects after an overnight, 3 and 24 day fast. Arterio-deep-venous differences of oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose, lactate, pyruvate, free fatty acids, acetoacetate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate with simultaneous forearm blood flow were measured. Rates of metabolite utilization and production were thus estimated. Oxygen consumption and lactate a...
متن کاملEffects of nonesterified fatty acid availability on tissue-specific glucose utilization in rats in vivo.
The pathophysiological significance of the glucose-fatty acid cycle in skeletal muscle in vivo is uncertain. We have examined the short term effects of increased availability of nonesterified FFA on tissue-specific glucose uptake and storage in rat tissues in vivo basally and during a hyperinsulinemic (150 mU/liter) euglycemic clamp. Circulating FFA were elevated to 2 mmol/liter (FFA 1) or 4 mm...
متن کاملRedistribution of glucose from skeletal muscle to adipose tissue during catch-up fat: a link between catch-up growth and later metabolic syndrome.
Catch-up growth, a risk factor for later obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is characterized by hyperinsulinemia and an accelerated rate for recovering fat mass, i.e., catch-up fat. To identify potential mechanisms in the link between hyperinsulinemia and catch-up fat during catch-up growth, we studied the in vivo action of insulin on glucose utilization in skeletal muscle a...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle utilization of free fatty acids in women with visceral obesity.
Visceral obesity is strongly associated with insulin resistance. One potential cause is increased availability of FFA. Alternatively, it has been proposed that there is impaired oxidation of lipid in individuals at risk for obesity. The extent to which either concept involves skeletal muscle is uncertain. To examine these opposing hypotheses, 17 healthy lean and obese premenopausal women, among...
متن کاملEvidence for a major role of skeletal muscle lipolysis in the regulation of lipid oxidation during caloric restriction in vivo.
A lipolytic process in skeletal muscle has recently been demonstrated. However, the physiological importance of this process is unknown. We investigated the role of skeletal muscle lipolysis for lipid utilization during caloric restriction in eight obese women before and after 11 days of very low-calorie diet (VLCD) (2.2 MJ per day). Subjects were studied with indirect calorimetry and microdial...
