Energy expenditure, insulin, and VLDL-triglyceride production in humans.

چکیده
Hypertriglyceridemia is considered a cardiovascular risk factor in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. In this study, we aimed to determine potential regulators of very low density lipoprotein-triglyceride (TG) production. VLDL-TG kinetics were measured in 13 men and 12 women [body mass index [mean (range)]: 24.8 (20.2-35.6) kg/m(2)]. VLDL-TG production was assessed from the plasma decay of a bolus injection of ex vivo labeled VLDL particles ([1-(14)C]triolein-VLDL-TG). Similar VLDL-TG production (micromol/min) was found in men and women. VLDL-TG production was not significantly correlated with palmitate flux ([9,10-(3)H]palmitate) (r = 0.09, P = 0.67) or palmitate concentration (r = -0.29, P = 0.2) but was correlated significantly with fasting insulin concentration (r = 0.46, P < 0.05) and resting energy expenditure (REE) (r = 0.45, P < 0.05). The latter correlation improved when adjusted for sex. The best multivariate model with VLDL-TG production as the dependent variable and REE, body composition, hormones, and substrate levels as independent variables included fasting insulin (P = 0.02) and REE (P = 0.02) (r(2) = 0.32, P < 0.001). We conclude that VLDL kinetics are similar in men and women and that REE and plasma insulin are significant independent predictors of VLDL-TG production. FFA availability and body fat distribution are unrelated to VLDL production. We suggest that REE plays a greater role in VLDL-TG production than previously anticipated. REE and insulin should be taken into account when VLDL-TG production comparisons between groups are made.

Changes in VLDL triglyceride and VLDL apo B production were determined semiquantitatively in healthy young men by examining the effect of altering plasma insulin and/or FFA levels on the change in the slopes of the specific activity of VLDL [3H]triglyceride glycerol or the 131I-VLDL apo B versus time curves. In one study (n = 8) insulin was infused for 5 h using the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic ...

Type 2 diabetes in humans is associated with increased de novo lipogenesis (DNL), increased fatty acid (FA) fluxes, decreased FA oxidation, and hepatic steatosis. In this condition, VLDL production is increased and resistant to suppressive effects of insulin. The relationships between hepatic FA metabolism, steatosis, and VLDL production are incompletely understood. We investigated VLDL-triglyc...
