Elevations in free fatty acids (FFAs) impair glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. However, there is no information pertaining to the effect of elevated circulating lipids on either basal protein synthesis or the anabolic effects of leucine and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). In chronically catheterized conscious rats, the short-term elevation of plasma FFAs by the 5-h infusion of heparin plus Intralipid decreased muscle protein synthesis by ∼25% under basal conditions. Lipid infusion was associated with a redistribution of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)4E from the active eIF4E·eIF4G complex to the inactive eIF4E·4E-BP1 complex. This shift was associated with a decreased phosphorylation of eIF4G but not 4E-BP1. Lipid infusion did not significantly alter either the total amount or phosphorylation state of mTOR, TSC2, S6K1, or the ribosomal protein S6 under basal conditions. In control rats, oral leucine increased muscle protein synthesis. This anabolic response was not impaired by lipid infusion, and no defects in signal transduction pathways regulating translation initiation were detected. In separate rats that received a bolus injection of IGF-I, lipid infusion attenuated the normal redistribution of eIF4E from the active to inactive complex and largely prevented the increased phosphorylation of 4E-BP1, eIF4G, S6K1, and S6. This IGF-I resistance was associated with enhanced Ser307 phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1). These data indicate that the short-term elevation of plasma FFAs impairs basal protein synthesis in muscle by altering eIF4E availability, and this defect may be related to impaired phosphorylation of eIF4G, not 4E-BP1. Moreover, hyperlipidemia impairs IGF-I action but does not produce leucine resistance in skeletal muscle.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a rate-limiting enzyme for hydrolysing circulating triglycerides (TG) into free fatty acids that are taken up by peripheral tissues. Postprandial LPL activity rises in white adipose tissue (WAT), but declines in the heart and skeletal muscle, thereby directing circulating TG to WAT for storage; the reverse is true during fasting. However, the mechanism for the tissue-specific regulation of LPL activity during the fed–fast cycle has been elusive. Recent identification of lipasin/angiopoietin-like 8 (Angptl8), a feeding-induced hepatokine, together with Angptl3 and Angptl4, provides intriguing, yet puzzling, insights, because all the three Angptl members are LPL inhibitors, and the deficiency (overexpression) of any one causes hypotriglyceridaemia (hypertriglyceridaemia). Then, why does nature need all of the three? Our recent data that Angptl8 negatively regulates LPL activity specifically in cardiac and skeletal muscles suggest an Angptl3-4-8 model: feeding induces Angptl8, activating the Angptl8–Angptl3 pathway, which inhibits LPL in cardiac and skeletal muscles, thereby making circulating TG available for uptake by WAT, in which LPL activity is elevated owing to diminished Angptl4; the reverse is true during fasting, which suppresses Angptl8 but induces Angptl4, thereby directing TG to muscles. The model suggests a general framework for how TG trafficking is regulated.

The present work performed in rabbits was designed to investigate whether changes in skeletal muscle metabolism could contribute to glucose homeostasis during late pregnancy a time at which there is a large glucose demand of the gravid uterus. We therefore studied the net substrate balance of glucose, lactate, free fatty acids, and ketone bodies across the hindlimb of pregnant animals (days 24 and 30) and virgin animals. Our data show that on day 24 the basal rate of glucose uptake is similar to that observed in virgin rabbits, but it decreases by approximately 60% on day 30 despite comparable levels of blood glucose and plasma insulin at both gestational ages. A moderate hyperglycemia (20% above basal level) and hyperinsulinemia (2- to 3-fold above basal level) sustained for 80 min failed to increase glucose uptake except in virgin animals. Estimates of the contribution of substrates to oxidative metabolism indicate that free fatty acids could represent the major fuel in all groups, whereas glucose would be of minor importance especially at term. It is concluded that in pregnancy a) under normoglycemia there is a reduced insulin effect on glucose uptake and b) under moderate hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia the insulin resistance results from an impaired stimulation of glucose uptake. Sparing glucose from the skeletal muscle, the mother can direct more glucose toward the uterus without marked increase in her production rate.
