Effect Of Age

Injuries, hemorrhage, sepsis, burn, and critical illnesses all induce insulin resistance, and insulin resistance is strongly associated with advancing age. However, the effect of age on injury induced insulin resistance is not well studied. We performed surgical trauma in male rats of three different ages (3-, 6-, and 10-weeks old). Rats were either hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 35–40 mmHg and subsequently maintained at that pressure for up to 90 min, or maintained without hemorrhage as controls. Results indicate that insulin-induced intracellular signaling was diminished in liver and skeletal muscle of 6- and 10-week old rats following trauma and hemorrhage. In even younger rats, immediately post-weaning (∼3 weeks of age), insulin signaling was lost in liver, but not in skeletal muscle. Glucocorticoids can play a role in the chronic development of insulin resistance. Our results demonstrate that corticosterone levels were increased in 6- and 10-week old animals following hemorrhage, but little change was measured in 3-week old animals. Blockade of glucocorticoid synthesis prevented the development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, but not in liver of 6- and 10-week old rats. Moreover, skeletal muscle glucocorticoid receptor levels increased dramatically between 3 and 6 weeks of age. These results indicate that trauma and hemorrhage-induced hepatic insulin resistance occurs at all ages tested. However, there is no development of insulin resistance following trauma and hemorrhage in skeletal muscle of post-weaning rats. In skeletal muscle of 6- and 10-week old rats, inhibition of glucocorticoid levels prevents the development of insulin resistance.

Induce Insulin Resistance

Elevated plasma free fatty acids (FFA) induce insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Previously, we have shown that experimental insulin resistance induced by lipid infusion prevents the dispersion of insulin through the muscle, and we hypothesized that this would lead to an impairment of insulin moving from the plasma to the muscle interstitium. Thus, we infused lipid into our anesthetized canine model and measured the appearance of insulin in the lymph as a means to sample muscle interstitium under hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp conditions. Although lipid infusion lowered the glucose infusion rate and induced both peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance, we were unable to detect an impairment of insulin access to the lymph. Interestingly, despite a significant, 10-fold increase in plasma FFA, we detected little to no increase in free fatty acids or triglycerides in the lymph after lipid infusion. Thus, we conclude that experimental insulin resistance induced by lipid infusion does not reduce insulin access to skeletal muscle under clamp conditions. This would suggest that the peripheral insulin resistance is likely due to reduced cellular sensitivity to insulin in this model, and yet we did not detect a change in the tissue microenvironment that could contribute to cellular insulin resistance.

Abstract Hemorrhage, sepsis, burn injury, surgical trauma and critical illness all induce insulin resistance. Recently we found that trauma and hemorrhage acutely induced hepatic insulin resistance in the rat. However, the mechanisms of this hemorrhage-induced acute hepatic insulin resistance are unknown. Here we report on the mechanisms of this hepatic insulin resistance. Protein levels and phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate-1/2 (IRS-1/2) were measured, as was the association between IRS-1/2 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Also examined were the hepatic expression of TNFα and TNFα-induced serine phosphorylation of IRS-1. Insulin receptor and IRS-1/2 protein levels and insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor were unaltered. In contrast, insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/2 and association between IRS-1/2 and PI3K were dramatically reduced after hemorrhage. Hepatic levels of TNFα mRNA and protein were increased as was phosphorylation of IRS-1 serine 307 after hemorrhage. Our data provide the first evidence that compromised IRS-1/2 tyrosine phosphorylation and their association with PI3K contribute to hemorrhage-induced acute hepatic insulin resistance. Increased local TNFα may play a role in inducing this hepatic insulin resistance after trauma and hemorrhage.

Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance

Surgical trauma induces peripheral insulin resistance; however, the cellular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. We examined the effects of surgical trauma on insulin receptor signaling and glucose transport in skeletal muscle, a tissue that plays a predominant role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. Surgical trauma was induced by intestinal resection in the rat. Receptor phosphorylation was not altered with surgical trauma. Phosphotyrosine-associated phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase association was increased by 60 and 82% compared with fasted and fed controls, respectively ( P < 0.05). Similar results were observed for insulin receptor substrate-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity. Insulin-stimulated protein kinase B (Akt kinase) phosphorylation was increased by 2.2-fold after surgical trauma ( P < 0.05). The hyperphosphorylation of Akt is likely to reflect amplification of PI 3-kinase after insulin stimulation. Submaximal rates of insulin-stimulated 3- O-methylglucose transport were reduced in trauma vs. fasted rats by 51 and 38% for 100 and 200 μU/ml of insulin, respectively ( P< 0.05). In conclusion, insulin resistance in skeletal muscle after surgical trauma is associated with reduced glucose transport but not with impaired insulin signaling to PI 3-kinase or its downstream target, Akt. The surgical trauma model presented in this report provides a useful tool to further elucidate the molecular mechanism(s) underlying the development of insulin resistance after surgical trauma.

Underlying Mechanisms

We previously showed that global deletion of the cytochrome P450 epoxygenase <i>Cyp2c44</i>, a major epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) producing enzyme in mice, leads to impaired hepatic insulin signaling resulting in insulin resistance. This finding led us to investigate whether administration of a water soluble EET analog restores insulin signaling <i>in vivo</i> in <i>Cyp2c44(-/-)</i> mice and investigated the underlying mechanisms by which this effect is exerted. <i>Cyp2c44(-/-)</i> mice treated with the analog EET-A for 4 weeks improved fasting glucose and glucose tolerance compared to <i>Cyp2c44(-/-)</i> mice treated with vehicle alone. This beneficial effect was accompanied by enhanced hepatic insulin signaling, decreased expression of gluconeogenic genes and increased expression of glycogenic genes. Mechanistically, we show that insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of insulin receptor β (IRβ) is impaired in primary <i>Cyp2c44(-/-) </i>hepatocytes and this can be restored by cotreatment with EET-A and insulin. Plasma membrane fractionations of livers indicated that EET-A enhances the retention of IRβ in membrane rich fractions, thus potentiating its activation. Altogether, EET analogs ameliorate insulin signaling in a genetic model of hepatic insulin resistance by stabilizing membrane-associated IRβ and potentiating insulin signaling.

<b>Objective</b>: Both glucose and triglyceride production are increased in Type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). For decades, the leading hypothesis to explain these paradoxical observations has been selective hepatic insulin resistance, wherein insulin drives <i>de novo</i> lipogenesis (DNL), while failing to suppress glucose production. Here, we aimed to test this hypothesis in humans. <p><b>Research Design and Methods</b>: We recruited obese subjects who met criteria for bariatric surgery with (n=16) or without (n=15) NAFLD and assessed: i) insulin-mediated regulation of hepatic and peripheral glucose metabolism using hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps with [6,6-<sup>2</sup>H<sub>2</sub>]glucose, ii) fasting and carbohydrate-driven hepatic DNL using deuterated water (<sup>2</sup>H<sub>2</sub>O), and iii) hepatocellular insulin signaling in liver biopsies collected during bariatric surgery.</p> <p><b>Results</b>: As compared with subjects without NAFLD, subjects with NAFLD demonstrated impaired insulin-mediated suppression of glucose production and attenuated -not increased- glucose-stimulated/high-insulin lipogenesis. Fructose-stimulated/low-insulin lipogenesis was intact. Hepatocellular insulin signaling, assessed for the first time in humans, exhibited a proximal block in insulin-resistant subjects: signaling was attenuated from the level of the insulin receptor through both glucose <i>and</i> lipogenesis pathways. The carbohydrate-regulated lipogenic transcription factor <i>ChREBP</i> was increased in subjects with NAFLD. </p> <b>Conclusions</b>: Acute increases in lipogenesis in humans with NAFLD are not explained by altered molecular regulation of lipogenesis through a paradoxical increase in lipogenic insulin action; rather, increases in lipogenic substrate availability may be the key. <a></a>

Background: Although the health benefits of regular physical activity and exercise are well established and have been incorporated into national public health recommendations, there is a relative lack of understanding pertaining to the harmful effects of physical inactivity. Experimental paradigms including complete immobilization and bed rest are not physiologically representative of sedentary living. A useful ‘real-world’ approach to contextualize the physiology of societal downward shifts in physical activity patterns is that of short-term daily step reduction. Results: Step-reduction studies have largely focused on musculoskeletal and metabolic health parameters, providing relevant disease models for metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes (T2D), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis. In untrained individuals, even a short-term reduction in physical activity has a significant impact on skeletal muscle protein and carbohydrate metabolism, causing anabolic resistance and peripheral insulin resistance, respectively. From a metabolic perspective, short-term inactivity-induced peripheral insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, with consequent liver triglyceride accumulation, leads to hepatic insulin resistance and a characteristic dyslipidaemia. Concomitantly, various inactivity-related factors contribute to a decline in function; a reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle mass and muscle strength. Conclusions: Physical inactivity maybe particularly deleterious in certain patient populations, such as those at high risk of T2D or in the elderly, considering concomitant sarcopenia or osteoporosis. The effects of short-term physical inactivity (with step reduction) are reversible on resumption of habitual physical activity in younger people, but less so in older adults. Nutritional interventions and resistance training offer potential strategies to prevent these deleterious metabolic and musculoskeletal effects. Impact: Individuals at high risk of/with cardiometabolic disease and older adults may be more prone to these acute periods of inactivity due to acute illness or hospitalization. Understanding the risks is paramount to implementing countermeasures.
