Insulin resistance is associated with both obesity and hypertension. However, the cellular mechanisms of insulin resistance in genetic models of obese-hypertension have not been identified. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of genetic obesity on a background of inherited hypertension on initial components of the insulin signal transduction pathway and glucose transport in skeletal muscle and liver. Oral glucose tolerance testing in SHROB demonstrated a sustained postchallenge elevation in plasma glucose at 180 and 240 min compared with lean spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) littermates, which is suggestive of glucose intolerance. Fasting plasma insulin levels were elevated 18-fold in SHROB. The rate of insulin-stimulated 3- O-methylglucose transport was reduced 68% in isolated epitrochlearis muscles from the SHROB compared with SHR. Insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor β-subunit and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) in intact skeletal muscle of SHROB was reduced by 36 and 23%, respectively, compared with SHR, due primarily to 32 and 60% decreases in insulin receptor and IRS-1 protein expression, respectively. The amounts of p85α regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and GLUT-4 protein were reduced by 28 and 25% in SHROB muscle compared with SHR. In the liver of SHROB, the effect of insulin on tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was not changed, but insulin receptor phosphorylation was decreased by 41%, compared with SHR, due to a 30% reduction in insulin receptor levels. Our observations suggest that the leptin receptor mutation fak imposed on a hypertensive background results in extreme hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance, and decreased expression of postreceptor insulin signaling proteins in skeletal muscle. Despite these changes, hypertension is not exacerbated in SHROB compared with SHR, suggesting these metabolic abnormalities may not contribute to hypertension in this model of Syndrome X.

Chronic use of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in managing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been associated with several complications. Available management options for these complications have yielded controversial results, thus the need to urgently find newer alternatives. Naringin, a plant-derived flavonoid, has been shown to possess antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties which can be exploited in managing NRTI-induced complications. This study therefore investigated the effects of naringin on some NRTI-induced complications. Forty-nine rats (200–250 g) were divided into seven groups and were orally treated with stavudine (d4T)-only, d4T + naringin, d4T + vitamin E, zidovudine (AZT)-only, AZT + naringin, AZT + vitamin E, and distilled water, respectively. Drugs were administered once daily for 56 days, and oral glucose tolerance tests conducted on day 54 of the experiments and rats were thereafter sacrificed on day 56 by halothane overdose. Plasma samples and the left gastrocnemius muscles were stored at −80°C for further analysis. There was significant glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in the skeletal muscles of AZT- or d4T-only–treated rats. Naringin, however, significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and fasting plasma insulin concentrations, mitigated glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance in addition to reducing malondialdehyde and carbonyl protein concentrations when coadministered with either NRTIs. Furthermore, naringin improved antioxidant enzyme activities, reduced skeletal muscle BCL-2-associated X protein expression, and improved B-cell lymphoma-2 protein expression compared to AZT- or d4T-only–treated rats. Naringin ameliorated AZT- and d4T-induced complications and therefore should be further investigated as a possible nutritional supplement in managing HIV infection.

We examined the long-term effect of in utero exposure to streptozotocin-induced maternal diabetes on the progeny that postnatally received either ad libitum access to milk by being fed by control mothers (CM/DP) or were subjected to relative nutrient restriction by being fed by diabetic mothers (DM/DP) compared with the control progeny fed by control mothers (CM/CP). There was increased food intake, glucose intolerance, and obesity in the CM/DP group and diminished food intake, glucose tolerance, and postnatal growth restriction in the DM/DP group, persisting in the adult. These changes were associated with aberrations in hormonal and metabolic profiles and alterations in hypothalamic neuropeptide Y concentrations. By use of subfractionation and Western blot analysis techniques, the CM/DP group demonstrated a higher skeletal muscle sarcolemma-associated ( days 1 and 60) and white adipose tissue plasma membrane-associated ( day 60) GLUT4 in the basal state with a lack of insulin-induced translocation. The DM/DP group demonstrated a partial amelioration of this change observed in the CM/DP group. We conclude that the offspring of a diabetic mother with ad libitum postnatal nutrition demonstrates increased food intake and resistance to insulin-induced translocation of GLUT4 in skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue. This in turn leads to glucose intolerance and obesity at a later stage ( day 180). Postnatal nutrient restriction results in reversal of this adult phenotype, thereby explaining the phenotypic heterogeneity that exists in this population.
