Intramuscular triglyceride and muscle insulin sensitivity: Evidence for a relationship in nondiabetic subjects
Abstract
Intracellular triglyceride (TG) is an important energy source for skeletal muscle. However, recent evidence suggests that if muscle contains abnormally high TG stores its sensitivity to insulin may be reduced, and this could predispose to type II diabetes. To test this hypothesis, we measured muscle lipid content in 27 women aged 47 to 55 years (mean, 52) and related it to their glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and muscle insulin sensitivity as measured by insulin activation of glycogen synthase, an insulin-regulated enzyme that is rate-limiting for insulin action in muscle. Both muscle TG content and intracellular lipid determined by Oil red O staining of muscle fibers were negatively associated with glycogen synthase activation (r = .43, P = .03 and r = -.47, P = .02, respectively). In addition, intracellular lipid correlated with features of the insulin resistance syndrome, including an increased waist to hip ratio (r = .47, P = .01) and fasting nonesterified fatty acids ([NEFA] r = .44, P = .04). These data demonstrate that increased muscle TG stores are associated with decreased insulin-stimulated glycogen synthase activity. Intracellular fat may underlie a major part of the insulin resistance in normal subjects, as well as type II diabetics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
