Polyunsaturated fatty acids acutely affect triacylglycerol-derived skeletal muscle fatty acid uptake and increases postprandial insulin sensitivity

ABSTRACT: Dietary fat quality may influence skeletal muscle lipid handling and fat accumulation, thereby modulating insulin sensitivity. Objective: To examine acute effects of meals with various fatty acid (FA) compositions on skeletal muscle FA handling and postprandial insulin sensitivity in obese insulin resistant men. Design: In a single-blinded randomized crossover study, 10 insulin resistant men consumed three high-fat mixed-meals (2.6MJ). Meals were high in saturated FA (SFA), in monounsaturated FA (MUFA) or in polyunsaturated FA (PUFA). Fasting and postprandial skeletal muscle FA handling were examined by measuring arterio-venous concentration differences across forearm muscle. [2H2]-palmitate was infused intravenously to label endogenous triacylglycerol (TAG) and FFA in the circulation and [U-13C]-palmitate was added to the meal to label chylomicron-TAG. Skeletal muscle biopsies were taken to assess intramuscular lipid metabolism and gene expression. Results: Insulin and glucose responses (AUC) after SFA meal were significantly higher compared with PUFA meal (p=0.003 and 0.028, respectively). Uptake of TAG-derived FA was significantly lower in the early postprandial phase after PUFA meal as compared with other meals (AUC60-120, p<0.001). The PUFA meal induced less transcriptional downregulation of oxidative pathways compared with other meals. The fractional synthetic rate was higher in DAG and PL fraction after MUFA and PUFA meal. Conclusion: Intake of a PUFA meal reduced TAG-derived skeletal muscle FA uptake, which was accompanied by higher postprandial insulin sensitivity and a tendency towards a higher muscle lipid turnover. These data suggest that the effects of replacement of SFA by PUFA may contribute to less muscle lipid uptake and may be therefore protective against the development of insulin resistance.

Project description:Physical inactivity and western diet are the main factors leading to skeletal muscle (and whole-body) insulin resistance – a defect in insulin-mediated glucose uptake and metabolism – and associated metabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The study of the response to a mixed meal (normalized for body mass and/or basal metabolic rate) is of particular interest, as it simulates the physiological response to a typical (daily) single meal that depends on both the secretory function of the beta cells (insulin response) and the sensitivity of skeletal muscle signaling to insulin – variables, which markedly changing during development of insulin resistance and T2D. We aimed to compare the early transcriptomic response to a mixed meal normalized to body mass in skeletal muscle of healthy subjects and obese patients without (Ob) and with T2D (Ob+T2D). To investigate the early transcriptomic response we took biopsy samples from the vastus lateralis muscle prior to and 1 h after a meal. In the Ob+T2D group the average level and increase in C-peptide and insulin in the blood were comparable with healthy subjects that, apparently, is explained by dysfunction of the beta-cells induced by chronic T2D. At the same time, the Ob+T2D group demonstrated dysregulation of mixed meal-induced gene expression in skeletal muscle: morу than two times lower number of DEGs and a small overlapping with the gene response in the control group. On the contrary, the postprandial level of C-peptide and insulin in the Ob group was significantly greater than in healthy control that is related to insulin oversecretion associated with insulin resistance. Despite this, the gene response in skeletal muscle was also significantly dysregulated; moreover, it differed from the response in the Ob+T2D group. It means that defect in regulation of insulin-induced gene expression (insulin resistance in terms of gene expression) appears at the first stage of the development of metabolic disorders.

Project description:The obese, insulin resistant state is characterized by impairments in lipid metabolism. Dietary polyphenols might improve these deteriorations. We have previously shown that 3-days supplementation of combined Epigallocatechin-gallate and Resveratrol (E+R) increased energy expenditure, which was accompanied by improved metabolic flexibility after a high-fat mixed-meal (HFMM) in men. The present study aimed to investigate whether these short-term effects translate into longer-term improvement of insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism. In this randomized, double-blind study, 42 overweight subjects (21 male, 38Â±2 yrs, BMI 29.7Â±0.5 kg/m2, HOMA-IR 2.1Â±0.2) received either E+R (300 and 80 mg/d, respectively) or placebo (PLA) for 12 weeks (3 months). Before (t0) and after (t3) intervention, tissue-specific insulin sensitivity was assessed by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with stable isotope infusion. Fasting and postprandial (HFMM) lipid metabolism was assessed using indirect calorimetry and blood sampling. Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle lipolysis was measured using microdialysis in men and skeletal muscle biopsies were collected to assess mitochondrial function and gene expression alterations via microarray analysis. E+R supplementation increased fasting (P=0.06) and postprandial (P=0.03) fat oxidation but did not alter energy expenditure compared to PLA. This was accompanied by an E+R-induced increase in oxidative capacity in permeabilized muscle fibers (p<0.05). Moreover, E+R supplementation attenuated the increase in plasma triacylglycerol concentration that was observed in the PLA group (AUC, p<0.05), and tended to decrease visceral fat mass (P=0.09). Finally, insulin-stimulated glucose disposal and suppression of endogenous glucose production were not affected by E+R supplementation. 12 weeks E+R supplementation increased whole-body fat oxidation and skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, but this did not translate into increased tissue-specific insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese subjects. To identify pathways that may underlie the E+R-induced improvement of skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity, we performed microarray analysis on skeletal muscle biopsies (vastus lateralis muscle), collected before and after 12-weeks E+R or PLA treatment. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) indicated that the most upregulated pathways after E+R supplementation were related to the citric acid cycle and respiratory electron transport chain, while pathways related to carbohydrate metabolism were upregulated in the PLA group. In this randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, parallel intervention trial, subjects received either a combination of E+R supplements (INTV, 282 mg/d and 80 mg/d, respectively) or placebo (PLA, partly hydrolyzed microcrystalline cellulose-filled capsules) for a period of 12 weeks (3 months) to assess effects of E+R supplementation on tissue-specific insulin sensitivity (primary outcomes) and fasting and postprandial substrate metabolism (secondary outcomes). Skeletal muscle (m. vastus lateralis) biopsies were taken under local anesthesia during fasting conditions before (t0) and after the 12-weeks (t3) intervention period. Extraxted RNA was hybridized on HTA 2.0 Affymetrix arrays and microarray analysis was performed on paired sample sets for 27 subjects (p, PLA n = 14; E+R n = 13).

Project description:Impaired resistance to insulin, the key defect in type 2 diabetes (T2D), is associated with a low capacity to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability, i.e., metabolic inflexibility. The hampered metabolic adaptability triggers a further damage of insulin signaling. Since skeletal muscle is the main site of glucose uptake, effectiveness of T2D treatment depends in large on the improvement of insulin sensitivity and metabolic adaptability of the muscle. We have shown previously in mice fed an obesogenic high-fat diet that a combination treatment using n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) and thiazolidinedione (TZD) anti-diabetic drugs preserved metabolic health and synergistically improved muscle insulin sensitivity. We investigated here whether TZD rosiglitazone could elicit the additive beneficial effects on metabolic flexibility when combined with n-3 LC-PUFA. Adult male C57BL/6J mice were fed an obesogenic corn oil-based high-fat diet (cHF) for 8 weeks, or randomly assigned to various dietary treatments: (i) cHF+F, cHF with n-3 LC-PUFA concentrate replacing 15% of dietary lipids; (ii) cHF+ROSI, cHF with 10 mg rosiglitazone/kg diet; and (iii) cHF+F+ROSI, or chow-fed. Indirect calorimetry demonstrated superior preservation of metabolic flexibility to carbohydrates in response to the combination treatment. Metabolomic and gene expression analyses in the muscle suggested distinct and complementary effects of the single treatments, with rosiglitazone augmenting insulin sensitivity by the modulation of branched-chain amino acid metabolism, and n-3 LC PUFA supporting complete oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria. These beneficial metabolic effects were associated with the activation of the switch between glycolytic and oxidative muscle fibers, especially in the cHF+F+ROSI mice. Our results further support the idea that the combination treatment using n-3 LC-PUFA and TZDs could improve the efficacy of the treatment of obese and diabetic patients. Male C57BL/6N mice had free access to water and Chow. Three-month-old mice were randomly assigned (8 animals per group) to cHF+ROSI diet (lipid content ~35% wt/wt) supplemented with 10 mg rosiglitazone/kg diet, or cHF+F+ROSI in which n-3 LC-PUFA concentrate (46% DHA, 14% EPA, wt/wt, as triglycerides; product EPAX 1050 TG) replaced 15% wt/wt of dietary lipids. The treatment lasted for 8 weeks, whereafter the animals were first fasted for 10 hours during the light phase of the day (between 8.00hr and 18.00hr), than re-fed Chow (starting at 18.00hr), and killed the following day by cervical dislocation under pentobarbital anesthesia (between 9.00hr and 11.00hr); the so-called 'diet-switch protocol'. Gastrocnemius muscle was isolated and used for total RNA isolation.
