Skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the role of maximum mitochondrial capacity on the variation in insulin sensitivity within a population of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Fifty-eight participants enrolled in a cross-sectional design: eight active controls [maximum aerobic capacity (VO(2max)) > 40 ml/kg · min], 17 healthy sedentary controls without a family history (FH-) and seven with a family history (FH+) of diabetes, four obese participants, and 21 patients with T2DM. Mitochondrial capacity was measured noninvasively using (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the vastus lateralis. Maximal ATP synthetic rate (ATP(max)) was determined from the rate of phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery after short-term isometric exercise.ATP(max) was lower (P < 0.001) in T2DM and higher (P < 0.001) in active as compared with healthy sedentary FH- (active, 1.01 ± 0.2; FH-, 0.7 ± 0.2; FH+, 0.6 ± 0.1; obese, 0.6 ± 0.1; T2DM, 0.5 ± 0.2 mm ATP/sec; ANOVA P < 0.0001). Insulin sensitivity, measured by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic (80 mIU/m(2) · min) clamp was also reduced in T2DM (P < 0.001) (active, 12.0 ± 3.2; FH-, 7.8 ± 2.2; FH+, 6.8 ± 3.5; obese, 3.1 ± 1.0; T2DM, 3.4 ± 1.6; mg/kg estimated metabolic body size · min; ANOVA P < 0.0001). Unexpectedly, there was a broad range of ATP(max) within the T2DM population where 52% of subjects with T2DM had ATP(max) values that were within the range observed in healthy sedentary controls. In addition, 24% of the T2DM subjects overlapped with the active control group (range, 0.65-1.27 mm ATP/sec). In contrast to the positive correlation between ATP(max) and M-value in the whole population (r(2) = 0.35; P < 0.0001), there was no correlation between ATP(max) and M-value in the patients with T2DM (r(2) = 0.004; P = 0.79).Mitochondrial capacity is not associated with insulin action in T2DM.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisMitochondria operate in networks, adapting to external stresses and changes in cellular metabolic demand and are subject to various quality control mechanisms. On the basis of these traits, we here hypothesise that the regulation of mitochondrial networks in skeletal muscle is hampered in humans with compromised oxidative capacity and insulin sensitivity.MethodsIn a cross-sectional design, we compared four groups of participants (selected from previous studies) ranging in aerobic capacity and insulin sensitivity, i.e. participants with type 2 diabetes (n = 11), obese participants without diabetes (n = 12), lean individuals (n = 10) and endurance-trained athletes (n = 12); basal, overnight fasted muscle biopsies were newly analysed for the current study and we compared the levels of essential mitochondrial dynamics and quality control regulatory proteins in skeletal muscle tissue.ResultsType 2 diabetes patients and obese participants were older than lean participants and athletes (58.6 ± 4.0 and 56.7 ± 7.2 vs 21.8 ± 2.5 and 25.1 ± 4.3 years, p < 0.001, respectively) and displayed a higher BMI (32.4 ± 3.7 and 31.0 ± 3.7 vs 22.1 ± 1.8 and 21.0 ± 1.5 kg/m2, p < 0.001, respectively) than lean individuals and endurance-trained athletes. Fission protein 1 (FIS1) and optic atrophy protein 1 (OPA1) protein content was highest in muscle from athletes and lowest in participants with type 2 diabetes and obesity, respectively (FIS1: 1.86 ± 0.79 vs 0.79 ± 0.51 AU, p = 0.002; and OPA1: 1.55 ± 0.64 vs 0.76 ± 0.52 AU, p = 0.014), which coincided with mitochondrial network fragmentation in individuals with type 2 diabetes, as assessed by confocal microscopy in a subset of type 2 diabetes patients vs endurance-trained athletes (n = 6). Furthermore, lean individuals and athletes displayed a mitonuclear protein balance that was different from obese participants and those with type 2 diabetes. Mitonuclear protein balance also associated with heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) protein levels, which were higher in athletes when compared with participants with obesity (p = 0.048) and type 2 diabetes (p = 0.002), indicative for activation of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response. Finally, OPA1, FIS1 and HSP60 correlated positively with aerobic capacity (r = 0.48, p = 0.0001; r = 0.55, p < 0.001 and r = 0.61, p < 0.0001, respectively) and insulin sensitivity (r = 0.40, p = 0.008; r = 0.44, p = 0.003 and r = 0.48, p = 0.001, respectively).Conclusions/interpretationCollectively, our data suggest that mitochondrial dynamics and quality control in skeletal muscle are linked to oxidative capacity in humans, which may play a role in the maintenance of muscle insulin sensitivity.

Project description:We aimed to examine whether individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) exhibit suppressed leg vascular conductance and skeletal muscle capillary perfusion in response to a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and to test whether these two variables are positively correlated. Subsequently, we examined whether T2D-associated skeletal muscle microvascular insulin resistance, as well as overall vascular dysfunction, would be ameliorated by an 8-wk walking intervention (45 min at 60% of heart rate reserve, 5 sessions/week). We report that, relative to healthy subjects, overweight and obese individuals with T2D exhibit depressed insulin-stimulated increases in leg vascular conductance, skeletal muscle capillary perfusion, and Akt phosphorylation. Notably, we found that within individuals with T2D, those with lesser increases in leg vascular conductance in response to insulin exhibited the lowest increases in muscle capillary perfusion, suggesting that limited muscle capillary perfusion may be, in part, linked to the impaired ability of the upstream resistance vessels to dilate in response to insulin. Furthermore, we show that the 8-wk walking intervention, which did not evoke weight loss, was insufficient to ameliorate skeletal muscle microvascular insulin resistance in previously sedentary, overweight/obese subjects with T2D, despite high adherence and tolerance. However, the walking intervention did improve (P < 0.05) popliteal artery flow-mediated dilation (+4.52%) and reduced HbA1c (-0.75%). It is possible that physical activity interventions that are longer in duration, engage large muscle groups with recruitment of the maximum number of muscle fibers, and lead to a robust reduction in metabolic risk factors may be required to overhaul microvascular insulin resistance in T2D.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This report provides evidence that in sedentary subjects with type 2 diabetes diminished insulin-stimulated increases in leg vascular conductance and ensuing blunted capillary perfusion in skeletal muscle are not restorable by increased walking alone. More innovative physical activity interventions that ultimately result in a robust mitigation of metabolic risk factors may be vital for reestablishing skeletal muscle microvascular insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.
