We have recently shown that the reduction in
insulin sensitivity of rats fed a high-fat diet is associated with the
translocation of the novel protein kinase
C
(nPKC
) from cytosolic to
particulate fractions in red skeletal muscle and also the
downregulation of cytosolic
nPKC
. Here we have further
investigated the link between insulin resistance and PKC by assessing
the effects of the thiazolidinedione insulin-sensitizer BRL-49653 on
PKC isoenzymes in muscle. BRL-49653 increased the recovery of nPKC
isoenzymes in cytosolic fractions of red muscle from fat-fed rats,
reducing their apparent activation and/or downregulation,
whereas PKC in control rats was unaffected. Because BRL-49653 also
improves insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in fat-fed rats and reduces
muscle lipid storage, especially diglyceride content, these results
strengthen the association between lipid availability, nPKC activation,
and skeletal muscle insulin resistance and support the hypothesis that
chronic activation of nPKC isoenzymes is involved in the generation of
muscle insulin resistance in fat-fed rats.
