Because muscle
triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation might contribute to insulin
resistance in leptin-deficient ob/ob
mice, we studied the acute (60- to 90-min) effects of leptin and
insulin on
[14C]glucose and
[14C]oleate metabolism
in muscles isolated from lean and obese
ob/ob mice. In
ob/ob soleus, leptin decreased
glycogen synthesis 36-46% (P < 0.05), increased oleate oxidation 26%
(P < 0.05), decreased oleate
incorporation into TAG 32% (P < 0.05), and decreased the oleate partitioning ratio (oleate partitioned
into TAG/CO2) 44% (P < 0.05). Insulin decreased oleate
oxidation 31% (P < 0.05), increased
oleate incorporation into TAG 46% (P < 0.05), and increased the partitioning ratio 125%
(P < 0.01). Adding leptin diminished insulin's antioxidative, lipogenic effects. In soleus from lean mice,
insulin increased the partitioning ratio 142%, whereas leptin decreased it 51%, as previously reported (Muoio, D. M., G. L. Dohm, F. T. Fiedorek, E. B. Tapscott, and R. A. Coleman.
Diabetes 46: 1360-1363, 1997).
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin blocked
insulin's effects on lipid metabolism but only attenuated leptin's
effects. Increasing glucose concentration from 5 to 10 mM did not
affect TAG synthesis, suggesting that insulin-induced lipogenesis is
independent of increased glucose uptake. These data indicate that
leptin opposes insulin's promotion of TAG accumulation in lean and
ob/ob muscles. Because acute leptin exposure does not correct insulin resistance in
ob/ob muscles, in vivo improvements in
glucose homeostasis appear to require other long-term factors, possibly
TAG depletion.
