Selenoprotein W (SelW) is a selenium-containing protein with a redox motif found abundantly in the skeletal muscle of rodents. Previous in vitro studies suggest that SelW plays an antioxidant role; however, relatively few in vivo studies have addressed the antioxidant role of SelW. Since oxidative stress is a causative factor for the development of insulin resistance in obese subjects, we hypothesized that if SelW plays a role as an antioxidant, SelW deficiency could aggravate the oxidative stress and insulin resistance caused by a high-fat diet. SelW deficiency did not affect insulin sensitivity and H2O2 levels in the skeletal muscle of control diet-fed mice. SelW levels in the skeletal muscle were decreased by high-fat diet feeding for 12 wk. High-fat diet induced obesity and insulin resistance and increased the levels of H2O2 and oxidative stress makers, which were not affected by SelW deficiency. High-fat diet feeding increased the expression of antioxidant enzymes; however, SelW deficiency did not affect the expression levels of antioxidants. These results suggest that SelW does not play a protective role against oxidative stress and insulin resistance in the skeletal muscle of high-fat diet-fed obese mice.

Rats selected artificially to be low-capacity runners (LCR) possess a metabolic syndrome phenotype that is worsened by a high-fat diet (HFD), whereas rats selected to be high-capacity runners (HCR) are protected against HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance. This study examined whether protection against, or susceptibility to, HFD-induced insulin resistance in the HCR–LCR strains is associated with contrasting metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscle. HCR and LCR rats (generation 20; n = 5–6; maximum running distance ∼1800 m vs. ∼350 m, respectively (p < 0.0001)) were divided into HFD (71.6% energy from fat) or normal chow (NC) (16.7% energy from fat) groups for 7 weeks (from 24 to 31 weeks of age). Skeletal muscle (red gastrocnemius) mitochondrial-fatty acid oxidation (FAO), mitochondrial-enzyme activity, mitochondrial-morphology, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) expression and insulin sensitivity (intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests) were measured. The HFD caused increased adiposity and reduced insulin sensitivity only in the LCR and not the HCR strain. Isolated mitochondria from the HCR skeletal muscle displayed a 2-fold-higher rate of FAO on NC, but both groups increased FAO following HFD. PGC-1α mRNA expression and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly reduced with the HFD in the LCR rats, but not in the HCR rats. PPARδ expression did not differ between strains or dietary conditions. These results do not provide a clear connection between protection of insulin sensitivity and HFD-induced adaptive changes in mitochondrial function or transcriptional responses but do not dismiss the possibility that elevated mitochondrial FAO in the HCR may play a protective role.

Abstract Background APPL1, an adapter protein, interact directly with adiponectin receptors mediating adiponectin signaling and acting as a critical regulator of the crosstalk between adiponectin and insulin signaling pathway. The inadequate level of physical activity, high-calorie intake, or both lead to adverse consequences on health, like insulin resistance. On the order hand, physical exercise acts positively in the insulin action. Purpose Here, we investigated the effects of short-term resistance training (RT) on APPL1 content and adiponectin pathway in the liver of mice fed a long-term high-fat diet. Methods Swiss mice were distributed into 3 groups: Mice that fed a chow diet (CTR); Mice fed a high-fat diet for 16 months (HFD); and mice fed a high-fat diet for 16 months and submitted to a climbing ladder exercise (RT) for 7 days (HFD-EXE). Results The results show that short-term RT increases the APPL1 content but wasn’t able to alter AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 content in the liver of HFD-EXE mice. However, this increase in the APPL1 content in response to RT was accompanied by improvement in the insulin sensitivity. Conclusion In summary, our data suggested that short-term RT improves glycemic homeostasis and increases APPL1 in the hepatic tissue of mice treated with long-term high-fat diet.

Background: Heart failure patients have low cardiac phosphocreatine/ATP (PCr/ATP) ratios, abnormal exercise tolerance and impaired cognitive function, which may be related to elevated circulating free fatty acids (FFAs). We tested whether briefly raising plasma FFAs, using diet, causes abnormalities in heart, brain and skeletal muscle in healthy subjects Methods and Results: Healthy males (n = 16, age 22 ± 1 years), recruited from the University of Oxford, were randomised to five days of a high fat diet containing 75 ± 1% of calorie intake through fat consumption, or an isocaloric control diet, providing 23 ± 1% of calorie intake as fat. In a cross-over design, subjects undertook the alternate diet after a two week wash out period. Cardiac 31 P magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy and MR imaging, echocardiography, exhaustive cycling for 1 h, and CDR computerised cognitive tests were used to assess cardiac PCr/ATP, cardiac function, exercise capacity and cognitive function, respectively, before and after the diets. Subjects on the HFD had a two-fold elevation in plasma FFAs, 12% lower cardiac PCr/ATP with no change in cardiac function, and a 12% lower maximal exercise performance (see Figure ). They also had impaired attention and speed (2.2 vs. 1.9 s, p < 0.001, and 1.10 vs. 1.05 s, respectively, p < 0.01) Discussion: We have shown a short term, high fat diet raised plasma FFA concentrations, impaired myocardial energetics, exercise capacity and cognition. Therefore high plasma FFAs may be detrimental for heart, skeletal muscle and brain in normal subjects and suggests a potential mechanism of impairment in heart failure patients.

The aim of the present study was to investigate lipid-induced regulation of lipid binding proteins in human skeletal muscle and the impact hereof on insulin sensitivity. Eleven healthy male subjects underwent a 3-day hypercaloric and high-fat diet regime. Muscle biopsies were taken before and after the diet intervention, and giant sarcolemmal vesicles were prepared. The high-fat diet induced decreased insulin sensitivity, but this was not associated with a relocation of FAT/CD36 or FABPpm protein to the sarcolemma. However, FAT/CD36 and FABPpm mRNA, but not the proteins, were upregulated by increased fatty acid availability. This suggests a time dependency in the upregulation of FAT/CD36 and FABPpm protein during high availability of plasma fatty acids. Furthermore, we did not detect FATP1 and FATP4 protein in giant sarcolemmal vesicles obtained from human skeletal muscle. In conclusion, this study shows that a short-term lipid-load increases mRNA content of key lipid handling proteins in human muscle. However, decreased insulin sensitivity after a high-fat diet is not accompanied with relocation of FAT/CD36 or FABPpm protein to the sarcolemma. Finally, FATP1 and FATP4 protein was located intracellularly but not at the sarcolemma in humans.

Short-term high-fat diet results in enhanced expression of markers for macrophages in skeletal muscle of healthy male subjects. This may be an early event in the development of insulin resistance in the course of high-fat diet induced obesity.

Abstract Background:IMCLs are an important factor in skeletal muscle insulin resistance. This study aimed to explore the effect of Jianpi Qinghua formula (JPQHF) on IMCLs and its mechanism, as well as the relationship between IMCLs and other skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity factors, thereby elucidating the mechanism by which JPQHF improves insulin sensitivity.Methods: In an in vivo experiment, JPQHF and pioglitazone (PIO) were individually used to treat C57 mice with high-fat diet-induced obesity. In an in vitro experiment, JPQHF and rapamycin in serum were individually used to treat C2C12 cells induced with palmitic acid. The IMCLs of tissue and cells were subjected to oil red O staining. The RNA and protein expression of PPARγ, myogenin, mTORC1 and members of the PI3K/AKT pathway in skeletal muscle tissue and C2C12 cells was examined. Differences between the different intervention groups were determined.Results: IMCLs were significantly increased in mice with obesity induced by a high-fat diet and the C2C12 cell line treated with palmitic acid compared to the corresponding controls. mTORC1 phosphorylation and PPARγ levels were also increased, and AKT phosphorylation and myogenin levels were decreased. Intervention with JPQHF reversed the above changes. In addition, the PPARγ level in C2C12 cells was reduced after intervention with rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTORC1. However, AKT phosphorylation and myogenin levels did not recover after rapamycin intervention.Conclusion: IMCLs were significantly increased in obese C57 mice and palmitic acid-treated C2C12 cells. JPQHF reduced IMCLs both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, this effect likely occurred through JPQHF-mediated inhibition of the overactivation of mTORC1 and a subsequent reduction in the expression of PPARγ. However, the function of JPQHF in elevating myogenin levels and the PI3K/AKT pathway may not be entirely dependent on mTORC1.
