This study was undertaken to determine the effects of propylthiouracil-induced thyroid deficiency on a) the capacity of muscle homogenates to oxidize [2-14C]pyruvate and [U-14C]palmitate and b) glycogen depletion during exercise in liver and in fast-oxidative-glycogenolytic (FOG), fast-glycogenolytic (FG), and slow-oxidative (SO) muscle. Relative to the rates for normal rats, oxidation with pyruvate was reduced by 53, 68, and 58%, and palmitate by 40, 50, and 48% in FOG, FG, and SO muscle, respectively (P less than 0.05). Normal rats ran longer than thyroid-deficient rats at 26.7 m/min (87 ± 8 vs. 37 ± 5 min). After 40 min of running (22 m/min), the amount of glycogen consumed in normal FOG, FG, and SO muscle and in liver amounted to only 23, 12, 66, and 52%, respectively, of that for their thyroid-deficient counterparts. Also, normal rats maintained higher plasma free fatty acid levels than thyroid-deficient rats during both rest and exercise (P less than 0.05). These findings suggest that thyroid deficiency causes a reduced potential for FFA utilization in skeletal muscle that enhances its consumption of glycogen, thereby limiting endurance capacity.

Palmitate Uptake

The extent to which carbohydrate (CHO) availability affects free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism in contracting skeletal muscle is not well characterized. To study this question, rats were depleted of glycogen by swimming exercise and lard feeding 24 h before perfusion of their isolated hindquarters. After 20 min of preperfusion with a medium containing no glucose, palmitate (600 or 2,000 microM), and [1–14C]palmitate, flow was restricted to one hindlimb, which was electrically stimulated for 2 min to further deplete muscles of glycogen. After 2 min of recovery, glucose was added to the perfusate at final concentrations of 0, 6, or 20 mM, and after another 3 min muscles were stimulated for 30 min. At 6 and 2,000 microM palmitate, glucose uptake after 30 min of stimulation averaged 23.5 +/- 9.3 and 45.9 +/- 10.6 mumol.g-1.h-1 with 6 and 20 mM glucose, respectively. At 6 and 2,000 microM palmitate, palmitate uptake was lower (30–37%, P < 0.05) with 0 than with 6 or 20 mM glucose. At 600 microM palmitate, percent palmitate oxidation was higher (27%, P < 0.05) with 0 than with 6 or 20 mM glucose, resulting in similar total palmitate oxidation with the three glucose concentrations (0.28 +/- 0.01 mumol.g-1.h-1). At 2,000 microM palmitate, percent palmitate oxidation was not significantly different among glucose concentrations, resulting in a significantly lower rate of palmitate oxidation with 0 (0.62 +/- 0.18 mumol.g-1.h-1) than with 6 or 20 mM glucose (0.77 +/- 0.25 and 0.78 +/- 0.20 mumol.g-1.h-1, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Context: Animal studies revealed that medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), due to their metabolic characteristics, are not stored in skeletal muscle and may therefore not give rise to potentially hazardous lipid species impeding insulin signaling. Objective: We here hypothesized that infusion of medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT) in healthy lean subjects does not lead to ectopic fat accumulation and hence does not result in lipid-induced insulin resistance. Design and Methods: Nine healthy lean male subjects underwent a 6-h hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with simultaneous infusion of 1) a 100% long-chain triacylglycerols (LCT) emulsion, 2) a 50/50% MCT/LCT emulsion, or 3) glycerol in a randomized crossover design. Muscle biopsies were taken before and after each clamp. Results: MCT/LCT infusion raised plasma free fatty acid levels to a similar level compared with LCT infusion alone. Despite elevated free fatty acid levels, intramyocellular triacylglycerol (IMTG) levels were not affected by the MCT/LCT emulsion, whereas LCT infusion resulted in an approximately 1.6-fold increase in IMTG. These differences in muscle fat accumulation did not result in significant differences in lipid-induced insulin resistance between LCT (−28%, P = 0.003) and MCT/LCT (−20%, P &lt; 0.001). Total skeletal muscle ceramide content as well as lactosyl- and glucosylceramide levels were not affected by any of the interventions. In addition, the distribution pattern of all ceramide species remained unaltered. Conclusions: Although we confirm that MCFA do not lead to ceramide and IMTG accumulation in skeletal muscle tissue in humans, they do induce insulin resistance. These results indicate that, in humans, MCFA may not be beneficial in preventing peripheral insulin resistance.
