We examined, in muscle of lean and obese Zucker rats, basal, insulin-induced, and contraction-induced fatty acid transporter translocation and fatty acid uptake, esterification, and oxidation. In lean rats, insulin and contraction induced the translocation of the fatty acid transporter FAT/CD36 (43 and 41%, respectively) and plasma membrane-associated fatty acid binding protein (FABPpm; 19 and 60%) and increased fatty acid uptake (63 and 40%, respectively). Insulin and contraction increased lean muscle palmitate esterification and oxidation 72 and 61%, respectively. In obese rat muscle, basal levels of sarcolemmal FAT/CD36 (+33%) and FABPpm (+14%) and fatty acid uptake (+30%) and esterification (+32%) were increased, whereas fatty acid oxidation was reduced (−28%). Insulin stimulation of obese rat muscle increased plasmalemmal FABPpm (+15%) but not plasmalemmal FAT/CD36, blunted fatty acid uptake and esterification, and failed to reduce fatty acid oxidation. In contracting obese rat muscle, the increases in fatty acid uptake and esterification and FABPpm translocation were normal, but FAT/CD36 translocation was impaired and fatty acid oxidation was blunted. There was no relationship between plasmalemmal fatty acid transporters and palmitate partitioning. In conclusion, fatty acid metabolism is impaired at several levels in muscles of obese Zucker rats; specifically, they are 1) insulin resistant with respect to FAT/CD36 translocation and fatty acid uptake, esterification, and oxidation and 2) contraction resistant with respect to fatty acid oxidation and FAT/CD36 translocation, but, conversely, 3) obese muscles are neither insulin nor contraction resistant at the level of FABPpm. Finally, 4) there is no evidence that plasmalemmal fatty acid transporters contribute to the channeling of fatty acids to specific metabolic destinations within the muscle.

Disturbed cardiac lipid homoeostasis in obesity is regarded as a key player in the development of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we show that FAT (fatty acid translocase)/CD36-mediated LCFA (long-chain fatty acid) uptake in cardiac myocytes from young adult obese Zucker rats is markedly increased, but insensitive to insulin. Basal and insulin-induced glucose uptake rates in these myocytes are not changed, suggesting that during the development from obesity to hyperglycaemic Type II diabetes, alterations in cardiac LCFA uptake precede alterations in cardiac glucose uptake.

Adipose-tissue lipogenesis and fatty acid uptake in vitro were higher in obese than in lean Zucker rats aged 10 days. On average, insulin stimulated each of these two metabolic pathways to the same extent in both genotypes. However, in fa/fa pups, we observed that insulin stimulation decreased when adipose-tissue weight increased.
