OBJECTIVE Glucocorticoid treatments are associated with increased whole-body oxygen consumption. We hypothesised that an impairment of muscle energy metabolism can participate in this increased energy expenditure. METHODS To investigate this possibility, we have studied muscle energetics of dexamethasone-treated rats (1.5 mg kg(-1) day(-1) for 6 days), in vivo by (31)P NMR spectroscopy. Results were compared with control and pair-fed (PF) rats before and after overnight fasting. RESULTS Dexamethasone treatment resulted in decreased phosphocreatine (PCr) concentration and PCr:ATP ratio, increased ADP concentration and higher PCr to gamma-ATP flux but no change in beta-ATP to beta-ADP flux in gastrocnemius muscle. Neither 4 days of food restriction (PF rats) nor 24 h fasting affected high-energy phosphate metabolism. In dexamethasone-treated rats, there was an increase in plasma insulin and non-esterified fatty acid concentration. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that dexamethasone treatment altered resting in vivo skeletal muscle energy metabolism, by decreasing oxidative phosphorylation, producing ATP at the expense of PCr.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
