Insulin binding and effects in isolated soleus muscle of lean and obese mice. 1978

Y Le Marchand-Brustel, and B Jeanrenaud, and P Freychet

To get some insight into the mechanisms of insulin resistance in obesity, insulin binding and biological effects were investigated in soleus muscles isolated from normal and obese mice. Basal and insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake were measured at the steady state of insulin binding. The results were consistent with the concept of spare receptors, i.e., maximal insulin effect was achieved when only about 20% of total receptors was occupied. When similar studies were applied to muscles of gold thioglucose obese or genetically obese (ob/ob) mice, and compared to lean controls: a) insulin binding was decreased; b) the insulin dose-response curve of 2-deoxyglucose uptake was shifted to the right; c) maximally insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake, glycolysis, and glycogen synthesis were markedly decreased. Insulin binding and effects returned toward normal after a 40-h fast in obese mice. These results point to two loci for the insulin resistance of skeletal muscle in obesity: 1) a decrease in the number of insulin receptors, which results in a diminished insulin sensitivity; and 2) one or more alterations beyond receptor that are responsible for the decreased responsiveness of the tissue to insulin and appear to play a major role in the insulin resistance of muscle in obesity.

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).

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
