Abstract：
:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of insulin resistance on glycogen concentration and glycogen synthase activity in the red and white gastrocnemius muscles and to determine whether the inverse relationship existing between glycogen concentration and enzyme activity is maintained in insulin resistant state. These questions were addressed using 3 models that induce various degrees of insulin resistance: sucrose feeding, dexamethasone administration, and a combination of both treatments (dex+sucrose). Sucrose feeding raised triglyceride levels without affecting plasma glucose or insulin concentrations whereas dexamethasone and dex+sucrose provoked severe hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Sucrose feeding did not alter muscle glycogen concentration but provoked a small reduction in the glycogen synthase activity ratio (-/+ glucose-6-phosphate) in red but not in white gastrocnemius. Dexamethasone administration augmented glycogen concentration and reduced glycogen synthase activity ratio in both muscle fiber types. In contrast, dex+sucrose animals showed decreased muscle glycogen concentration compared to dexamethasone group, leading to levels similar to those of control animals. This was associated with lower glycogen synthase activity compared to control animals leading to levels comparable to those of dexamethasone-treated animals. Thus, in dex+sucrose animals, the inverse relationship observed between glycogen levels and glycogen synthase activity was not maintained, suggesting that factors other than the glycogen concentration modulate the enzyme's activity. In conclusion, while insulin resistance was associated with a reduced glycogen synthase activity ratio, we found no correlation between muscle glycogen concentration and insulin resistance. Furthermore, our results suggest that sucrose treatment may modulate dexamethasone action in skeletal muscle.
