Kinetics of in vivo muscle insulin-mediated glucose uptake in human obesity.

Abstract：

:The kinetics of in vivo insulin-mediated glucose uptake in human obesity have not been previously studied. To examine this, we used the glucose-clamp technique to measure whole-body and leg muscle glucose uptake in seven lean and six obese men during hyperinsulinemia (approximately 2000 pM) at four glucose levels (approximately 4.5, approximately 8.3, approximately 13.5, and approximately 23.5 mM). To measure leg glucose uptake, the femoral artery and vein were catheterized, and blood flow was measured by thermodilution (leg glucose uptake = arteriovenous glucose difference x blood flow). With this approach, we found that rates of whole-body and leg glucose uptake were significantly lower in obese than in lean subjects at each glucose plateau. Leg blood flow rates increased from 4.3 +/- 0.4 to 6.5 +/- 0.8 dl/min over the range of glucose in lean subjects (P less than 0.05) but remained unchanged in obese subjects. The apparent maximal capacity (Vmax), based on whole-body and leg glucose uptake, was reduced in obese compared with lean subjects, but the apparent Km was similar in the lean and obese subjects (6-9 mM, NS). To assess the affinity of muscle for glucose extraction independent of changes in muscle plasma flow, we determined the mean half-maximal effective glucose concentration (EG50) and found it was similar in the lean and obese subjects (6.0 +/- 0.3 vs. 6.0 +/- 0.8 mM, NS). We conclude that 1) the kinetics of in vivo insulin-mediated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle in human obesity are characterized by reduced Vmax but normal Km; 2) the EG50 for insulin-mediated glucose extraction in skeletal muscle was 6 mM in both lean and obese subjects, consistent with a Km characteristic of the glucose-transport system; 3) obese subjects were unable to generate increases in blood flow in response to hyperglycemia under hyperinsulinemic conditions, and this contributed significantly to lower rates of leg and whole-body glucose uptake.
