Introduction: the skeletal muscle lipid accumulation is closely linked to the development of insulin resistance. The latter plays a central pathogenic role in the development of numerous metabolic disorders included in the metabolic syndrome.
Objectives: to analyze some metabolic pathways involved in the skeletal muscle lipid accumulation and its association with insulin resistance in an experimental model that mimics the phenotype of the human metabolic syndrome.
Materials and methods: male Wistar rats received a control diet (CD) or a sucrose rich diet (SRD) for six months. At the end of the experimental period, in gastrocnemius skeletal muscle were analyzed: triglyceride (TG), long chain acyl-CoA and diacylglycerol (DAG) contents, muscle carnitine palmitoyl transferase enzymes activities (M-CPT1, M-CPT2 and total M-CPT) and protein mass levels of PPARα, AMPK and AMPKp. Serum levels of TG, AGNE, glucose and insulin, TNFα and adiponectin were determined. Insulin sensitivity was measured by the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.
