title: Parallel insulin-like growth factor I and insulin resistance in muscles of rats fed a high fat diet.
abstract: The possibility of a similarity between insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin resistance in epitrochlearis muscles of rats fed a high fat diet [20% (wt/wt) fat] vs. a low fat diet [5% (wt/wt) fat] was investigated. Half-maximally and maximally effective concentrations of IGF-I- and insulin-stimulated 3-O-methyl-glucose transport were 2.32 and 25 nM, respectively, for IGF-I, compared with 0.79 and 20 nM for insulin. The high fat diet reduced both responsiveness and sensitivity of IGF-I-stimulated 3-O-methyl-glucose transport in parallel with the impaired insulin-stimulated 3-O-methyl-glucose transport. IGF-I binding at 2.5 nM to incubated epitrochlearis muscle was also decreased by the high fat diet (P < 0.05). Thus, the high fat diet caused simultaneous IGF-I and insulin resistance in rat skeletal muscle. The IGF-I resistance induced by feeding the high fat diet seems at least partially due to a reduction in IGF-I binding.
