title: Tissue-specific difference in the molecular mechanisms for the development of acute insulin resistance after injury.
abstract: Acute insulin resistance occurs after injury, hemorrhage, infection, and critical illness. However, little is known about the development of this acute insulin-resistant state. In the current study, we found that insulin resistance develops rapidly in skeletal muscle, with the earliest insulin signaling defects at 60 min. However, defects in insulin signaling were measurable even earlier in liver, by as soon as 15 min after hemorrhage. To begin to understand the mechanisms for the development of acute insulin resistance, serine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation/activation was investigated. These markers (and possible contributors) of insulin resistance were increased in the liver after hemorrhage but not measurable in skeletal muscle. Because glucocorticoids are important counterregulatory hormones responsible for glucose homeostasis, a glucocorticoid synthesis inhibitor, metyrapone, and a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, RU486, were administered to adult rats prior to hemorrhage. In the liver, the defects of insulin signaling after hemorrhage, including reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and IRS-1, association between IRS-1 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and serine phosphorylation of Akt in response to insulin were not altered by pretreatment of rats with metyrapone or RU486. In contrast, hemorrhage-induced defects in insulin signaling were dramatically reversed in skeletal muscle, indicating a prevention of insulin resistance in muscle. These results suggest that distinct mechanisms for hemorrhage-induced acute insulin resistance are present in these two tissues and that glucocorticoids are involved in the rapid development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, but not in the liver, after hemorrhage.
