}Insulin resistance (IR) is the result of long-lasting positive energy balance and the imbalance between the uptake of energy rich substrates (glucose, lipids) and energy output. The defects in the metabolism of glucose in IR and type 2 diabetes are closely associated with the disturbances in the metabolism of lipids. In this review, we have summarized the evidence indicating that one of the important mechanisms underlying the development of IR is the impaired ability of skeletal muscle to…

To postulate that insulin resistance starts in adipose tissue, there should be evidence of potential mechanisms for such a causal relationship, the manifestation of such mechanisms in insulin-resistant individuals, and their early occurrence in the development of insulin resistance.

It is hypothesized that after this early positive adaptation, a continued transcriptional downregulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation will result in decreased oxidative capacity at a later stage, which is a hallmark observed in insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.

Increased musclin expression may be associated with insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, and exercise training improves lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity probably by upregulating GLUT4 and downregulating muscl in rats fed a high-fat diet.

Although there is now evidence that weight loss through reduction of caloric intake and increase in physical activity can prevent the development of diabetes, it remains an open question as to whether specific modulation of fat metabolism will result in improvement in some or all of the above metabolic derangements or will prevent progression from insulin resistance syndrome to type 2 diabetes.

It is postulate that muscle cytosolic accumulation of the metabolically active long-chain fatty acyl CoAs (LCACoA) is involved, leading to insulin resistance and impaired insulin signalling or impaired enzyme activity, and the interactions described here are fundamental to optimizing therapy of insulin resistance based on alterations in muscle lipid metabolism.

Although the Randle cycle is a valid physiological principle, it may not explain insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, and recent knowledge of insulin receptor signaling indicates that the accumulation of lipid products in muscle can interfere with insulin signaling and produce insulin resistance.
