Subcellular lipid droplet distribution in red and white muscles in the obese Zucker rat
2012
Aims/hypothesis
Little is known about the subcellular distribution of lipids in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle. However, it has recently been suggested that lipid accumulation in the subsarcolemmal region directly contributes to insulin resistance. Therefore we hypothesised that regional differences in lipid distribution in insulin-resistant muscle may be mediated by: (1) a reduction in fatty acid trafficking into mitochondria; and/or (2) a regional increase in the enzymes regulating lipid synthesis.
