Abstract

Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of insulin resistance, characterized by impaired stimulation of glucose disposal into muscle. The mechanisms underlying insulin resistance are unknown. Here we examine the direct effect of leptin, the product of the obesity gene, on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in cultured rat skeletal muscle cells. Preincubation of L6 myotubes with leptin (2 or 100 nM, 30 min) had no effect on basal glucose uptake but reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. However, leptin had no effect on the insulin-induced gain in myc-tagged glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) appearance at the cell surface of L6 myotubes. Preincubation of cells with leptin also had no effect on insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor, IRS-1 and IRS-2, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity, or Akt phosphorylation. We have previously shown that insulin regulates glucose uptake via a signaling pathway sensitive to inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase. Here, leptin pretreatment reduced the extent of insulin-stimulated p38 MAP kinase phosphorylation and phosphorylation of cAMP response element binder, a downstream effector of p38 MAP kinase. These results show that high leptin levels can directly reduce insul...Continue Reading
