Physical inactivity induces insulin resistance in plantaris muscle through protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B activation in mice.

ABSTRACT: Inactivity causes insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and exacerbates various lifestyle-related diseases. We previously found that 24-h hindlimb cast immobilization (HCI) of the predominantly slow-twitch soleus muscle increased intramyocellular diacylglycerol (IMDG) and insulin resistance by activation of lipin1, and HCI after a high-fat diet (HFD) further aggravated insulin resistance. Here, we investigated the effects of HCI on the fast-twitch-predominant plantaris muscle. HCI reduced the insulin sensitivity of plantaris muscle by approximately 30%, and HCI following HFD dramatically reduced insulin sensitivity by approximately 70% without significant changes in the amount of IMDG. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation levels of insulin receptor (IR), IR substrate-1, and Akt were reduced
