| Research Abstract |
There are several reports that the muscle fiber composition is associated with body fat accumulation and insulin silmulated glucose uptake. It was considered that higher percentage of fast-twitch type II fibers was one of the determinants of obesity and insulin resistance syndrome, However, the causality between muscle fiber composition and such syndrome was still unclear. We previously produced the fast-twitch fibers dominant rats (FFDR) obtained by the selection breeding for high percentage of fast-twitch type II fibers and control rats (CR) obtained by the random breeding, Using FFDR and CR, we examined whether genetically difference of muscle fiber composition affected the dietary obesity proneness by high-fat diet, In addition, we examined whether the insulin silmulated glucose uptake in FFDR differed the CR by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique. Furthermore, voluntary wheel-running activity level in FFDR was also determined and compared with the CR. The FFDR showed more obesity-resistant and higher muscle oxidative enzyme activity than CR, Moreover, FFDR indicated higher insulin responsiveness than CR. In addition, the FFDR showed higher physical activity level than CR. Based on these results, we propose that the muscle metabolic characteristic rather than muscle fiber composition is a possible determinant of obesity and insulin resistance syndrome, Furthermore, such animal group might be a good model for the association between insulin sensitivity and muscle characteristics.
