Insulin Resistance in SHR/NDmc-cp Rats Correlates with Enlarged Perivascular Adipocytes and Endothelial Cell Dysfunction in Skeletal Muscle

Abstract: Summary Ectopic adipose tissue in skeletal muscle is implicated in the development of insulin resistance, which is frequently induced by abnormal dietary habits such as excessive eating and a high-fat diet. However, the characteristics of ectopic adipocytes are unknown. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of ectopic adipocytes in the skeletal muscle of spontaneously hypertensive corpulent congenic (SHR/NDmc-cp) rats as a model of insulin resistance from excessive eating. SHR/NDmc-cp rats display… Show more

“…1 to clarify this point. Mesenteric PVAT is a common PVAT depot that is studied for its relevance to alterations in vascular response and blood pressure (5,23,43,49,71,72), whereas PVAT around skeletal muscle arteries is more associated with mechanisms of insulin resistance (7,27,47,48,74). Therefore, mesenteric PVAT was the most relevant PVAT for us to study.…”

“…Moreover, mouse muscle cell line C2C12 cells expressed Pparg1, but not Pparg2 (29). PPARG2 is mainly expressed in adipose tissues, and adipocytes are located in the perivascular space of the skeletal muscle, but not in the interstitium among muscle bundles, in SHR/NDmc-cp rats (13). Thus, PPARG1 expression in the skeletal muscle of SHR/ NDmc-cp rats may be associated with the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes and/or PPAR target genes.…”

“…We previously reported the body weight and concentrations of blood glucose, insulin and triacylglycerol in SHR/NDmc-cp rats, WKY rats and streptozotocintreated rats (13). In this study, we now reanalyze the results from SHR/NDmc-cp rats and WKY rats using Student's t-test (Table 2).…”
