Metabolic control of myofibers: promising therapeutic target for obesity and type 2 diabetes

Abstract: Mammalian skeletal muscles are composed of two major fibre types (I and II) that differ in terms of size, metabolism and contractile properties. In general, slow-twitch type I fibres are rich in mitochondria and have a greater insulin sensitivity than fast-twitch type II skeletal muscles. Although not widely appreciated, a forced induction of the slow skeletal muscle phenotype may inhibit the progress of obesity and diabetes. This potentially forms the basis for targeting slow/oxidative myofibers in the treatm… Show more

“…19,20 Moreover, the present study showed a positive correlation between the percentage of slow-twitch type I fibres and the BMI, which appears to be opposite to the literature. 22,23 Moreover, lipid profile was similar to controls, along with normal insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, heart rate, waist-to-hip ratio in normal range and a similar body distribution of fat mass, suggesting no specific cardiovascular risk situation still frequently associated with this muscle pattern. 22,23 Moreover, lipid profile was similar to controls, along with normal insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, heart rate, waist-to-hip ratio in normal range and a similar body distribution of fat mass, suggesting no specific cardiovascular risk situation still frequently associated with this muscle pattern.…”

“…The presence of diverse fiber types with distinct ranges of adaptability reflects muscle plasticity to various metabolic and functional demands (82, 83). In people with T2D there is an increased proportion of fast glycolytic fibers (type IIb) and a reduced proportion of slow oxidative fibers (type I) and is the reason people with T2D present with a diminished oxidative capacity (84).…”
