PG - 28-37 LID - 10.1139/apnm-2013-0135 [doi] AB - Given the link between obesity and insulin resistance, the role of adipose-derived factors in communicating with skeletal muscle to affect its function is important. We sought to determine if high fat diets modulate visceral adipose tissue (VAT) adipokines with subsequent effects on skeletal muscle inflammation and insulin sensitivity. Rats were fed (i) low fat (LF), (ii) high saturated fatty acid (SFA), or (iii) high SFA with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (SFA/n-3 PUFA) diets for 4 weeks. VAT-derived adipokines were measured in adipose conditioned medium (ACM) after 72 h. Next, skeletal muscles from LF-fed rats were incubated for 8 h in (i) control buffer (CON), (ii) CON with 2 mmol.L(-1) palmitate (PALM, positive control), (iii) ACM from LF, (iv) ACM from SFA, or (v) ACM from SFA/n-3 PUFA. ACM from rats fed SFA and SFA/n-3 PUFA had increased (P
