LID - 10.3390/ijms21144900 [doi] LID - 4900 AB - Insulin resistance, a main characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is linked to obesity and excessive levels of plasma free fatty acids (FFA). Studies indicated that significantly elevated levels of FFAs lead to skeletal muscle insulin resistance, by dysregulating the steps in the insulin signaling cascade. The polyphenol resveratrol (RSV) was shown to have antidiabetic properties but the exact mechanism(s) involved are not clearly understood. In the present study, we examined the effect of RSV on FFA-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle cells in vitro and investigated the mechanisms involved. Parental and GLUT4myc-overexpressing L6 rat skeletal myotubes were used. [(3)H]2-deoxyglucose (2DG) uptake was measured, and total and phosphorylated levels of specific proteins were examined by immunoblotting. Exposure of L6 cells to FFA palmitate decreased the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, indicating insulin resistance. Palmitate increased ser(307) (131% +/- 1.84% of control, p < 0.001) and ser(636/639) (148% +/- 10.1% of control, p < 0.01) phosphorylation of IRS-1, and increased the phosphorylation levels of mTOR (174% +/- 15.4% of control, p < 0.01) and p70 S6K (162% +/- 20.2% of control, p < 0.05). Treatment with RSV completely abolished these palmitate-induced responses. In addition, RSV increased the activation of AMPK and restored the insulin-mediated increase in (a) plasma membrane GLUT4 glucose transporter levels and (b) glucose uptake. These data suggest that RSV has the potential to counteract the FFA-induced muscle insulin resistance.
