In the present study, we investigated triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation, glucose and fatty acid (FA) uptake, and glycogen synthesis (GS) in human myotubes from healthy, lean, and obese subjects with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D), exposed to increasing palmitate (PA) and oleate (OA) concentrations with/without high glucose and/or high insulin concentrations for 4 days. We showed that these myotubes expressed an increased TAG accumulation (P<0.001) without differences between groups. Chronically high insulin, but not high glucose concentrations, increases TAG accumulation by 25% (P<0.001). Inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation by antimycin A and oligomyin was followed by a reduced lipid oxidation (P<0.05) and increased TAG accumulation (P<0.05), but only in the presence of FAs. Both chronic PA and OA exposure reduced the insulin-mediated PA and OA uptake (fold change) (P<0.001), but could not induce insulin resistance at the level of glucose uptake, whereas high insulin concentrations induced insulin resistance (P<0.001). Chronic, high PA, but not OA, induced insulin resistance at the GS level in control subjects (P<0.05). The TAG content correlated negatively with insulin-stimulated FA uptake (P<0.001), but did not correlate with insulin-stimulated glucose uptake for PA or OA (P>0.05). These results indicate that (1) TAG accumulation is not primarily affected in skeletal muscle tissue of obese and T2D; (2) induced inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation is followed by TAG accumulation; (3) increasing FA and insulin availability, and reduced oxidative phosphorylation, and to a lesser extent glucose, are determinants for differences in intramyocellular TAG accumulation; (4) quantitative TAG content may not be the best marker for insulin resistance. Thus, increased TAG content in skeletal muscle of obese and T2D subjects is adaptive.
