1. The purpose of the present study was to maintain physiological plasma non-esterified fatty acid levels and to (i) examine their effect on skeletal muscle insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and metabolite exchange using the forearm technique, and (ii) evaluate their effect on whole-body glucose uptake and fuel oxidation. 2. Intralipid (10%) and heparin (Lipid) or saline (Control) was administered to eight healthy male subjects on separate occasions for 210 min. Insulin, glucagon and somatostatin were administered from 60 to 210 min in each study and euglycaemia was maintained. 3. Plasma non-esterified fatty acid levels plateaued at 420 +/- 50 mumol/l with the Lipid infusion but were completely suppressed during the Control clamp. Forearm non-esterified fatty acid uptake increased with the Lipid infusion (+50 +/- 10 nmol min-1 100 ml-1 of forearm) and was accompanied by a significant decrease in forearm glucose uptake (+3.23 +/- 0.25 versus +3.65 +/- 0.35 mumol min-1 100 ml-1 of forearm, Lipid and Control, respectively; P less than 0.05) and alanine release (-84 +/- 12 versus -113 +/- 15 nmol min-1 100 ml-1 of forearm, Lipid and Control, respectively; P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
