Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. In high-risk individuals, the earliest detectable abnormality is insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Impaired insulin-mediated signaling, gene expression, and glycogen synthesis, and the accumulation of intramyocellular triglycerides have all been linked with insulin resistance, but no specific defect responsible for insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus has been identified in humans. However, recent analyses of gene expression patterns in muscle tissue from metabolically characterized humans have highlighted new genes and pathways potentially important in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. This review will summarize these data and highlight the potential importance of oxidative metabolism in diabetes pathophysiology.
