Effect of increased plasma free fatty acid concentrations on muscle metabolism in exercising men

M. Hargreaves, B. Kiens and E. A. Richter
August Krogh Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The effect of increasing plasma concentrations of free fatty acids on substrate utilization in muscle during exercise was investigated in 11 healthy young males. One hour of dynamic knee extension at 80% of knee-extensor maximal work capacity was performed first with one leg and then with the other leg during infusion of Intralipid and heparin. Substrate utilization was assessed from arterial and femoral venous blood sampling as well as from muscle biopsies. Intralipid infusion increased mean plasma free fatty acid concentrations from 0.54 +/- 0.08 to 1.12 +/- 0.09 (SE) mM. Thigh glucose uptake during rest, exercise, and recovery was decreased by 64, 33, and 42%, respectively, by Intralipid, whereas muscle glycogen breakdown and release of lactate, pyruvate, and citrate were unaffected. Concentrations of glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, and lactate in muscle before and at termination of exercise were unaffected by Intralipid. During exercise, net leg uptake of plasma free fatty acids was not measurably increased by Intralipid, whereas uptake of ketone bodies was. Local respiratory quotient across the leg was not changed by Intralipid (control 0.87 +/- 0.02, Intralipid 0.86 +/- 0.02). Arterial concentrations of insulin, norepinephrine, and epinephrine were similar in the two trials. It is concluded that at rest and during exercise at a moderate intensity (requiring approximately equal contributions from fat and carbohydrate metabolism), muscle carbohydrate metabolism is affected only with regard to uptake of glucose when plasma concentrations of lipid and lipid metabolites are increased. This effect may be by direct inhibition of glucose transport rather than by the classic glucose-fatty acid cycle.
