摘要:This study was conducted to evaluate the chronic effects ofeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on fatty acid and glucose metabolismin human skeletal muscle cells. Uptake of [14C]oleate was increased>2-fold after preincubation of myotubes with 0.6 mM EPA for24 h, and incorporation into various lipid classes showed thatcellular triacylgycerol (TAG) and phospholipids were increased2- to 3-fold compared with control cells. After exposure tooleic acid (OA), TAG was increased 2-fold. Insulin (100 nM)further increased the incorporation of [14C]oleate into alllipid classes for EPA-treated myotubes. Fatty acid ß-oxidationwas unchanged, and complete oxidation (CO2) decreased in EPA-treatedcells. Basal glucose transport and oxidation (CO2) were increased2-fold after EPA, and insulin (100 nM) stimulated glucose transportand oxidation similarly in control and EPA-treated myotubes,whereas these responses to insulin were abolished after OA treatment.Lower concentrations of EPA (0.1 mM) also increased fatty acidand glucose uptake. CD36/FAT (fatty acid transporter) mRNA expressionwas increased after EPA and OA treatment compared with controlcells. Moreover, GLUT1 expression was increased 2.5-fold byEPA, whereas GLUT4 expression was unchanged, and activitiesof the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 and extracellularsignal-regulated kinase were decreased after treatment withOA compared with EPA. Together, our data show that chronic exposureof myotubes to EPA promotes increased uptake and oxidation ofglucose despite a markedly increased fatty acid uptake and synthesisof complex lipids.Supplementary key words human skeletal myotubes • lipid metabolism • glucose metabolism
