[Purpose] Insulin inhibits glucose release in the liver but increases glucose absorption in muscles. When insulin cannot properly control glucose, it negatively affects glucose metabolism and, furthermore, contributes to the onset of metabolic syndrome and chronic disease. Therefore, this study's goal is to understand the clinical characteristics of hepatic insulin resistance and muscle insulin sensitivity in healthy young men.
[Methods] Twenty-eight healthy young men (age 23.3 ± 0.5; mean ± SE) participated in this study. Liver function and blood lipids were measured by blood sampling from brachial vein after participants fasted the previous day. Hepatic insulin resistance and muscle insulin sensitivity were evaluated using two-hour OGTT along with surrogate index related to insulin sensitivity. The VO2max was evaluated using cycle ergometer. Systemic insulin sensitivity was evaluated using two-hour euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp method.
[Results] Hepatic insulin resistance showed a significant correlation with body fat (r = 0.609, p < 0.05). Also, hepatic insulin resistance showed a significant correlation with GOT (r = 0.467), GPT (r = 0.434), and γ-GTP (r = 0.375), reflecting liver functions, as well as showing a significant correlation with hs-CRP (r = 0.492, p < 0.05). On the other hand, muscle insulin sensitivity had no correlation with neither body fat nor liver function index (p > 0.05), and among surrogate indexes, it showed a significant correlation with Avignon (r = -0.493) and Matsuda index (r = -0.577). Glucose infusion rate, using the clamp method, showed a significant correlation with muscle insulin sensitivity (r = 0.448, p < 0.05). The VO2max had a significant correlation with hepatic insulin resistance (r = -0.435, p < 0.05) and muscle insulin sensitivity (r = 0.474, p < 0.05), respectively.
[Conclusion] For young men in their 20's, the OGTT-based hepatic insulin sensitivity was an indicator of hepatic function and body fat but muscle insulin sensitivity was related to peripheral insulin sensitivity. Also, for young men, higher VO2max indicated lower hepatic insulin resistance and higher muscle insulin sensitivity.
