Journal ArticleDOI

Free fatty acid-induced insulin resistance is associated with activation of protein kinase C theta and alterations in the insulin signaling cascade.

TL;DR: It is concluded that acute elevations of plasma FFA levels for 5 h induce skeletal muscle insulin resistance in vivo via a reduction in insulin-stimulated muscle glycogen synthesis and glucose oxidation that can be attributed to reduced glucose transport activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of dietary fat composition on development of insulin resistance in rats. Relationship to muscle triglyceride and omega-3 fatty acids in muscle phospholipid.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the particular fatty acids and the lipid environment in which they are presented in high-fat diets determine insulin sensitivity in rats and impaired insulin action in skeletal muscle relates to triglyceride accumulation, suggesting intracellular glucose–fatty acid cycle involvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fish oil prevents insulin resistance induced by high-fat feeding in rats

TL;DR: In rats fed high-fat diets, replacement of only 6 percent of the linoleic omega-6 fatty acids from safflower oil with long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids with fish oil prevented the development of insulin resistance.
