TLDR
This work reviews insulin's actions at each of three levels of the arterial vasculature as well as recent data suggesting that insulin can regulate a vesicular transport system within the endothelial cell and suggests that insulin's ability to regulate this vesicle transport system is impaired by inflammatory cytokines that provoke insulin resistance.Abstract:
Insulin, at physiological concentrations, regulates the volume of microvasculature perfused within skeletal and cardiac muscle. It can also, by relaxing the larger resistance vessels, increase total muscle blood flow. Both of these effects require endothelial cell nitric oxide generation and smooth muscle cell relaxation, and each could increase delivery of insulin and nutrients to muscle. The capillary microvasculature possesses the greatest endothelial surface area of the body. Yet, whether insulin acts on the capillary endothelial cell is not known. Here, we review insulin's actions at each of three levels of the arterial vasculature as well as recent data suggesting that insulin can regulate a vesicular transport system within the endothelial cell. This latter action, if it occurs at the capillary level, could enhance insulin delivery to muscle interstitium and thereby complement insulin's actions on arteriolar endothelium to increase insulin delivery. We also review work that suggests that this action of insulin on vesicle transport depends on endothelial cell nitric oxide generation and that insulin's ability to regulate this vesicular transport system is impaired by inflammatory cytokines that provoke insulin resistance.read more

Insulin action and resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes
TL;DR: This Perspective reviews alternate viewpoints and recent results on the temporal and mechanistic connections between hyperinsulinemia, obesity and insulin resistance and connects insulin resistance to extensive metabolic cross-talk between the liver, adipose tissue, pancreas and skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
What causes the insulin resistance underlying obesity
TL;DR: The need to better understand the mechanisms linking visceral adiposity with liver fat accumulation, the mechanisms by which ectopic fat accumulation cause insulin resistance, and the size of adipose tissue depots is determined is underscored.

Tissue-specific insulin signaling, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease.
TL;DR: Insulin’s action directly on vascular endothelium, atherosclerotic plaque macrophages, and in the heart, kidney, and retina has now been described, and impaired insulin signaling in these locations can alter progression of cardiovascular disease in the metabolic syndrome and affect development of microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus.

Insulin-mediated skeletal muscle vasodilation is nitric oxide dependent. A novel action of insulin to increase nitric oxide release.
TL;DR: Insulin vasodilation of skeletal muscle vasculature most likely occurs via increasing EDNO synthesis/release, and insulin appears to be a novel modulator of the EDNO system.
