AimInsulin resistance induced by growth hormone (GH) is linked to promotion of lipolysis by unknown mechanisms. We hypothesized that suppression of the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase in the active form (PDHa) underlies GH-induced insulin resistance similar to what is observed during fasting. MethodsEight healthy male subjects were studied four times in a randomized, single-blinded parallel design: Control, GH, Fasting (36h) and GH+Fasting. GH (30ngxkg(-1)xmin(-1)) or saline was infused throughout the metabolic study day. Substrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity were assessed by indirect calorimetry and isotopically determined rates of glucose turnover before and after a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. PDHa activity, PDH-E1 phosphorylation, PDK4 expression and activation of insulin signalling proteins were assessed in skeletal muscle. ResultsBoth fasting and GH promoted lipolysis, which was associated with approximate to 50% reduction in insulin sensitivity compared with the control day. PDHa activity was significantly reduced by GH as well as fasting. This was associated with increased inhibitory PDH-E1 phosphorylation on site 1 (Ser(293)) and 2 (Ser(300)) and up-regulation of PDK4 mRNA, while canonical insulin signalling to glucose transport was unaffected. ConclusionCompetition between intermediates of glucose and fatty acids seems to play a causal role in insulin resistance induced by GH in human subjects.
