OBJECTIVE-Age-associated insulin resistance may be caused by increased visceral adiposity and older animals appear to be more susceptible to obesity-related resistance than young animals. However, it is unclear to what extent the portally drained mesenteric fat depot influences this susceptibility. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-Young high-fat-fed and old obese rats were subjected to 0, 2, 4, or 6 weeks of caloric restriction. Insulin sensitivity (S(1)) was assessed by hyperinsulinemic clamp and lean body mass (LBM) and total body fat were assessed by (18)O-water administration. RESULTS-Six weeks of caloric restriction caused a similar reduction in body weight in young and old animals (P = 0.748) that was not due to reduced subcutaneous fat or LBM, but rather preferential loss of abdominal fat (P < 0.05). Most notably, mesenteric fat was reduced equivalently in young and old rats after 6 weeks of caloric restriction (similar to down arrow 53%; P = 0.537). Despite similar visceral fat loss, S, improved less in old (up arrow 32.76 +/- 9.80%) than in young (up arrow 82.91 +/- 12.66%) rats versus week 0. In addition, there was significantly more reversal of fat accumulation in the liver in young (% reduction: 89 +/- 2) versus old (64 +/- 5) rats (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, in young rats, S, changed much more rapidly for a given change in mesenteric fat versus other abdominal depots (slope = 0.53 vs. <= 0.27 kg/min/mg per % fat). CONCLUSIONS-Improved S, during caloric restriction correlated with a preferential abdominal fat loss. This improvement was refractory in older animals, likely because of slower liberation of hepatic lipid. Furthermore, mesenteric fat was a better predictor of S, than other abdominal depots in young but not old rats. These results suggest a singular role for mesenteric fat to determine insulin resistance. This role may be related to delivery of lipid to liver, and associated accumulation of liver fat.
