The precise cause of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes is unknown. However, there is it strong association between insulin resistance and lipid accumulation - and, in particular, lipotoxic fatty acid metabolites - in insulin-target tissues. Such accumulation is known to cause insulin resistance, particularly in skeletal muscle, by reducing insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Reduced fat-oxidation capacity appears to cause such lipid accumulation and, over the past few years, many studies have concluded that decreased mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation could be the initiating cause of lipid deposition and the development of insulin resistance. The aim of this review is to summarize the latest findings regarding the link between skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance in humans. At present, there are too few Studies to definitively conclude that, in this context, mitochondria are functionally impaired (dysfunction in the respiratory chain). Indeed. insulin resistance could also be related to a decrease in the number of mitochondria or to a combination of this and mitochondrial dysfunction. Finally, we also consider whether or not these aberrations could be the cause of the development of the disease or whether mitochondrial dysfunction may simply be the consequence of an insulin-resistant state.
