Regulation of hepatic fat and glucose oxidation in rats with lipid‐induced hepatic insulin resistance

Tiago C. Alves, Douglas E. Befroy, Richard G. Kibbey, Mario Kahn, Roberto Codella, Rui A. Carvalho, Kitt Falk Petersen, Gerald I. Shulman – 11 January 2011 – Pyruvate dehydrogenase plays a critical role in the regulation of hepatic glucose and fatty acid oxidation; however, surprisingly little is known about its regulation in vivo. In this study we examined the individual effects of insulin and substrate availability on the regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase flux (VPDH) to tricarboxylic acid flux (VTCA) in livers of awake rats with lipid‐induced hepatic insulin resistance.
