To delineate the biochemical mechanism by which
increased availability of GlcN impairs insulin action on skeletal
muscle glucose uptake, we replenished the uridine pool during GlcN
administration. Co-infusion of uridine with GlcN prevented the
GlcN-induced fall in skeletal muscle UDP-glucose levels (24.9 ± 5.3 versus 10.1 ± 2.9 nmol/g; p < 0.01) and further increased the skeletal muscle UDP-GlcNAc levels
(198.4 ± 26.3 versus 96.0 ± 8.4 nmol/g;
p < 0.01). Greater reductions in the rates of glucose
infusion (~53%), glucose uptake (~43%), and glycogen synthesis
(~60%) were observed with the addition of uridine. Similarly, the
infusion of uridine alone markedly increased the skeletal muscle levels
of both UDP-glucose (55.2 ± 14.2 versus 17.8 ± 6.1 nmol/g; p < 0.01) and UDP-GlcNAc (86.8 ± 8.8 versus 35.9 ± 8.4 nmol/g; p < 0.05) and induced marked insulin resistance. The decrease in insulin
action on peripheral glucose uptake was highly correlated with the
increase in skeletal muscle UDP-GlcNAc levels. Finally, immunoisolation
of GLUT4-containing vesicles revealed that the rate of labeled GlcN
incorporation was ~100-fold greater following GlcN compared with
saline infusions (p < 0.01). We suggest that the
marked reduction in insulin action induced by GlcN and uridine is
mediated by increased accumulation of muscle
UDP-N-acetylhexosamines, perhaps via altered glycosylation of protein(s) in GLUT4-containing vesicles.
