Lipotoxicity in the pathogenesis of obesity-dependent NIDDM. Genetic and clinical implications

We review evidence that increased tissue levels of fatty acyl CoA cause the
beta-cell abnormalities of nondiabetic obesity and ultimately result in
obesity-dependent diabetes. Nondiabetic obesity in Zucker rats is
characterized by hypersecretion of insulin at normal fasting and subfasting
glucose concentrations. This is a result of beta-cell hyperplasia and
increased low Km glucose usage and oxidation. These abnormalities, the
hyperinsulinemia, the hyperplasia of beta-cells, i.e., its in vitro
equivalent, enhanced bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, and the increased low
Km glucose usage can be induced by culturing normal islets with 2 mmol/l
free fatty acids (FFAs). Once obese Zucker diabetic fatty rats become
diabetic, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is absent and
beta-cell GLUT2 reduced. Islet triglyceride (TG) content is increased
10-fold, probably reflecting increased FFA delivery (plasma FFA levels >
1.5 mmol/l) beginning about 2 weeks before the onset of diabetes. These
beta-cell abnormalities, GSIS loss, GLUT2 loss, and TG accumulation, are
prevented by reducing plasma FFAs by caloric restriction and by
nicotinamide injection. The loss of GSIS and the accumulation of TGs, but
not the GLUT2 loss, can be induced in vitro in normal islets cultured in a
2 mmol/l FFA-containing medium, but prediabetic islets seem far more
vulnerable to FFA-induced functional impairment and TG accumulation. It is
proposed that in uncomplicated obesity, increased lipid availability (FFA
levels < 1.5 mmol/l) induces both hyperinsulinemia and insulin
resistance in parallel fashion, thereby maintaining normoglycemia.(ABSTRACT
