Skeletal muscle insulin resistance plays a key role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. It recently has been hypothesized that excessive activity of the inhibitor of B (I B)/nuclear factor B (NF B) inflammatory pathway is a mechanism underlying skeletal muscle insulin resistance. However, it is not known whether I B/NF B signaling in muscle from subjects with type 2 diabetes is abnormal. We studied I B/NF B signaling in vastus lateralis muscle from six subjects with type 2 diabetes and eight matched control subjects. Muscle from type 2 diabetic subjects was characterized by a 60% decrease in I Bß protein abundance, an indicator of increased activation of the I B/NF B pathway. I Bß abundance directly correlated with insulin-mediated glucose disposal (Rd) during a hyperinsulinemic (40 mU · m–2 · min–1)-euglycemic clamp (r = 0.63, P = 0.01), indicating that increased I B/NF B pathway activity is associated with muscle insulin resistance. We also investigated whether reversal of this abnormality could be a mechanism by which training improves insulin sensitivity. In control subjects, 8 weeks of aerobic exercise training caused a 50% increase in both I B and I Bß protein. In subjects with type 2 diabetes, training increased I B and I Bß protein to levels comparable with that of control subjects, and these increments were accompanied by a 40% decrease in tumor necrosis factor muscle content and a 37% increase in insulin-stimulated glucose disposal. In summary, subjects with type 2 diabetes have reduced I B protein abundance in muscle, suggesting excessive activity of the I B/NF B pathway. Moreover, this abnormality is reversed by exercise training.
