N2 - Training increases insulin sensitivity of both whole body and muscle in humans. To investigate whether training also increases insulin sensitivity of adipose tissue, we performed a three-step hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp in eight endurance-trained (T) and eight sedentary (S) young men [insulin infusion rates: 10,000 (step I), 20,000 (step II), and 150,000 (step III) microU x min(-1) x m(-2)]. Glucose and glycerol concentrations were measured in arterial blood and also by microdialysis in interstitial fluid in periumbilical, subcutaneous adipose tissue and in quadriceps femoris muscle (glucose only). Adipose tissue blood flow was measured by (133)Xe washout. In the basal state, adipose tissue blood flow tended to be higher in T compared with S subjects, and in both groups blood flow was constant during the clamp. The change from basal in arterial-interstitial glucose concentration difference was increased in T during the clamp but not in S subjects in both adipose tissue and muscle [adipose tissue: step I (n = 8), 0.48 +/- 0.18 mM (T), 0.23 +/- 0.11 mM (S); step II (n = 8), 0.19 +/- 0.09 (T), -0.09 +/- 0.24 (S); step III (n = 5), 0.47 +/- 0.24 (T), 0.06 +/- 0.28 (S); (T: P < 0.001, S: P > 0.05); muscle: step I (n = 4), 1. 40 +/- 0.46 (T), 0.31 +/- 0.21 (S); step II (n = 4), 1.14 +/- 0.54 (T), -0.08 +/- 0.14 (S); step III (n = 4), 1.23 +/- 0.34 (T), 0.24 +/- 0.09 (S); (T: P < 0.01, S: P > 0.05)]. Interstitial glycerol concentration decreased faster in T than in S subjects [half-time: T, 44 +/- 9 min (n = 7); S, 102 +/- 23 min (n = 5); P < 0.05]. In conclusion, training enhances insulin sensitivity of glucose uptake in subcutaneous adipose tissue and in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, interstitial glycerol data suggest that training also increases insulin sensitivity of lipolysis in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Insulin per se does not influence subcutaneous adipose tissue blood flow.
