Consumption of high fat diet leads to muscle lipid accumulation which is an important factor involved in induction of insulin resistance. Ceramide is likely to partially inhibit insulin signaling cascade. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different high fat diets on ceramide metabol

Abstract
Increased plasma levels of free fatty acids (FFA) occur in states of insulin resistance such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. These high levels of plasma FFA seem to play an important role for the development of insulin resistance but the mechanisms involved are not known. We demonstrated that acute exposure to FFA (1 h) in rat incubated skeletal muscle leads to an increase in the insulin‐stimulated glycogen synthesis and glucose oxidation. In conditions of prolonged exposure to FFA, however, the insulin‐stimulated glucose uptake and metabolism is impaired in skeletal muscle. In this review, we discuss the differences between the effects of acute and prolonged exposure to FFA on skeletal muscle glucose metabolism and the possible mechanisms involved in the FFA‐induced insulin resistance.
