Inhibition of glycogen synthesis by fatty acid in C(2)C(12) muscle cells is independent of PKC-alpha, -epsilon, and -theta.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously shown that glycogen synthesis is reduced in lipid-treated C(2)C(12) skeletal muscle myotubes and that this is independent of changes in glucose uptake. Here, we tested whether mitochondrial metabolism of these lipids is necessary for this inhibition and whether the activation of specific protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms is involved. C(2)C(12) myotubes were pretreated with fatty acids and...
