Intramyocellular triglyceride (imcTG) levels in skeletal muscle are known to be abnormally high in obesity and type 2 diabetes, and excess imcTG is a strong predictor of insulin resistance [1±3]. On the other hand, the pathways underlying excess imcTG ac− cumulation remain unknown. Since synthesis is the initial step in imcTG accumulation, imcTG synthesis may be accelerated in obesity. Meanwhile, since glycerol is a common precursor in the synthesis of both triglycerides and phospholipids, increased imcTG synthesis may also affect the phospholipid metabolism. We have tested the hypothesis using the high− fat− fed rat obesity model and 14C− glycerol as a tracer based on our previous findings that glycerol is the main precursor for imcTG synthesis in fasted rats [4].
