Muscle insulin resistance is linked to oxidative stress and decreased mitochondrial function. However, the exact cause of muscle insulin resistance is still unknown. Since offspring of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are susceptible to developing insulin resistance, they are ideal for studying the early development of insulin resistance. By using primary muscle cells derived from obese non-diabetic subjects with (FH+) or without (FH-) a family history of T2DM, we aimed to better understand the link between mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and muscle insulin resistance. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis were normal in FH+ myotubes. Resting oxygen consumption rate was not different between groups. However, proton leak was higher in FH+ myotubes. This was associated with lower ATP content and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential in FH+ myotubes. Surprisingly, mtDNA content was higher in FH+ myotubes. Oxidative stress level was not different between FH+ and FH- groups. Reactive oxygen species content was lower in FH+ myotubes when differentiated in high glucose/insulin (25 mM/150 pM), which could be due to higher oxidative stress defenses (SOD2 expression and uncoupled respiration). The increased antioxidant defenses and mtDNA content in FH+ myotubes suggest the existence of compensatory mechanisms, which may provisionally prevent the development of insulin resistance.
