Insulin-resistant subjects have a slow onset of insulin action, and the underlying mechanism has not been determined. To evaluate whether a delayed transcapillary transport is part of the peripheral insulin resistance, we followed the kinetics of infused insulin and inulin in plasma and muscle interstitial fluid in obese insulin-resistant patients and control subjects. A total of 10 lean and 10 obese men (BMI 24 +/- 0.8 vs. 32 +/- 0.8 kg/m(2), p < 0.001) was evaluated during a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (insulin infusion rate 120 mU . m(-2) . min(-1)) combined with an inulin infusion. Measurements of insulin and inulin in plasma were taken by means of arterial-venous catheterization of the forearm and microdialysis in brachioradialis muscle combined with forearm blood flow measurements with vein occlusion pletysmography. The obese subjects had a significantly lower steady-state glucose infusion rate and, moreover, demonstrated a delayed appearance of insulin (time to achieve half-maximal concentration [T-1/2] 72 +/- 6 vs. 46 +/- 6 min in control subjects, P < 0.05) as well as inulin (T-1/2 83 +/- 3 vs. 53 +/- 7 min, P < 0.01) in the interstitial fluid. Also, the obese subjects had a delayed onset of insulin action (T-1/2 70 +/- 9 vs. 45 +/- 5 min in control subjects, P < 0.05), and their forearm blood flow rate was significantly lower. These results demonstrate a delayed transcapillary transport of insulin and inulin from plasma to the muscle interstitial fluid and a delayed onset of insulin action in insulin-resistant obese subjects.
