Background. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are features of obesity, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and other disorders. Skeletal muscle is a major site of insulin action, and insulin sensitivity may be related to the fatty-acid composition of the phospholipids within the muscle membranes involved in the action of insulin.Methods. We determined the relation between the fatty-acid composition of skeletal-muscle phospholipids and insulin sensitivity in two groups of subjects. In one study, we obtained samples of the rectus abdominis muscle from 27 patients undergoing coronary artery surgery; fasting serum insulin levels provided an index of insulin sensitivity. In the second study, a biopsy of the vastus lateralis muscle was performed in 13 normal men, and insulin sensitivity was assessed by euglycemic-clamp studies.Results. In the patients undergoing surgery, the fasting serum insulin concentration (a measure of insulin resistance) was negatively correlated with the percentage of individual long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid fraction of muscle, particularly arachidonic acid (r = -0.63, P
