Starvation and experimental diabetes induce a stable increase in pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) activity in skeletal muscle, which is largely due to a selective upregulation of PDK-4 expression. Increased free fatty acid (FFA) level has been suggested to be responsible for the upregulation. Because these metabolic states are also characterized by insulin deficiency, the present study was designed to examine whether insulin has a significant effect to regulate PDK mRNA expression in rat skeletal muscle. In study 1, overnight-fasted rats received an infusion of saline or insulin for 5 h (n=6 each). During the insulin infusion, plasma glucose was clamped at basal levels (euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp). A third group (n=6) received Intralipid infusion during the clamp to prevent a fall in plasma FFA. PDK-2 mRNA level in gastrocnemius muscle was not altered by insulin or FFA (i.e., Intralipid infusion). In contrast, PDK-4 mRNA level was decreased 72% by insulin (P
