Patients treated with glucocorticoids have elevated skeletal muscle ouabain binding sites. The major Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA) isoform proteins found in muscle, α2and β1, are increased by 50% in rats treated for 14 days with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX). This study addressed whether the DEX-induced increase in the muscle NKA pool leads to increased insulin-stimulated cellular K+uptake that could precipitate hypokalemia. Rats were treated with DEX or vehicle via osmotic minipumps at one of two doses: 0.02 mg·kg−1·day−1for 14 days (low DEX;n= 5 pairs) or 0.1 mg·kg−1·day−1for 7 days (high DEX;n= 6 pairs). Insulin was infused at a rate of 5 mU·kg−1·min−1over 2.5 h in conscious rats. Insulin-stimulated cellular K+and glucose uptake rates were assessed in vivo by measuring the exogenous K+infusion (\batchmode \documentclass[fleqn,10pt,legalpaper]{article} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amsmath} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \(\mathit{K}_{\mathit{inf}}^{{+}}\) \end{document}) and glucose infusion (Ginf) rates needed to maintain constant plasma K+and glucose concentrations during insulin infusion. DEX at both doses decreased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake as previously reported. Ginf(in mmol·kg−1·h−1) was 10.2 ± 0.6 in vehicle-treated rats, 5.8 ± 0.8 in low-DEX-treated rats, and 5.2 ± 0.6 in high-DEX-treated rats. High DEX treatment also reduced insulin-stimulated K+uptake. \batchmode \documentclass[fleqn,10pt,legalpaper]{article} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amsmath} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \(\mathit{K}_{\mathit{inf}}^{{+}}\) \end{document}(in mmol·kg−1·h−1) was 0.53 ± 0.08 in vehicle-treated rats, 0.49 ± 0.14 in low-DEX-treated rats, and 0.27 ± 0.08 in high-DEX-treated rats. DEX treatment did not alter urinary K+excretion. NKA α2-isoform levels in the low-DEX-treated group, measured by immunoblotting, were unchanged, but they increased by 38 ± 15% (soleus) and by 67 ± 3% (gastrocnemius) in the high-DEX treatment group. The NKA α1-isoform level was unchanged. These results provide novel evidence for the insulin resistance of K+clearance during chronic DEX treatment. Insulin-stimulated cellular K+uptake was significantly depressed despite increased muscle sodium pump pool size.
