Abstract These studies test, using intravital microscopy (IVM), the hypotheses that
perfusion effects on insulin-stimulated muscle glucose uptake (MGU) are 1)
capillary recruitment independent and 2) mediated through the dispersion of
glucose rather than insulin. For experiment 1, capillary perfusion was
visualized before and after intravenous insulin. No capillary recruitment was
observed. For experiment 2, mice were treated with vasoactive compounds (sodium
nitroprusside, hyaluronidase, and lipopolysaccharide), and dispersion of
fluorophores approximating insulin size (10-kDa dextran) and glucose (2-NBDG)
was measured using IVM. Subsequently, insulin and 2[14C]deoxyglucose were
injected and muscle phospho-2[14C]deoxyglucose (2[C14]DG) accumulation was used
as an index of MGU. Flow velocity and 2-NBDG dispersion, but not perfused
surface area or 10-kDa dextran dispersion, predicted phospho-2[14C]DG
accumulation. For experiment 3, microspheres of the same size and number as are
used for contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEU) studies of capillary recruitment
were visualized using IVM. Due to their low concentration, microspheres were
present in only a small fraction of blood-perfused capillaries.
Microsphere-perfused blood volume correlated to flow velocity. These findings
suggest that 1) flow velocity rather than capillary recruitment controls
microvascular contributions to MGU, 2) glucose dispersion is more predictive of
MGU than dispersion of insulin-sized molecules, and 3) CEU measures regional
flow velocity rather than capillary recruitment.
