Our dose - response curve at chronic high insulin levels allowed us to differentiate between a primary defect (probably genetic) and the induction of secondary insulin resistance in
myotube cultures due to hyperinsulinemia.
Not exact matches
However, further investigations are needed to clarify whether previous metabolic influences at the level of quiescent satellite cells in vivo can induce irreversible metabolic changes in
cultured human
myotubes.
In this context,
cultures of primary human
myotubes offer excellent material for performing studies under standardized conditions.
Preculturing
myotubes for 4 days at increasing insulin concentrations did not change the basal FV0.1 in diabetic or control
cultures (Figs. 3A and B).
Along those lines, it was also recently shown that ROS function as important signaling molecules for muscle hypertrophy in vitro, where it was found that IGF - 1 induced hypertrophy of
myotubes in
culture is suppressed by antioxidants (15).
