Dietary protein restriction reduces insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I synthesis and impairs growth. Moreover, insulin secretion is impaired and hepatic insulin signaling is activated presumably through upregulation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-2, which can stimulate lipogenesis thereby resulting in steatosis. In order to determine whether impaired insulin secretion is the primary cause of these changes, we injected insulin into protein-restricted rats and compensated for the reduction in insulin secretion for 1 and 7 d. Insulin infusion did not overcome the reduction in liver IGF-I mRNA nor the hepatic triglyceride accumulation. In contrast, it clearly suppressed the upregulation of hepatic IRS-2 on day 1, but not on day 7. Furthermore, insulin elimination increased IRS-2 in H4IIE-C3 cells. In summary, we found that reduced insulin secretion during protein restriction directly increased hepatic IRS-2 as a rapid response on day 1, while additional mechanisms contributed to the upregulation of IRS-2 on day 7.

Insulin injection restored increased insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-2 protein during short-term protein restriction but did not affect reduced insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I mRNA or increased triglyceride accumulation in the liver of rats
