Altered skeletal muscle fatty acid (FA) metabolism contributes to insulin resistance. Here, we compared skeletal muscle FA handling between subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG;  n  = 12 (7 males)) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT;  n  = 14 (7 males)) by measuring arterio-venous concentration differences across forearm muscle. [ 2 H 2 ]-palmitate was infused intravenously, labeling circulating endogenous triacylglycerol (TAG) and free fatty acids (FFA), whereas [U- 13 C]-palmitate was incorporated in a high-fat mixed-meal, labeling chylomicron-TAG. Skeletal muscle biopsies were taken to determine muscle TAG, diacylglycerol (DAG), FFA, and phospholipid content, their fractional synthetic rate (FSR) and degree of saturation, and gene expression. Insulin sensitivity was assessed using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Net skeletal muscle glucose uptake was lower ( p  = 0.018) and peripheral insulin sensitivity tended to be reduced ( p  = 0.064) in IGT as compared to IFG subjects. Furthermore, IGT showed higher skeletal muscle extraction of VLDL-TAG ( p  = 0.043), higher muscle TAG content ( p  = 0.025), higher saturation of FFA ( p  = 0.004), lower saturation of TAG ( p  = 0.017) and a tendency towards a lower TAG FSR ( p  = 0.073) and a lower saturation of DAG ( p  = 0.059)  versus  IFG individuals. Muscle oxidative gene expression was lower in IGT subjects. In conclusion, increased liver-derived TAG extraction and reduced lipid turnover of saturated FA, rather than DAG content, in skeletal muscle accompany the more pronounced insulin resistance in IGT  versus  IFG subjects.
