PKC-θ Active

Hypothesis Model

Signal Transduction Block: Intracellular fatty acid flux generates Diacylglycerol (DAG), activating PKC-θ. Activated PKC-θ causes Serine-307 phosphorylation of IRS-1, uncoupling insulin receptor signaling and blocking GLUT4 vesicle translocation to the sarcolemma.

Clamp Status & Consequence

Running 6h Lipid Protocol: Plasma FFA reached 1.85 mmol/L, driving 68.4% reduction in glucose disposal rate (M-value: 3.2 mg/kg/min) via GLUT4 blockade.
