Abstract: The tissue-specific role of mitochondrial respiratory capacity in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes is unclear. We determined mitochondrial function in glycolytic and oxidative skeletal muscle and liver from lean (+/?) and obese diabetic (db/db) mice. In lean mice, the mitochondrial respiration pattern differed between tissues. Tissue-specific mitochondrial profiles were then compared between lean and db/db mice. In liver, mitochondrial respiratory capacity and protein expression, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1 α (PGC-1α), was decreased in db/db mice, consistent with increased mitochondrial fission. In glycolytic muscle, mitochondrial respiration, as well as protein and mRNA expression of mitochondrial markers, was increased in db/db mice, suggesting increased mitochondrial content and fatty acid oxidation capacity. In oxidative muscle, mitochondrial Complex I function and PGC-1α and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) protein level were decreased in db/db mice, along with increased level of proteins related to mitochondrial dynamics. In conclusion, mitochondrial respiratory performance is under the control of tissue-specific mechanisms and is not uniformly altered in response to obesity. Furthermore, insulin resistance in glycolytic skeletal muscle can develop by a mechanism independent of mitochondrial dysfunction. Conversely, insulin resistance in liver and oxidative skeletal muscle from db/db mice is coincident with mitochondrial dysfunction. • Keywords: Type 2 diabetes, Insulin resistance, Mitochondrial dysfunction, Mitochondrial biogenesis, Oxidative capacity
