Insulin resistance is a condition in which there is a defect in insulin actions to induce glucose uptake into the cells. Overstimulation of β-adrenergic receptors (βARs) is associated with the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in the heart. However, the mechanisms by which β-agonists affect insulin resistance in the heart are incompletely understood. The β-agonists are used for treatment of asthma due to bronchodilating effects. We also investigated the effects of β-agonists in human bronchial smooth muscle (HBSM) cells. In this study, we demonstrate that chronic treatment with salbutamol, salmeterol, and formoterol inhibited insulin-induced glucose uptake and GLUT4 synthesis in H9c2 myoblast cell... More
