The fraction of free fatty acids (FFA) is present in skeletal muscles. However, there is almost no data regarding regulation in the content of this intramuscular lipid pool. We took advantage of the isolated muscle preparation to examine whether: a) increasing exogenous concentration of FFA (500µM or 700µM, 30min) b) insulin (10.00 I.U./L, 30min), c) adrenalin (4.4 nM, 30min), or d) contractions (200ms, tetani, 1Hz, 30min), affect the FFA content inside myocytes. Incubation of soleus (S) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) with increasing concentrations of exogenous FFA (from 500µM to 700µM) resulted in an increase in the total FFA fraction in both muscles studied (by 280.2% and 259.1%, respectively). In contracting muscles FFA pool was significantly reduced both in S (by 73.1%) and in EDL (by 31.1%). Neither stimulation by adrenalin nor insulin affected the total content of FFA fraction in the muscles examined. We conclude that a) increased availability of exogenous FFA at the sarcolemma level results in an increase in the size of intramuscular FFA fraction b) the intracellular FFA fraction is utilized by contracting muscles with regard to the fiber composition and to a greater extent in more oxidative muscles, c) FFA fraction remains stable upon stimulation by insulin or adrenalin.
