Insulin resistance in muscle can originate from a sedentary lifestyle, hypercaloric diets, or exposure to endocrine-disrupting pollutants such as arsenic. In skeletal muscle, insulin stimulates glucose uptake by translocating GLUT4 to the sarcolemma. This study aimed to evaluate the alterations induced by sucrose and arsenic exposure in vivo on the pathways involved in insulinstimulated GLUT4 translocation in the quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles.
