✦ Synopsis


Insulin, following binding to its receptor, produces a dose-and timedependent stimulation of entry of 2-de0xy-D-[U-'~C 1 glucose and glycogen synthesis from D-[U-14C] glucose in cultured mouse astrocytes following differentiation. Maximal stimulation of both glucose entry (217% above basal) and of glycogen synthesis (209% above basal) was observed at an insulin concentration of 1.7 x M. Insulin also stimulates the incorporation of leucine into astrocytic proteins with maximal stimulation (156% above basal) at an insulin concentration of 1.7 x M, but no effect on leucine uptake was observed at an insulin concentration of 1.7 x M. These results, together with a previous demonstration that insulin and certain insulin analogues stimulate pyrimidine nucleoside incorporation into nucleic acid, indicate that insulin has diverse actions on biomacromolecular metabolism in cultured mouse astrocytes. o 1992 WiIey-Liss, Inc

## Abstract In order to assess the participation of astrocytic gluconeogenesis in the synthesis of glycogen, mouse astrocytes were stably transfected with antisense cDNA of fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphatase (FBPase) and with sense and antisense cDNAs of glycogen synthase (GS).

## Abstract The effect of undernutrition on the rate of protein synthesis and the development of metabolic compartmentation of glutamate in the brain was investigated by using [U –^14^C] leucine as precursor. In the brain of normal rats the incorporation rate of [^14^C] leucine into protein was at
