In order to study the role of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), PKB, FRAP, S6 kinase, and MAP kinase in insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis, we used a specific inhibitor of PI3K, LY294002, the immunosuppressant inhibitor of FRAP, rapamycin, and the inhibitor of MAPK kinase (MEK)/MAPK, PD98059,

Insulin has both short- and long-term effects on cellular metabolism. The short-term effects are known to involve the insulin receptor, a protein kinase capable of phosphorylating itself and other proteins. The role of the receptor was elucidated by studies of a mutant insulin receptor which lacked
## Abstract HTC cells incubated in the absence of serum for more than 14 hours have very low levels of ornithine decarboxylase, the first enzyme on the pathway of polyamine synthesis. Readdition of serum causes an increase in the activity of ODC, reaching a maximum on average 17 times above the bas
The influence of the intracellular K+ concentration on the effects of growth factors (insulin, EGF, hydrocortisone, and transferrin) and LDL on growth of HeLa cells was investigated. Upon replacement of K t in a chemically defined medium (K+-CDM) by Rb+ (Rb+-CDM), about 80% of the intracellular K t
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 g
