Previously, we reported that insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (ISGU) can be inhibited by endothelin (ET-1). However, the mechanism by which ET-1 impairs ISGU in adipocytes remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of ET-1 on insulin action in rat adipocytes in order to elucidate the mole
Insulin regulates the activity of both protein kinases and phosphatases. Little is known concerning the subcellular effects of insulin on phosphatase activity and how it is affected by insulin resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine insulin-stimulated subcellular changes in phosphatas
## Abstract **Scope:** The adipose tissue is a major site of insulin action and contributes substantially to energy homeostasis. Insulin increases the extraction of glucose from circulation into adipose tissue by recruiting the glucose transporter GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. It has been proposed
