We have developed an assay, which uses radiolabeled sucrose as the marker, to measure the rate of fluid-phase endocytosis in isolated rat adipocytes. In addition, the assay was adapted to allow measurement of the release of sucrose from previously loaded cells (fluid-phase exocytosis). Adipocytes ta

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
Lithium ion, like insulin, activated adipocyte glycogen synthase with or without glucose in the medium. However, the effect of lithium ion was much greater than that of insulin under both conditions. The lithium-activated glycogen synthase was stable to both Sephadex chromatography and ethanol preci
A previous ultrastructural study showed that gold-labeled insulin (Au-I) and the non-hormonal ligand gold-labeled alpha-2-macroglobulin-methylamine (Au-a,MGMA) underwent endocytosis by dissimilar cell surface structures on rat adipocytes. The present ultrastructural study compared t h e intracellula
