## Abstract In insulin‐sensitive 3T3‐L1 adipocytes, selenium stimulates glucose transport and antilipolysis and these actions of selenium, like insulin actions, are sensitive to wortmanin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K). Selenium stimulates PI3K activity that is sustained up t
## Abstract Tunicamycin, an antibiotic that inhibits protein glycosylation, elicited a rapid depletion of insulin binding activity at the surface of 3T3‐L1 adipocytes. Disappearance of insulin receptors occurred more rapidly in the presence of tunicamycin than when protein synthesis was inhibited b
