## Abstract **Background:** Cytoskeletal reorganization is important for a wide variety of insulinβmediated biological actions, including cell growth, migration and metabolism, but the intracellular signalling pathways leading to insulinβinduced cytoskeletal reorganization have largely been unknown

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,
## Abstract Insulin plays an important role in muscle cell survival and proliferation. However, there is no report showing the role of insulin in spreading of muscle cells. In the present report, we showed that insulin enhances muscle cell spreading concomitant with enhanced tyrosine phosphorylatio
