It is well established that somatotropin (GH) antagonizes insulin action in vivo and that supraphysiologic concentrations of GH frequently result in insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. However, the demonstration of an anti-insulin activity by GH in vitro has been difficult. This study, there

✦ Synopsis
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 by cycloheximide and was accompanied by a diminution in sensitivity of the adipocytes to the acute effects of insulin and anit‐insulin receptor antibody on hexose uptake and metabolism.

## Abstract We used nigericin, a K^+^/H^+^ exchanger, to test whether glucose transport in 3T3‐L1 adipocytes was modulated by changes in intracellular pH. Our results showed that nigericin increased basal but decreased insulin‐stimulated glucose uptake in a time‐ and dose‐dependent manner. Whereas
