title: Stimulation of glucose transport by guanine nucleotides in permeabilized rat adipocytes.
abstract: Effects of guanine nucleotides on glucose transport were studied in permeabilized rat epididymal fat cells. GTP gamma S and Gpp(NH)p, but not App(NH)p, stimulated 3-O-methylglucose transport. Effect of GTP gamma S was dose-dependent, being detectable at 0.1 mM, and 1.0 mM GTP gamma S stimulated glucose transport to the same extent as insulin. GTP gamma S (0.3 mM) enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose transport while 1 mM GTP gamma S did not affect insulin-mediated transport. GDP beta S had no effect on glucose transport by itself but rather enhanced insulin action. NaF, which is known to activate trimeric G proteins, increased glucose transport to the same extent as insulin. Likewise, mastoparan augmented glucose transport. These results indicate that a certain type of trimeric G protein(s) is involved in the regulation of glucose transport.
