title: Insulin-stimulated glucose transport regulated by adenylate cyclase system in rat adipocytes.
abstract: 1. In rat adipocytes, there was an inverse correlation between insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) uptake and cAMP levels, indicating that cAMP suppressed the 2-DG uptake stimulated by insulin. 2. This inhibitory effect of cAMP was due to suppression of translocation of glucose transporters rather than that of insulin-binding to its receptors. 3. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (IBMX, Ro 20-1724, and cilostamide) inhibited the 2-DG uptake, which was brought about by direct interaction with glucose transporters in the plasma membranes.
