title: Phosphoinositide metabolism in adipocytes from fed and fasted rats.
abstract: Phosphoinositide turnover was investigated in adipocytes from fed and 48 hour fasted rats. Insulin stimulated phosphoinositide synthesis both in adipocytes from fed and fasted rats. Fasting enhanced this effect of insulin 2-fold. Hydrolysis of phosphoinositides to inositol phosphates was not activated by insulin, neither transient after 2 minutes nor after 60 minutes stimulation. Under similar conditions, alpha 1-adrenergic receptor stimulation induced a pronounced inositol phosphate production. Thus, it is suggested that phosphoinositide hydrolysis is not involved in insulin action. The alpha 1-adrenergic effect was similar in adipocytes from fed and fasting rats.
