title: The antilipolytic effect of insulin does not require adenylate cyclase or phosphodiesterase action.
abstract: Insulin antagonized the lipolytic actions of epinephrine in rat epididymal adipocytes when the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Ro 20-1724, was present. Adipocytes were depleted of functional cAMP by inhibiting adenylate cyclase with N6-phenylisopropyladenosine in the presence of adenosine deaminase such that Ro 20-1724 no longer stimulated lipolysis. The cAMP analogs 8-thioisopropyl-cAMP or 8-thiomethyl-cAMP, which are resistant to phosphodiesterase hydrolysis, were subsequently added to bypass adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase action. Under these conditions, insulin antagonized the lipolytic effects of these analogs, even in the presence of Ro 20-1724.
