title: Stimulatory and inhibitory effects of adrenaline and 8-bromo-cAMP on insulin-sensitive 2-deoxyglucose transport in rat adipocytes.
abstract: The effects of adrenaline and 8-bromo-cAMP on 2-deoxyglucose uptake in isolated rat adipocytes were investigated under conditions of unidirectional flux, in which the transport process is rate limiting. Adrenaline showed a dualistic effect in the absence of insulin. At concentrations below 1 microM adrenaline stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake; at higher concentrations adrenaline inhibited the uptake. In the presence of insulin at the maximum effective concentration, addition of adrenaline further increased the 2-deoxyglucose uptake by about 50%. In the presence of insulin 8-bromo-cAMP had the same effect as adrenaline. In the absence of insulin, 8-bromo-cAMP only inhibited 2-deoxyglucose uptake.
