title: Evidence that stimulation of glucose metabolism by insulin is not altered in isolated soleus muscle of pregnant rats.
abstract: Various concentrations of insulin stimulated to the same extent glucose transport and metabolism in incubated soleus muscle of virgin and 19-day-pregnant rats. This suggests that the resistance to insulin that occurs during pregnancy in vivo does not result from an intrinsic defect in skeletal muscles.
