title: PI-3-kinase inhibitor Wortmannin blocks the insulin-like effects of growth hormone in isolated rat adipocytes.
abstract: The effect of wortmannin, a selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, on the insulin-like effects of growth hormone in isolated adipocytes from rat was investigated. Wortmannin inhibited both the lipogenic and the antilipolytic effects (IC50 approximately 20 nM) with no effect on [125I]-growth hormone binding to the adipocytes. These data suggest that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase might play an important role in the insulin-like actions of growth hormone.
