title: C-peptide does not alter carbohydrate metabolism in isolated mouse muscle.
abstract: The effects of C-peptide on carbohydrate metabolism in isolated mouse soleus muscle were studied. C-peptide, at concentrations up to 1,000 nM, had no effect on [14C]glucose incorporation into glycogen, glycogen synthase activity, or 2-deoxyglucose uptake. These data demonstrate that C-peptide has no direct effect on the measured parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in isolated mouse muscle.
