Insulin-mediated glucose uptake is enhanced in FATP1 and ACSVL4/FATP4 overexpressing adipocytes.

<p>3T3-FATP1 (dark grey bars) and 3T3-FATP4 adipocytes (light grey bars) and control adipo-cytes (white bars) were incubated with 1 µg/ml insulin for 20 min followed by 10 min of co-incubation with 0.1 mM 2-deoxy-D-glucose [DOG], 1 mCi/ml. Glucose uptake is significantly higher for insulin treated cells (* p<0,05) and this effect is more pronounced in FATP1 and ACSVL4/FATP4 overexpressing adipocytes (* p<0,05), n = 3.
