Abstract:
:Glucose tolerance factor partially purified from yeast extract powder stimulated [U-14C]-D-glucose uptake to a level 5.6 times greater than the basal level in the absence of insulin in isolated adipocytes prepared from rats fed with normal laboratory chow. The factor also stimulated 3-O-methylglucose transport 2.2-fold from the basal level in the absence of insulin, but not in the presence of 8 nM insulin. Kinetic analysis revealed that glucose tolerance factor increased 3-O-methylglucose transport by decreasing the Ks value for 3-O-methylglucose with little change in the Vmax.
