Abstract:
:We studied the effect of pertussis toxin (PT) treatment on the ability of insulin to inhibit lipolysis and to stimulate glucose oxidation in isolated rat adipocytes. In cells maximally modified by PT (100% ADP ribosylation of a 41-kdalton protein in membranes), the ability of insulin to inhibit lipolysis stimulated either by PT alone or in combination with a catecholamine was abolished. In cells wherein ADP ribosylation was submaximal (about 67% modification), a small but variable antilipolytic action of insulin could still be detected. In cells maximally modified by PT, both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation were markedly reduced (to 10-15% of control levels). However, relative to the basal oxidation level, the fold stimulation by insulin in PT-treated cells was equivalent to the fold stimulation in control cells. Nonetheless, PT treatment caused a rightward shift in the dose-response curve for insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation as well as a small reduction in insulin binding. Our results point strongly not only to a link between the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory complex (Gi) and the antilipolytic action of insulin but also to a link between the Gi complex and the overall regulation of glucose metabolism in adipocytes.
