Plasma membrane content of insulin-regulated glucose transporter in skeletal muscle of the male Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rat, a model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

The male Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rat shows insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and visceral obesity. To obtain information on the mechanism of the insulin resistance in the diabetic rats, we examined the content of insulin-regulated glucose transporter (GLUT4) in skeletal muscles...

Zusammenfassung:The male Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rat shows insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and visceral obesity. To obtain information on the mechanism of the insulin resistance in the diabetic rats, we examined the content of insulin-regulated glucose transporter (GLUT4) in skeletal muscles. The results indicate that the total content of the transporter is significantly decreased ( P
