摘要
Inhibitors of fatty acid oxidation, 2-bromopalmitic acid (Br-C16) and 4-bromocrotonic acid (Br-C4) were examined for their effect on glucose transport in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Whereas Br-C16 was without effect, Br-C4 augmented basal but inhibited insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Immunoblot analysis indicated that following Br-C4 pretreatment, the content of GLUT1 in plasma membranes was increased whereas insulin-induced translocation of GLUT4 was greatly eliminated. The total cellular amount of GLUT1 or GLUT4, on the other hand, was not altered. Thus these results seem to suggest that Br-C4 has opposite effect on basal and insulin-stimulated glucose transport by a mechanism other than its inhibition of fatty acid oxidation. The translocation processes for both GLUT1 and GLUT4 transporters appears to be altered.
