The effect of fasting on the activation in vivo of the insulin receptor kinase.
Contreras, Ivan; Dohm, G. Lynis; Abdallah, Silvia; Wells, James A.; Mooney, Nitin; Rovira, Adela; Caro, Jose F. (East Carolina University, 1990-02-01)Fasting causes insulin resistance in liver and fat, and increases insulin sensitivity in muscle. We studied the response in vitro and in vivo to insulin of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in muscle and liver from 72 ... -
An in vitro human muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies. Decreased insulin stimulation of glucose transport in muscle from morbidly obese and diabetic subjects.
Dohm, G. Lynis; Tapscott, Edward B.; Pories, Walter J.; Dabbs, David J.; Flickinger, Edward G.; Meelheim, Diane; Fushiki, Tohru; Atkinson, Samuel M.; Elton, Charles W.; Caro, Jose F. (East Carolina University, 1988-08)We have developed an in vitro muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies with human muscle tissue and have investigated the effects of obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) on glucose transport. ...
