Modulation of Insulin Sensitivity of Hepatocytes by the Pharmacological Downregulation of Phospholipase D

Figure 3

Effects of inhibitors of phosphoinositide-3-kinase on phospholipase D activity and glucose metabolism in insulin-stimulated hepatocytes. (a) Phospholipase D activity, (b) uptake of 2-D-[3H]glucose and incorporation of D-[U 14C]glucose into glycogen. Effect of insulin on PLD activity and glucose metabolism in the wortmannin- or LY294002-treated hepatocytes was determined as described in the Methods. , insulin versus control.
