Abstract excerpt
Prolonged treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with 8-Br-cAMP decreases expression of GLUT4, the insulin-responsive glucose transporter. Expression of a promoter-reporter gene construct that contained 785 base pairs of 5'-flanking region of the murine GLUT4 gene was down regulated by 8-Br-cAMP (p < 0.001), whereas expression of constructs that contained 641 or 469 base pairs of 5'-flanking region was not. A reporter...
