Expression Profiling Identifies Genes That Continue to Respond to Insulin in Adipocytes Made Insulin-resistant by Treatment with Tumor Necrosis Factor-α
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
We have employed microarray technology using RNA from normal 3T3-L1 adipocytes and from 3T3-L1 adipocytes made insulin-resistant by treatment with tumor necrosis factor-alpha to identify a new class of insulin-responsive genes. These genes continued to respond normally to insulin even though the adipocytes themselves were metabolically insulin-resistant, i.e. they displayed a significantly decreased rate of...
