Cytochalasin B-sensitive 2-Deoxy-d-glucose Transport in Adipose Cell Ghosts

Glucose oxidation of isolated white fat cells in the presence or absence of insulin was abolished by as little as 3 pM cytochalasin B in medium containing 0.2 mM glucose.This agent inhibited fat cell D-Il-Wlglucose conversion to COa half-maximally at 0.2 pM, which was about 700 and 30 times as effective as phlorizin and phloretin, respectively.
