| Abstract | Glucose uptake by adipose tissue is mediated by two glucose transporters: GLUT4, which is most abundant, and GLUT1. While GLUT1 is expressed in many tissues, GLUT4 is unique to tissues that exhibit insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (heart and skeletal muscle and adipose tissue). In the diabetic state and during starvation, insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and GLUT4 expression are decreased in tissue adipocytes. Using 3T3-L1 adipocytes in culture, we investigated the possibility that these effects are mediated by elevated cellular cAMP. When 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated for 16 hr with forskolin or 8-Br-cAMP, GLUT4 mRNA and protein were decreased by approximately 70%, while expression of GLUT1 mRNA and protein was increased 3-fold. These changes were accompanied by an increased basal rate of 2-deoxyglucose uptake and a loss of acute responsiveness of hexose uptake to insulin. The magnitude of GLUT4 mRNA depletion/GLUT1 mRNA accumulation was dependent upon the concentration of 8-Br-cAMP. The decrease of GLUT4 mRNA caused by 8-Br-cAMP was the result of a decreased transcription rate, while the half-life of the message was unaffected. The increase in GLUT1 mRNA caused by 8-Br-cAMP was the result of both transient transcriptional activation and mRNA stabilization. We suggest that down-regulation of GLUT4 mRNA in adipose tissue in the diabetic state and during starvation is the result of repression of transcription of the GLUT4 gene caused by cAMP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
