Insensitivity of large rat adipocytes to the antilipolytic effects of insulin

The ability of insulin to inhibit epinephrine-stimulated lipolysis was compared in large and small rat adipocytes. Large cells were obtained from older, obese animals (< 12 months old and < 500 g) and small cells were obtained from younger, leaner animals (4–5 weeks ild, 140–160 g). When full...
