Abstract
During lactation glucose metabolism in paraovarian adipocytes is characterized by a 40 and 80% decrease of glucose incorporation into CO 2 and fatty acids in the presence of insulin. In contrast with the stimulation by insulin of glucose incorporation into lactate, glycerol remains unchanged. As a result, insulin sensitivity of total glucose metabolism (oxidation and lipid synthesis) is not altered in adipocytes from lactating rats.
