We examined insulin signalling in rat epididymal adipocytes which developed insulin resistance by the in vivo infusion of glucosamine. Insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake into the adipocytes isolated from rats which were infused glucosamine for 4 h was diminished by 26%. To analyse insulin signalling in adipocytes, the epididymal fat tissues were harvested 5 min after insulin administration (10 U/kg), which was administered immediately after glucosamine infusion.
