Regulatory effects of insulin and glucose on aquaporin adipose expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Aquaporin adipose (AQPap) is the physiological glycerol channel specific to adipocytes. By means of semiquantitive RT-PCR and Western blotting, this study showed that insulin was a negative regulator of AQPap expression, while high concentration of glucose could increase AQPap expression.
