Abstract:
Objective: To investigate whether insulin stimulates the translocation of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) and glucose uptak e in ischemic myocardium. Methods: Plasma concentration of gluc ose, lactate, free fatty acid and insulin were determined by autoanalyser, and G LUT4 was studied by Western blotting analysis. Results: Insulin increased GLUT4 significantly in sarcolemma of ischemic myocardium ［(25±4)% vs (40±6)%］, and GLUT4 content in intracellular membrane decreased proporti onally. The glucose uptake increased significantly in insulin-ischemic myocardi um. The uptake of insulin-ischemic myocardium was almost 2 times that of ischem ic myocardium. Conclusion: Insulin stimulation results in GLUT4 translocation and increases glucose uptake in ischemic myocardium. When myocardi al ischemia occurs, insulin is helpful in increasing myocardial glucose uptake a nd utilization.
