The effect of insulin on GLUT-4 protein level in samples of adipose tissue and skeletal muscles from goats was studied in vivo using an euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. The clamp was maintained in conscious goats for 6 h in the presence of amino acids to prevent insulin-induced hypoaminoacidemia. GLUT-4 protein was assessed in crude membrane preparations from adipose tissue and four skeletal muscles (longissimus dorsi, tensor fasciae latae, anconeus and diaphragm) by Western blot analysis. No changes of GLUT-4 protein content were detected after 6 h of hyperinsulinemia in either adipose tissue or skeletal muscles from goats. These results suggest that insulin is not the prime factor involved in the short-term regulation of GLUT-4 protein transporter content in insulin-sensitive tissues from goats.
