Abstract
We quantified Glut 4 glucose transporter content, by immunoblot technique, in adipose and muscle tissue of 6 lean controls (BMI=22±0.6, mean±SE) and 15 moderately obese patients either without (n=9, BMI=29±0.6) or with NIDDM (n=6, BMI=30±1.9). In adipose tissue, the average Glut 4 content, expressed as arbitrary densitometric units, was significantly (p
