Abstrakt: Determines the effect of desensitization of adipocyte beta-adrenergic receptors on insulin sensitivity by continuously infusing rats with isoproterenol. Higher level of insulin sensitivity in treated rats; Indication that desensitization of beta-adrenergic receptors result in tighter coupling between insulin receptors and stimulation of glucose transport.
