Improved insulin responsiveness in rat adipose tissue pieces cultured with charcoal-treated albumin and oxygen.

In an effort tao simulate the effects of insulin on fat cells prepared from fresh adipose tissue, pieces of epididymal adipose tissue were cultured in a medium containing charcoal-treated bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a gas phase of 100% O2. Using this system, the insulin effect on [1-14C]glucose...
