Abstract
1.
1. Puromycin (10−4 M), puromycin aminonucleoside (10−4 M) and dexamethasone (4·10−8 M) decreased the uptake and conversion of glucose to CO2, glyceride-glycerol and fatty acid by incubated rat-adipose tissue. These substances had little effect on the metabolism of fructose or pyruvate by adipose tissue. Puromycin blocked or decreased the incorporation of glucose, fructose, and pyruvate carbon into protein; aminonucleoside and dexamethasone had little effect.
2.
2. Puromycin blocked the stimulation of protein synthesis by insulin but did not alter the other actions of insulin or the effects of dexamethasone and epinephrine on adipose tissue.
3.
3. Insulin decreased the conversion of pyruvate to lactate and increased its conversion to fatty acid in the presence and the absence of puromycin.
