Abstract: We have studied the effects of GH on basal and insulin-stimulated hexose transport by 3T3-F442A adipocytes in a hormonally defined serum-free medium. Adipocytes preincubated in defined medium exhibit a low level of hexose transport which is acutely (15 min) stimulated (>5-fold) by insulin (EC50, 0.1−0.2 nM). GH has acute (15–45 min) insulin–mimetic (>2-fold) and chronic (4–48 h) diabetogenic (50–80%) effects on basal and insulin-stimulated hexose transport. The insulin-mimetic effect of GH has a higher EC50 (2 nM) than its diabetogenic effect (EC50, 0.2 nM). Chronic GH exposure decreases the maximal responsiveness (50-80%) and the acute sensitivity (2-fold) of hexose transport to insulin. Insulin-stimulated transport is more (5-fold) sensitive to the diabetogenic effect of GH than is basal transport. Insulin binding and degradation were not altered by chronic exposure to GH. The diabetogenic effect of GH may occur at a postinsulin binding level. © 1989 by The Endocrine Society.
