Insulin controls triacylglycerol synthesis through control of glycerol metabolism and despite increased lipogenesis

Under normoxic conditions, adipocytes in primary culture convert huge amounts of glucose to lactate and glycerol. This 'wasting' of glucose may help to diminish hyperglycemia. Given the importance of insulin in the metabolism, we have studied how it affects adipocyte response to varying gl...
