Stimulation of Active Sodium Transport by Insulin

Abstract

Besides speeding up the transfer of glucose across cell membranes in striated muscle (Levine and Goldstein, 1955) and adipose tissue (Crofford and Renold, 1965), insulin brings about a decrease in the concentration of circulating potassium (Harrop and Benedict, 1923). Such glucose and potassium movements are not interdependant: for instance, Kestens, Haxhe, Lambotte et Lambotte (1963) have shown that isolated dog liver takes up potassium but not glucose when insulin is introduced in the perfusion circuit at 37°C.
