Insulin-mimetic compound hexaquis (benzylammonium) decavanadate is antilipolytic in human fat cells

Figure 5 Activation of glucose transport in human adipocytes by supramicromolar doses of B6V10. Suspensions of human fat cells (17 mg/400 μL) were incubated 45 min without (basal, open circle) or the indicated concentrations of insulin (closed circles), B6V10 (red diamonds), benzylamine (open squares), and 100 μmol/L vanadate alone (yellow triangle) or in combination with benzylamine (closed triangles), then [3H]-2-deoxyglucose uptake was assayed on 10-min period. Mean ± SEM of 10 adipocyte preparations. Significantly different from basal uptake at: ^aP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01, ^fP < 0.001.
