Expression of GLUT-4 and insulin receptor mRNAs was investigated in rat skeletal muscle by Northern hybridization. GLUT-4 mRNA was barely detectable in foetal muscle, was expressed at low levels by 1-8 days and at 2-3-fold higher levels during and after weaning (18-40 days). In contrast there was little change in insulin receptor mRNA levels prior to weaning and a reduction in mRNA abundance between 18 and 40 days. Weaning rats on to a diet rich in fat prevented the increase in GLUT-4 abundance seen between 15 and 29 days in animals weaned on a high-carbohydrate diet.
通过Northern杂交法研究了大鼠骨骼肌中葡萄糖转运蛋白4(GLUT-4)和胰岛素受体mRNA的表达情况。在胎儿肌肉中几乎检测不到GLUT-4 mRNA,在出生后1 - 8天表达水平较低,在断奶期间及断奶后(18 - 40天)表达水平升高2 - 3倍。相比之下,断奶前胰岛素受体mRNA水平变化不大,而在18至40天期间mRNA丰度降低。将断奶大鼠改为富含脂肪的饮食,可阻止在高碳水化合物饮食断奶的动物中15至29天期间出现的GLUT-4丰度增加。
