glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity of isolated rat epididymal fat cells and of their delipidated derivatives ( `` '' ghosts '' '' ) was studied as a function of cellular lipid content ( fat cell size ) , cellular protein content , animal age , and state of nutrition in an effort to examine the relationship of adipose cell size to adipose tissue insulin sensitivity.in ad libitum-fed rats , basal rates of glucose-1- ( 14 ) c incorporation into co ( 2 ) and triglyceride are similar over a wide range of adipose cell size .
