Incubation with dexamethasone increases sphingomyelin in rat fat cell ghosts.
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
Three hour incubations of isolated fat cells from rat epididymal fat pads with 8xlO~°M dexamethasone causes a significant increase in the sphingomyelin content of fat cell ghosts prepared from these cells. Other phospholipids, methylated fatty acids from the phospholipids and cholesterol do not change significantly. It is postulated that the dexamethasone effect to increase sphingomyelin in fat cell membranes may be related to the mechanism by which glucocorticoids cause a decrease in glucose uptake by fat cells., Doctor of Philosophy;
