Basal glucose and palmitic acid uptake rate in HL-1 cells challenged with different treatments

Treatments	Glucose uptake (pmol per104 cells per min)	Palmitic acid uptake (pmol per104 cells per min)
Control (n=18)	0.37±0.07	7.31±0.22
Angiotensin II (n=8)	0.28±0.09	11.41±0.46**
Angiotensin II+IRB (n=5)	0.33±0.130	5.88±0.62
Angiotensin II+PD98059 (n=6)	0.38±0.10	6.52±0.32
Angiotensin II+PD123319 (n=5)	0.22±0.08	8.94±0.64*

^**P<0.01, ^*P<0.05 vs cells not exposed.

The basal glucose and palmitic acid uptake rate was measured in HL-1 cells not exposed and exposed to angiotensin II as described in Methods.
