Basal and insulin-stimulated glucose utilization in epididymal fat in young (2 mo old) and old (16 mo old) SHR resistin transgenic rats (filled bars) and in age-matched transgene negative control rats (open bars). A: there were no significant differences in basal and insulin-stimulated glucose incorporation into adipose tissue lipids in young transgenic rats compared with age-matched control rats. B: old transgenic rats showed near total resistance to insulin-stimulated glucose incorporation into adipose tissue lipids. *P < 0.01.
