Abstract
Inhibitor‐1 has been shown to be phosphorylated in skeletal muscle in vivo. In normal fed animals the degree of phosphorylation was 31 ± 7% and this value increases to 70 ± 12% following an intravenous injection of adrenaline. The results imply that the phosphorylation of inhibitor‐1 may be equally as important as the phosphorylation of phosphorylase kinase in elevating the levels of phosphorylase a. The role of inhibitor‐1 in metabolism is discussed.
