Insulin Stimulation of Glycogen Formation in Rat Abdominal Muscle.

Abstract
If used in thin sheets with a minimum of tissue injury, isolated internal oblique muscle of the rat forms more glycogen under the influence of insulin, simulating the specialized muscle comprising the diaphragm. De-soxycorticosterone reduces the amt. of glycogen formed by incubation with glucose alone as in the case of diaphragm muscle. Skeletal muscle offers new material for further investigation of the action of insulin.
