Effects of fish oil feeding on glucose transport systems and cell size in rat adipocytes were examined and compared with those of safflower oil or carbohydrate feeding under isoenergy intake conditions. Glucose transport activity was assessed by measuring 3-O-methyl-D-glucose transport. The concentration of erythrocyte type glucose transporter (GLUT-1) and muscle/fat type transporter (GLUT-4) was measured by immunoblotting. The amount of each transporter in intact cells was estimated by the amount of transporter and protein of each membrane fraction and by the recovery of marker enzymes. In cells from safflower-fed rats compared with those from carbohydrate-fed rats, insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity per cell decreased to 51% after a 1-wk feeding, and cell size increase became larger with these effects and continued for at least 4 wk. At 1 wk of feeding, GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 per cell in plasma membrane from insulin-treated cells decreased to 62 and 35%, respectively, with concomitant transporter decreases in the low-density microsome fraction. In cells from high-fish oil-fed rats in which two-thirds of safflower oil was replaced by fish oil, when compared with those from safflower oil-fed rats, insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity increased 1.7-fold after 1 wk of feeding with concomitant cellular GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 increases, but its effect declined thereafter. Parallel with this time course, cell size increase was smaller after 1 wk, but this effect also declined thereafter.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
