Abstract
Summary
Comparisons were made of the in vitro rate of glucose uptake by the epididymal fat pads from rats fed lactose, glucose or a 50-50 mixture of glucose and galactose. Glucose uptake of insulin-stimulated adipose tissue from rats fed lactose was significantly lower than in the other dietary groups. A direct relationship was observed between rate of glucose uptake and weight of the epididymal fat pads or estimated carcass fat content.
