Fig. 3. Proinsulin secretion from 3T3L1 adipocytes harboring the preproinsulin
gene. Two days after 3T3L1 adipocytes were infected with Adex1CA pchi, cells
were preincubated for 1 hour under KRBG buffer without insulin, and they were
challenged by 10-9-10-7 M bovine insulin for 1 hour. At
the end of incubation, medium was collected and proinsulin was assayed by
human proinsulin ELISA.
