Addition of EGF and insulin to quiescent cultures of 3T3 cells induce a rapid stimulation of ATP turnover. We show that, like growth factors, anisomycin and cycloheximide, two inhibitors of protein synthesis, induce in 3T3 cells, a rapid increase in ATP turnover. However, this effect was not the result of the inhibition of protein synthesis since puromycin, in the same experimental conditions, did not stimulate ATP turnover.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
