The effects of the diuretic furosemide on the sensitivity of glucose disposal to insulin were investigated in rat soleus muscle in vitro. At basal levels of insulin, the rates of 3-O-methylglucose transport, 2-deoxyglucose phosphorylation and lactate formation were not affected significantly by furosemide (0.5 mmol/l). However, furosemide significantly decreased these rates at physiological and maximal levels of insulin. The contents of 2-deoxyglucose and glucose 6-phosphate in the presence of furosemide were not significantly different from those in control muscles at all levels of insulin studied. It is concluded that furosemide decreases the sensitivity of glucose utilization to insulin in skeletal muscle by directly inhibiting the glucose transport process.
