1 In both cell lines, insulin significantly increased p21(ras).GTP loading (1.5-2-fold) and MAP kinase activity (5-8-fold). Guanosine Triphosphate cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (P21) Mus musculus
2 Inhibition of Ras farnesylation with lovastatin blocked activation of p21(ras) and Raf-1 kinase in both 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Lovastatin cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (P21) Mus musculus
3 In contrast, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, despite an inhibition of activation of p21(ras) and Raf-1 by lovastatin, insulin continued to stimulate MAP kinase activity. Lovastatin cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (P21) Mus musculus
