  1. Principal fluxes of central carbon metabolism calculated in L6E9 myotubes treated (+Res) or not treated (-Res) with 100 nM resistin for 8 h and then incubated for 6 h with 10 mM glucose, 50%-enriched in [1,2-13C2]-glucose in the absence (-Ins) or presence (+Ins) of 100 nM insulin. Glucose phosphorylation flux was fixed according to the glucose consumption measured (Table1). Remaining fluxes are expressed by median values as well as minimum and maximum values from the 20 best flux sets. Fluxes are expressed in nmol.mL-1.min-1, where volume is the volume of the incubation medium. x2 values for the averages were: Ins- Res-: 11.35; Ins- Res+: 5.42; Ins+Res-: 22.50; Ins+Res+: 25.56. (**) indicates that the flux is different to the control condition with a 99% confidence interval (CI), (*) indicates that the flux is different to the control condition with a 95% CI, and (††) indicates that the flux differs from the condition in which cells were treated only with resistin with a 99% CI. PPP, pentose phosphate pathway; OAA, oxaloacetate.
