In a variety of cell types, insulin stimulation elicits the rapid production of H 2 O 2, which
causes the oxidative inhibition of protein-tyrosine phosphatases and enhances the tyrosine
phosphorylation of proteins in the early insulin action cascade (Mahadev, K., Zilbering, A.,
Zhu, L., and Goldstein, BJ (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 21938–21942). In the present work, we
explored the potential role of insulin-induced H 2 O 2 generation on downstream insulin
signaling using diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), an inhibitor of cellular NADPH oxidase that …
