The effect of malnutrition on insulin binding to rat erythrocytes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2007
Abstract
Insulin binding to erythrocyte receptors was compared in malnourished and control rats. Percentage specific insulin binding to malnourished rat erythrocytes was significantly lower than to control erythrocytes (P < 0.001). The low insulin binding in the malnourished rat erythrocytes was accompanied by low insulin receptor affinity (P = 0.035).
