The behaviour of insulin binding receptors is rather unelucidated in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus of the young. Authors in continuing their previous work studied the behaviour of insulin binding receptors of erythrocytes and monocytes in 9 MODY patients. They observed that specific insulin binding of circulating blood cells was significantly decreased in all cases as compared to the controls despite of a good state of metabolism (in the case of erythrocytes 4.63 +/- 1.1% vs. 6.03 +/- 1.7%, p less than 0.05, in the case of monocytes 2.3 +/- 1.2% vs. 3.6 +/- 1.4%, p less than 0.05). The lower value of insulin binding resulted from the decrease of receptor concentrations (in the case of erythrocytes 2.36 +/- 0.78 pmol/l vs. 3.81 +/- 1.14 pmol/l, p less than 0.05).

D009000 Monocytes Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate BONE MARROW and released into the BLOOD; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles. Monocyte
D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
