Insulin binding to circulating monocytes and erythrocytes in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes in the young. 1987

C Naidoo, and I Jialal, and R D Dunn, and T Govender, and S M Joubert

125I-insulin binding to circulating monocytes and erythrocytes was carried out in 9 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes in the young (NIDDY), who belonged to families in which non-insulin-dependent diabetes was transmitted through 3 generations. The diabetics had a decreased mean maximum specific binding to monocytes 2.1 (1.1-4.1%) compared to 4.0 (2.6-6.2%) in their age, sex and weight matched reference subjects. This decreased binding was primarily due to a decrease in receptor number as all diabetics had normal affinity values (2-10 ng/ml). We have attributed the decreased binding in NIDDY to the down regulatory effect of the basal hyperinsulinemia (23.6 +/- 3.2 vs 11.7 +/- 0.5 microU/ml). By contrast the maximum specific binding to erythrocyte was similar in both groups (9.7 +/- 0.5; 8.9 +/- 0.5%; p greater than 0.5).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

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.
