Insulin receptor binding increased by high carbohydrate low fat diet in non-insulin-dependent diabetics. 1982

G M Ward, and R W Simpson, and H C Simpson, and B A Naylor, and J I Mann, and R C Turner

In comparison to a traditional low carbohydrate diet (LC), the effect of an isocaloric high carbohydrate, high fibre diet (HC) upon the insulin binding to mononuclear blood cells of seven non-insulin-dependent diabetics was examined. Each subject, in random order, took both diets for 6 weeks each. There was no significant difference in weight during either dietary period, but a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in the monocyte insulin binding activity on the HD diet (tracer specific binding: 4.2% HC; 3.5% LC). This was accompanied by a significantly (P less than 0.02) lower fasting plasma glucose concentration (LC = 7.1 mmol/l; HC = 6.1) without a significant change in the fasting plasma insulin level. In contrast to the usual low carbohydrate diet, a high carbohydrate diet tends to correct the lowered insulin receptor status observed in maturity-onset diabetics.

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.
