First Affiliated Hospital, Guangzhou University of TCM.

Fifty-seven patients of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) were divided into various groups by Syndrome Differentiation in TCM and 18 cases of non-diabetes mellitus were taken as control. The relationship of Syndrome-types and defect of the erythrocyte insulin receptors were studied with the percentage of specific insulin binding to erythrocyte, number and average affinity of erythrocyte insulin receptors. The results showed: (1) The patients of NIDDM had defect of erythrocyte insulin receptors specified with decreased number of insulin receptors; (2)Mild defect of erythrocyte insulin receptors was found in Syndrome of Yin Deficiency and hyperactivity of Heat, but serious defect in the Syndrome of both Qi and Yin Deficiency, in the Syndrome of both Yin and Yang Deficiency. Above data suggested that the defect of erythrocyte insulin receptors was correlated with Syndrome-types of patients with NIDDM, the more serious Deficiency Syndrome, the more serious defect of erythrocyte insulin receptors.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
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.
