[The role of specific blood serum factors in disrupting insulin binding to erythrocyte cell membrane receptors]. 1994

V V Korpachev, and N M Gurina, and Zh V Ivanova

The alteration of indices of 125-I insulin binding to receptors in the reactions with human erythrocytes, with their membranes and with solubilized insulin receptors in the presence of type 2 diabetics' blood serum was demonstrated (decrease of the number of insulin binding sites and increase of the dissociation constant). Treatment of patients' erythrocytes with acetate buffer solution (0.1 M, pH 5, 150 mM sodium chloride) restored the level of specific binding of insulin to normal values. It is supposed that in insulin-independent diabetes mellitus patients' serum there are specific blocking factors which interact immediately with insulin receptors thus preventing them from hormone binding or reducing their affinity.

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).

D007329 Insulin Antagonists Compounds which inhibit or antagonize the biosynthesis or action of insulin. Antagonists, Insulin
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.
