Ontogeny of insulin-receptor interaction: Correlation with circulatory insulin levels
Interaction of ( super(125)I)-insulin with intact hepatocytes and its correlation with circulatory insulin level was examined. The hepatocytes from new-born rats bound lowest amount of ( super(125)I)-insulin when circulatory insulin level was high. Hepatocytes from 7 day and 21 day old animals demon...

Zusammenfassung: | Interaction of ( super(125)I)-insulin with intact hepatocytes and its correlation with circulatory insulin level was examined. The hepatocytes from new-born rats bound lowest amount of ( super(125)I)-insulin when circulatory insulin level was high. Hepatocytes from 7 day and 21 day old animals demonstrated a more or less similar relationship. Cells from 31 day old animals exhibited maximum insulin binding activity against a low serum insulin level. Scatchard analysis of insulin binding shows that the affinity is higher in the hepatocytes from new-born animals than in the hepatocytes of 31 day old animals. Higher binding observed in the latter case may be due to a greater number of binding sites. Hepatocytes from one year old rats bound very little insulin against a high circulatory insulin level. In view of these results, it appears that the down-regulation hypothesis holds true during ontogeny too. |
