DECREASED BINDING OF INSULIN BY RECEPTORS ON PLACENTAL MEMBRANES FROM DIABETIC MOTHERS

University of Melbourne Department of Medicine and Department of Endocrinology, Royal Melbourne Hospital, P. 0. 3050 Victoria, Australia.

Specific binding of insulin to microsomal membranes from the placentae of insulin-dependent diabetics was significantly decreased when compared with normals. This was due to an apparent decrease in the concentration of insulin receptors.

Received November 16, 1976.
