| Abstract: | A single neonatal insulin treatment in the male rat decreases, whereas in the female rat it increases, the number of insulin receptors detected at the age of one month. No difference could be observed in affinity. The extent of the binding of rat, porcine and human insulin is different (the binding of human insulin is the most pronounced), meanwhile the alterations evoked by neonatal treatment are basically identical. |
