[Effect of gamma irradiation on insulin receptor interaction in rat erythrocytes]
Abstract:
An insulin receptor interaction has been studied in rat erythrocytes after whole-body gamma irradiation (1 Gy). Specific binding of insulin was found to increase 30 days following irradiation against the background of a decreased immunoreactive insulin concentration in the blood. A change in the postirradiation activity of insulin receptors is considered as a manifestation of the homeostatic mechanism of "up" regulation in exposed animals.
