The relationship between human adipocyte and monocyte insulin binding.

R Taylor, S J Proctor, O James

    Clinical Science (London, England : 1979)
    |July 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Insulin binding to monocytes does not accurately reflect insulin binding to adipocytes in various health conditions. Therefore, monocyte data should not be extrapolated to understand insulin-sensitive tissues.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Research
    • Cellular Biology

    Background:

    • Insulin's role in glucose metabolism is critical.
    • Adipocytes are key insulin-sensitive tissues.
    • Monocytes are readily accessible for in vitro studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between insulin binding to monocytes and adipocytes.
    • To determine if monocyte insulin binding can serve as a surrogate for adipocyte insulin binding.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined insulin binding assays in monocytes and adipocytes.
    • Included subjects with normal, diabetic, thyrotoxic, and cirrhotic conditions.

    Main Results:

    • No correlation was found between monocyte and adipocyte insulin binding across all subject groups.

  • Significant variations in binding affinity were observed between cell types.

    • Conclusions:

    • Monocyte insulin binding is not a reliable indicator of adipocyte insulin binding.
    • Extrapolation of findings from monocyte binding studies to insulin-sensitive tissues is not scientifically justified.
