title: Insulin receptors in human mononuclear leucocytes. I. Binding and degradation of insulin in normal subjects.
abstract: The binding and degradation of 125I-Insulin were investigated in mononuclear leukocytes of normal subjects. The binding data analysis show that the insulin degradation is strictly correlated with the binding of the hormone to its receptors: these data suggest that the binding of insulin to specific receptor is the possible first step for its degradation.
