Insulin receptors on monocytes of young healthy persons correlated with glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.
We have studied in normal man the interrelationships between insulin binding to monocytes, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. In 25 young healthy persons we found a significant positive correlation between insulin binding and glucose disappearance rate both after glucose (R = 0.68, p less than 0.001) and insulin (R = 0.49, p less than 0.02) given intravenously.
