title: Insulin receptors on monocytes of young healthy persons correlated with glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.
abstract: 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.
