title: Decreased binding of insulin by receptors on placental membranes from diabetic mothers.
abstract: Specific binding of insulin to microsomal membranes from the placentae of insulin-dependent diabetics was significantly decreased when compared with normals. This was due to an apparent decrease in the concentration of insulin receptors.
