The physiological significance of the xanthurenic acid-insulin comples.
The xanthurenic acid-insulin complex was found to have similar immunological properties to native Zn-insulin. This complex showed less hormonal activity on glucose metabolism in adipose tissue than native An-insulin, but its activity was increased by addition of Zn2+ ions.
