title: On the role of insulin in regulation of adenosine deaminase activity in rat tissues.
abstract: After administration of insulin adenosine deaminase activity was reduced in different skeletal muscle types, the heart and the liver. On the other hand profound reduction in the plasma insulin concentration (streptozotocin diabetes) resulted in elevation of the enzyme activity in the tissues. It is concluded that the local concentration of adenosine may be effected by the concentration of insulin in the plasma.
