title: Insulin effect in vitro on human erythrocyte plasma membrane.
abstract: The effect of porcine insulin has been tested in vitro on human erythrocyte plasma membrane (Na+-K+) and Mg2+-ATPase activities as well as on membrane fluidity. The results indicate that the hormonal treatment significantly inhibits (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity, and at the same time decreases membrane fluidity.
