title: Comparative studies on fish and bird insulin receptors.
abstract: The comparative studies were performed on insulin receptors of erythrocytes and liver plasma membranes in fish (tench and carp) and bird (duck). The Scatchard plots indicated the presence of two pools of binding sites both in fish and duck. These pools show inter-species differences in binding ability and the number of receptors. Specific binding of insulin and the binding affinity are higher in duck than in fish.
