Abstract
The effect of insulin in vitro on the fluidity of the human erythrocyte membrane in Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients and healthy control subjects was investigated using a fluorescence technique. It was found that the addition of 10-9 mol/l porcine insulin significantly increased fluorescent probe lateral mobility in the membrane lipid layer but did not appear to produce any conformational changes of membrane proteins.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
