Preliminary Observations on State of Insulin in Human and Bovine Pancreas.

Abstract
A major fraction of insulin in human and bovine pancreas is readily adsorbed on cationic exchange resin, in sodium form, from homogenates prepared in 0.15 [image] NaCl at pH 6.6 [plus or minus] 0.4. These studies suggest that this fraction of insulin in pancreas may be in a complex form, possibly with basic proteins, the insulin complex being adsorbed on the resin under specified conditions.
