Journal ArticleDOI

Substrate specificities of insulin and epidermal growth factor receptor kinases

TL;DR: Results indicate that the insulin and the EGF receptor kinase have different, but overlapping, substrate specificities, which may represent an important mechanism to preserve the specificity of the hormonal signal at the post receptor level.
Journal ArticleDOI

NPXY motif in the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor is required for efficient ligand-mediated receptor internalization and biological signaling.

TL;DR: The NPXY motif that was identified in the low density lipoprotein receptor serves as an internalization signal, and subsequent studies have indicated that the NPXY sequence is also an important recognition element for internalization of both insulin and transferrin receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The metabolic effects of biosynthetic human proinsulin in individuals with type I diabetes.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that proinsulin is approximately 7.3% as biologically active as insulin on a molar basis in maintaining glucose control in patients with type I diabetes mellitus and that further studies are necessary to determine whether biosynthetic human proins insulin has a specific role in the treatment of diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Insulin and Insulin-like Agents on the Glucose Transport System of Cultured Human Fibroblasts

TL;DR: C cultured human fibroblasts can serve as an important model for physiologic studies of insulin action and glucose transport, and for studies of pathophysiologic abnormalities of these processes in cells obtained from patients with various disease states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of heterozygous PPARγ deficiency and TZD treatment on insulin resistance associated with age and high-fat feeding

TL;DR: It is shown that PPARgamma deficiency partially protects against age-related insulin resistance but does not protect against HF diet-induced insulin resistance.
