Insulin and glucagon receptor binding was studied in purified liver membranes from rats
made insulin resistant by implantation of an MtT pituitary tumor which secretes growth
hormone, prolactin, and ACTH. Insulin binding to its receptors was decreased and
correlated with the degree of insulin resistance. In contrast, binding of glucagon to its
receptors was unchanged.

Insulin binding to its receptors was decreased and correlated with the degree of insulin resistance. In contrast, binding of glucagon to its receptors was unchanged.
